This can as easily occur at 1 terabyte as at 1 petabyte, though most discussions concern col- To satisfy these imposing requirements constraints, Web entre- lections that weigh in at several terabytes at least. preneurs developed data management systems that achieved supercomputer power at bargain-basement cost by distributing Familiar Challenges, New Opportunities computing tasks in parallel across large clusters of commodity If one can make one’s way through the haze, it also becomes servers. They also gained crucial agility – and further ramped clear that Big Data is not new. Information specialists in fields up performance – by developing data models that were far like banking, telecommunications and the physical sciences more flexible than those of conventional RDBMS. The best have been grappling with Big Data for decades.2 These Big known of these Web-derived technologies are non-relational Data veterans have routinely confronted data collections that databases (called “NoSQL” for “Not-Only-SQL,” SQL being the outgrew the capacity of their existing systems, and in such standard language for querying and managing RDBMS), like situations their choices were always less than ideal: the Hadoop framework (inspired by Google; developed and • Need to access it?

Another class of solutions, for which we appropriate (and What is new, however, is that now new technologies have expand) the “NewSQL” label coined by Matthew Aslett of the emerged that offer Big Data veterans far more palatable op- 451 Group, strives to meet Big Data needs without abandon- tions, and which are enabling many organizations of all sizes ing the core relational database model.4 To boost performance and types to access and exploit Big Data for the very first time. and agility, these systems employ strategies inspired by the Internet veterans (like massive distributed scaling, in-memory processing and more flexible, NoSQL-inspired data models), or they employ strategies grown closer to (RDBMS) home, like in- “In the era of Big Data, more isn’t just more. memory architectures and in-database analytics. In addition, a More is different.” 3 new subset of such systems has emerged over the latter half of 2011 that goes one step further in physically combining high performance RDMBS systems with NoSQL and/or search plat- forms to produce integrated hardware/software applicances for deep analytics on integrated structured and unstructured data.

Complementary, Not Competing Tools In most situations, NoSQL, Search and NewSQL technologies play complementary rather than competing roles. One excep- tion is exploratory analytics, for which you may use a Search A Practical Guide to Big Data: Opportunities, Challenges & Tools 4 © 2012 Dassault Systèmes platform, a NoSQL database, or a NewSQL solution depending on your needs. A search platform alone may be all you need if 1) you want to offer self-service exploratory analytics to gen- eral business users on unstructured, structured or hybrid data, or 2) if you wish to explore previously untapped resources like log files or social media, but you prefer a low risk, cost-effective method of exploring their potential value. Likewise, for operational reporting and analytics, you could use a Search or NewSQL platform, but Search may once again be all you need if your analytics application targets human decision- makers, and if data latency of seconds or minutes is sufficient (NoSQL systems are subject to batch-induced latency, and few situations require the nearly instanteous, sub-millisecond latency of expensive NewSQL systems). While a Search platform alone may be all you need for analyt- ics in certain situations, and it is a highly compelling choice for rapidly constructing general business applications on top of Big Data, it nonetheless makes sense to deploy a search engine alongside a NoSQL or NewSQL system in every Big Data scenario, for no other technology is as effective and efficient as Search at making Big Data accessible and meaningful to human beings. This is, in fact, the reason we have produced this paper. We aim to shed light on the use of search technology in Big Data environments – a role that’s often overlooked or misunderstood even though search technologies are profoundly influencing the evolution of data management – while at the same time providing a pragmatic overview of all the tools available to meet Big Data challenges and capitalize on Big Data opportunities. Our own experience with customers and partners has shown us that for all that has been written about Big Data recently, a tremendous amount of confusion remains. We hope this paper will dispel enough of this confusion to help you get on the road to successfully exploiting your own Big Data. © 2012 Dassault Systèmes 5 A Practical Guide to Big Data: Opportunities, Challenges & Tools

  • Finding Fraud in Large and Diverse Data Sets
    Business white paper Finding fraud in large and diverse data sets Applying real-time, next-generation analytics to fraud detection and prevention using the HP Vertica Analytics Platform Developments in data mining In the effort to identify and deter fraud, conventional wisdom still applies: Follow the money. That simple adage notwithstanding, the task of tracking fraud and its perpetrators continues to vex both private and public organizations. Clearly, advancements in information technology have made it possible to capture transaction data at the most granular level. For instance, in the retail trade alone, transmissions of up to 500 megabytes daily between individual point-of-sale sites and their data centers are typical.2 Logically, such detail should result in greater transparency and greater capacity to fight fraud. Yet, the sheer volume of data that organizations now maintain, pulled from so many sources and stored across a range of locations has made the same organizations more vulnerable.3 More points of entry amount to more opportunities for fraud. In its annual Global Fraud Report, The Economist found that 50% of all businesses surveyed acknowledged they were vulnerable to fraud; 35% of North American companies specifically cited IT complexity for increasing their exposure to risk. Accordingly, the application of data mining as a security measure A solution for real-time fraud detection has become increasingly germane to modern fraud detection. Historically, data mining as a means of identifying trends from raw Fraud saps hundreds of billions of dollars each year from the statistics can be traced back to the 1700s with the introduction of bottom line of industries such as banking, insurance, retail, Bayes’ theorem.

NoSQL DEFINITION: Next Generation Databases mostly addressing some of the points: being non-relational, distributed, open-source and horizontally scalable. The original intention has been modern web-scale databases. The movement began early 2009 and is growing rapidly. Often more characteristics apply such as: schema-free, easy replication support, simple API, eventually consistent / BASE (not ACID), a huge amount of data and more. So the misleading term "nosql" (the community now translates it mostly with "not only sql") should be seen as an alias to something like the definition above.
