Apache Hadoop quickly turns into a preferred solution for analytics of Big Data during the work with unstructured information. The organizations which look for a method more effectively to work at the fast changing market, understood that the analysis of Big Data gives competitive advantage. Processing of big arrays of unstructured and structured data on the basis of Hadoop using normal equipment cardinally changed analytics. Taking knowledge from the unstructured data generated by computers, the companies can make the correct decisions for increase in profit, improvement of service and cost reduction.

Unique additional functionality of EMC for Hadoop:
