Big Data Implications for IT

As big data solutions

become more critical to

day-to-day decision

making, high

performance and

availability will become

table stakes

Performance

As big data grows,

IT will need to quickly

and cost-effectively

scale resources

Deployment Speed

Are we able to

scale as fast

as data?

Scalability

Solution price:

performance, operations

efficiencies, power

consumption, and

facilities footprint will

become more important

TCO

Hundreds or thousands

of servers and

switches will require

large numbers of

management tasks
