Presented by Group 7:
Sam Tucker and Ayoung Noh
Summary
• Oracle is going to release new big data hardware and
software
• Big Data Appliance
• Supports NoSQL
• Implements R statistical analysis software
• Implements Hadoop for cloud and parallel processing
Big Data Appliance
Big Data Appliance
• Used for social media, web log, mobile and geospatial
data
• Up to 432 Terabytes of storage
• Linux based
• Automatically generates Java code to run MapReduce
functions
• Intended to make Hadoop more accessible
• Uses Oracle NoSQL – interprets new data on the fly
without a schema
Exalytics Business
Intelligence Machine
• 40 CPU cores
• Exalytics suite has 1 terabyte of RAM (efficiently
compresses data)
• Provides predictive and statistical models and graphical
analysis
• Used in conjunction with other tools to bring them easily
into memory: Hadoop and MapReduce
• Other Oracle products bring data into memory for
analysis almost as quickly
Why is it interesting?
• Represents a new trend in DB Design
• Include an open-source version of Apache Hadoop
software backed with Oracle enterprise support service
• Oracle R Enterprise will be backwards compatible with
existing R applications
• Less than a year ago, Oracle said that NoSQL was
unimportant
Relationship With Course
Relevant to chapters of
• Physical DB Design (current topic)
• Relational Data Model
• Data Mining
• Big Data etc.
