– More than one-half (54%) of organizations surveyed are using or considering
Hadoop for large-scale data processing needs
– More than twice as many Hadoop users report being able to create new products
and services and enjoy costs savings beyond those using other platforms; over 82%
benefit from faster analyses and better utilization of computing resources
– 87% of Hadoop users are performing or planning new types of analyses with large

8. • “The bottom line is that Hadoop is the future of the
cloud EDW, and its footprint in companies’ core EDW
architectures is likely to keep growing throughout this
decade. “ James Kobelius, Forrester Research
• Companies will continue to use conventional BI for
mainstream business users to do ad hoc queries and
reports, but they will supplement that effort with a big-
data analytics environment optimized to handle a
torrent of unstructured data – which, of course, has
been part of the goal of enterprise data warehousing
for a long time.
