rate.<\/p>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"http:\/\/info.atscale.com\/2016-hadoop-maturity-survey-results-report\">study by AtScale<\/a> looked at businesses, how they are using Big Data, and their plans for using Big Data in the future. \u00a0The report found that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Three-quarters of businesses are use Big Data primarily for Business Intelligence.<\/li>\n<li>Two-thirds of businesses now classify their use of Big Data as &#8220;strategic&#8221; rather than &#8220;experimental&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Big Data is slowly becoming synonymous with cloud. \u00a0More than half of Big Data users are using it in the cloud and 72 percent plan to use the cloud with Big Data in the future<\/li>\n<li>97 percent of businesses surveyed said that they plan to increase their usage of Big Data over the next three months<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.atscale.com\/about\/\">Matt Baird<\/a>, AtScale CTO, <a

and what\u2019s perhaps as interesting is the fact that respondents are far more likely to achieve tangible value when their data is in the cloud.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div
