Description:

Organizations are being tasked with managing and analyzing growing volumes of streaming machine data in real time, particularly from the Internet of Things. The tools they use to accomplish these tasks need to be efficient, intuitive, and flexible. Technologies like Apache Kafka and Spark have tremendous potential, but how do they integrate with and enhance your organization’s current data analytics stack?

Join Eamon O'Neill as we demonstrate how HP Vertica, a leading SQL analytics database, natively integrates with Apache Kafkfa and Spark to ingest data streams and high-volume, in-memory data for large-scale machine learning and graph analytics.

In this webcast, you will understand how your organization can gain insight in seconds by learning how to do the following:

  • Stream data into Vertica just seconds after events occur
  • Apply built-in predictive and prescriptive analytics
  • Handle varying machine data formats with "schema on need"
