Where Big Data fails

Very insightful article Patrick. With the explosion of big data, companies are faced with data challenges in three different areas. First, you know the type of results you want from your data but its computationally difficult to obtain. Second, you know the questions to ask but struggle with the answers and need to do data mining to help find those answers. And third is in the area of data exploration where you need to reveal the unknowns and look through the data for patterns and hidden relationships. The open source HPCC Systems big data processing platform can help companies with these challenges by deriving insights from massive data sets quick and simple. Designed by data scientists, it is a complete integrated solution from data ingestion and data processing to data delivery. More info at http://hpccsystems.com
