The document provides an overview of analyzing big data using IBM technologies. It discusses how big data is growing rapidly from various sources and the challenges of handling large volumes, varieties, velocities, and veracities of data. It then summarizes IBM's approach to big data analytics using their software stack and platforms like Hadoop and Power Systems. The future of analytics is discussed with the OpenPOWER Foundation and POWER8's Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) which allows custom hardware to participate directly in application memory spaces.
