DATAFLOW USE CASES
Data Movement
Optimize resource utilization by moving data
between data centers or between on-premises
infrastructure and cloud infrastructure
Optimize Log Collection & Analysis
Optimize log analytics solutions such as Splunk by
using DataFlow as a single platform to collect and
deliver multiple data sources and using HDP for
lower cost storage options
Gain key insights with Streaming Analytics
Accelerate big data ROI by analyzing streaming data
for patterns, comparing with ML models and
delivering actionable intelligence
Single view / 360° view of customer
Ingest, transform and combine customer data
from multiple sources into a single data view /
lake
Stream Processing
Combine multiple streams of data in real-time,
enrich the data and route it to different end
points based on rules
Capture IoT Data
Ingest sensor data from IoT devices and stream
it for further processing and comprehensive
analysis

Blockchain
https://hortonworks.com/article/the-advantages-of-blockchain-technology/
Blockchain ensures data objectivity—a single source of truth. Blockchain also
represents a security layer that ensures that data is encrypted in such a way that only
the people you want to can read your data. It makes it next to impossible for people to
corrupt or manipulate the data—or even gain wrongful access to it—because the
system raises an instant red flag when a problem occurs, and it uses a new, advanced
encryption method to secure the data.
