and Big Data: Businesses Frustrated by Lack of Reliable, User-Friendly and Secure Solutions"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>While Big Data technologies made big headlines in the tech press in 2013, by the end of the year, the adoption of Big Data technologies across many businesses was only relatively modest.<\/p>\n<p>A <a title=\"Survey by the SandHill group on Hadoop technologies\" href=\"http:\/\/sandhill.com\/exec-briefing\/do-you-hadoop-a-survey-of-big-data-practitioners\/\">survey by the SandHill group<\/a> of a cross-section of global businesses found that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>44 percent said that they are still in the exploration and education phase of Big Data technologies<\/li>\n<li>16.3 percent are conducting proof of concept trials<\/li>\n<li>11.1 percent are developing their first Hadoop-based applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not only has adoption been relatively slow, the types of solutions created to date have tended to be relatively mundane &#8212; <a title=\"Matt Assay bio\" href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/mjasay\">Matt Assay<\/a> <a title=\"Haddop as a poor person's ETL\" href=\"http:\/\/readwrite.com\/2013\/12\/06\/hadoop-enterprise-big-data#awesm=~oqXbFxj8GNqyLk\">comments that<\/a> &#8220;by far the biggest use of Hadoop to date has been as a poor person&#8217;s ETL&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While there is a strong interest in the potential of Big Data from the business side of organizations, many are frustrated by usability issues of the technology. \u00a0A survey\u00a0of business executives <a title=\"1010data on business users and Hadoop\" href=\"http:\/\/1010data.com\/images\/Downloads\/PDFs\/1010data-2013_Big_Data_in_Business_Study.pdf\">taken by 1010data<\/a>, for example,\u00a0 found that a majority feel that they are locked out of Big Data technologies like Hadoop. \u00a053 percent said that Big Data solutions aren&#8217;t addressing the needs of business users. \u00a049 percent said that current Hadoop-based solutions are too complex and that they&#8217;d like to see solutions for Big Data that have &#8220;fewer moving parts&#8221;, and 62 percent said that in order for them to more effectively use Big Data technologies like Hadoop to solve business problems that they need to be better educated about how the technology works.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the 1010data survey considered how the latest Hadoop 2.0 release can improve business solutions. \u00a0Hadoop 2.0 includes <a title=\"Hadoop YARN\" href=\"https:\/\/hadoop.apache.org\/docs\/current2\/hadoop-yarn\/hadoop-yarn-site\/YARN.html\">YARN <\/a>which allows Hadoop resources to be managed for multiple jobs running across an array of servers. \u00a0But business executives aren&#8217;t yet convinced that the technology is ready for prime time. \u00a045 percent of them are worried about reliability. \u00a042 percent say that they have major concerns about costs, and 35 percent say that there is still too much low-level coding required to apply the technology to business solutions. \u00a041 percent say that Hadoop is still too new and not yet as stable as other existing technologies.<\/p>\n<p>But software developers and integrators are well aware of the problems. \u00a0It&#8217;s likely that 2014 will see a surge in Big Data product offerings and add-ons that specifically try to create an improved experience for users.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
