YarcDatas uRiKA Shows Big Data Is More Than Hadoop and Data Warehouses Published: 11 September 2012 Analyst(s): Carl Claunch The hype about big data is mostly on Hadoop or data warehouses, but big data involves a much wider and varied set of needs, practices and technologies. We offer recommendations for IT organizations seeking a solution to graph problems, including use of the uRiKA graph appliance. Impacts ■ IT organizations faced with previously infeasible graph-style discovery problems may succeed using a focused solution like uRiKA. ■ To address all their data requirements, IT organizations may be forced to duplicate data between systems such as uRiKA and transactional systems. Recommendations ■ Select candidates to place on uRiKA where processing is graph-oriented, the data is large- scale, and discovery of complex relationships is a core focus. ■ Validate the appropriateness of specialized systems and achievability of performance targets by proof-of-concept and pilot tests. ■ Carefully define the volume and performance requirements for processing data. ■ If requirements can be met using fewer machine types and the economics make sense, use the fewest platform types possible. Analysis To listen to the hype, you might think big data is only about Hadoop, but Gartner deems big data to comprise a wider, more varied set of needs, practices and technologies. The uRiKA graph appliance from YarcData, a new company spinoff of Cray, illustrates our point and is used here to highlight just one of the classes of big data problems that are poorly addressed by traditional systems. The Nature of Most Enterprise Data IT groups understood the interrelationships of most of their data — orders connect to customer information, product data, inventory facts and financial figures. IT experts use this knowledge to enable efficient acces
