Big Data again, as this subject fascinates me. Looking into tools and technologies, I already posted about open source Apache Hadoop projects, HDFS and MapReduce.
IBM offers two editions of its InfoSphere BigInsights which are compatible with Apache Hadoop ecosystem for handling the big data.
The Basic Edition of InfoSphere BigInsight is a free download edition that includes a fully integrated and compatible version of Apache Hadoop and related components. This comes with a web based management console and the ability to integrate with IBM InfoSphere Warehouse, IBM Smart Analytics System and finally DB2 for Windows, Unix and Linux. Complete with Jaql, a SQL like query language for both structured and non-traditional data types.
The Enterprise Edition supports structured, semi-structured and non-structured data, and massive data scale out, while running on commonly available hardware. An enterprise class management including job management and security features including Active Director/LDAP authentication.
More details on editions and pricing is available from the IBM website.
