“Big data is not easy.” We’ve all heard this time and time again yet organizations are racing for data driven solutions to help with cyber security, recommendation engines, customer 360, genome sequencing, IoT, and many other big data use cases. Yet when you engage with your IT support or data analyst team, you keep hearing how under-resourced they are to support your projects. What if there are pre-existing solutions that might work today? What if you are able to analyze data with existing software products that integrate with Cloudera Enterprise? What if you could set up visualizations to an existing Apache Impala (incubating) data store in under 10 minutes?

Over the past quarter, we have posted a number of partner demos on the Cloudera YouTube channel that illustrate different ways to analyze, ingest, and process different forms of data. On top of the video demos themselves, some even have links to hands-on demo environments that can provide you a test drive of their software without having to purchase or download anything.

Here is a summary of these demos, so you can find a solution that fits your big data needs.

Zoomdata Demo — Data Sharpening with Apache Impala (incubating)

This demo shows how to do data sharpening by using Zoomdata with Apache Impala (incubating). Learn how to sort, pivot, and get complete visualizations of data captured in Impala.
