A Hadoop cluster on your desktop Learning about and working with distributed technologies can be quite a hassle. At BigBoards, we built a solution that takes the pain out of infrastructure and operations. In a short presentation, we'll highlight the background of startup and demo our Hex with specific use case studies. Highlighting the value of Hex as a learning platform, expanding the storage capacity for conducting advanced analytics, and growing a company from the ground up.
