The document discusses how Intel platforms can help enterprises make big data work for them by providing balanced systems with powerful compute, fast reliable storage, and high-throughput low latency networks. This allows enterprises to transform big data into actionable insights by running big data applications like Hadoop across server clusters and harnessing the power of big data through optimized hardware and networking solutions.

1. Intel Platform
and Big Data:
1
Making big data
work for you.

2. From data
comes
insight
New technologies are enabling
enterprises to transform
opportunity into reality by turning
big data into actionable insights.

3. Make big data
work for you
Balance drives system performance.
• Run big data applications like Hadoop* on clusters
of readily available hardware
• Deliver top performance with a system balanced
between compute, storage and network
components

4. Harness
the power
of big data
Powerful compute
capacity to collect,
manage, analyze and
process massive data
inflows.
44
Fast, reliable storage
that keeps pace with
big data volume and
velocity.
High-throughput, low
latency network
connections to feed
the cluster and
distribute the
workload.
COMPUTE STORAGE NETWORK

5. Infrastructure
that can scale
Large, distributed, data-intensive jobs
spread data processing and analytics
across clusters of servers.
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5 Family
• Maximizes Hadoop* performance
• Enables greater platform bandwidth
• High performance/ Low latency

Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel microprocessors. Performance
tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations and functions. Any
change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully
evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.

6. Big data needs big storage
Intel® Solid-State Drive
storage is efficient and
cost-effective enough
to capture and store
terabytes, if not
petabytes, of data.
• Higher performance, lower
latency than hard disk drives
• Moving quickly down the cost
curve
• Extended endurance and
reliability

Big solutions delivered at
high speed
10 Gigabit Ethernet
(GbE) networks allow
you to quickly import
large data sets for
processing in multiple
locations.
• Increased bandwidth
• Simplified infrastructure
• Cost-effective deployment
