Overview:Big data analtytics

Today, it is very important for all of us to realize how data generation has exploded, and learn about Big Data technology evolution and important milestones of Big Data technologies. Knowingly or unknowingly, many companies have accumulated and invested in volumes of data which is nothing but “Big Data”. At a very high-level, Big Data Analytics technologies provide a means to analyze data sets and draw conclusions about them. This helps organizations make informed business decisions. Traditionally, Big Data systems used to be deployed on premises. However, cloud platform vendors, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft (Azure), Google Cloud (GC) have made it easier to set up and manage Hadoop clusters in the cloud.

This course is a first big step towards mastering Big Data Analytics.

HIGH DEMAND

Corporations are realizing the value of Big Data Analytics and are aggressively pursuing it to gain competitive advantage.

HUGE SUPPLY GAP

Demand for Big Data Engineers far exceeds supply. That means less competition and more pay for trained-experts.

BRIGHT FUTURE

The global Big Data and business analytics market is forecasted to grow up to $274.3 billion by 2022 and these jobs are not going away.
