Today, an application without data analytics is like a car without a steering wheel. It
will go, but theres no controlling its direction.
This handbook explores the many emerging
and evolving Web- and cloud-based technologies for controlling and using data inside
applications. The articles look at full-featured
cloud suites, the popular Hadoop programming
framework and other business intelligence
tools that can be embedded into applications.
Our lead story, by news writer Joel Shore,
shares advice on how software pros can use big
data as a service (BDaaS) to accommodate the
expectations of executives who see the capabilities of cloud-based analytics but cant
understand the challenge of integrating with
enterprise systems.BDaaS delivers a platform
and suite of tools that can speed up builds of
analytics applications.

Rouda, an analyst focused on big data and analytics at market research company Enterprise
Strategy Group. Without having to wait for
IT infrastructure and operations teams to provision resources, developers can start immediately on prototyping and then easily roll the
new tools into production when ready.
With the rise in cloud and mobility, business
priorities have become crystal-clear: Grow revenue and transform the customer experience
while reducing costs. Each requires architects
and developers to balance traditional values,
such as security and cost effectiveness, with
the need for speed and agility.
Architects must figure out how to accommodate the sky-high expectations of digital
executives who have seen the capabilities of
analytics in the cloud and yet do not understand why it is so difficult to integrate with
enterprise systems, said Brian Hopkins, an
analyst for Forrester Research. Excuses and

surprising, given the pace at which data is created. In 2013, Norways The Foundation for
Scientific and Industrial Research published
a widely quoted study that found 90% of the
worlds data had been created in the last two
years. In 2015, its not unreasonable to surmise
the percentage has edged higher. IBM itself
says that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day.

Users and cloud providers alike are focusing on the intersection of big data and the
cloud, planning applications and service offerings to exploit the technologies. To address
this intersection and choose thebest cloud big
data platform, developers need to decide on a
database model, select cloud database services
or cloud database platforms and review the features of each platform against their companys
needs.
There are three popular models for big
data: distributed MapReduce, popularized by
Hadoop; NoSQL, used for nonrelational, nontabular storage; and SQL relational systems for
relational tabular storage of structured data.
You can use all three in the cloud, so in most
cases database design and usage concerns will

Are any or all of your query applications performance sensitive? Hadoop querying is not
as fast as other options for big data. This is
particularly true if youre using Hadoops
optional SQL capability.
Do you create aggregate databases with summary data to support high-level analytics?
If so, these databases will likely combine
data from multiple data clusters and reduce
your need to look at the cluster data directly.
However, Hadoop might be helpful here to
support the aggregation of information.
