The “yes” answers surrounding the adoption of Big Data are numerous and impressive:
- Will Big Data help me deliver a superior customer experience? Yes!
- Will it support more informed decision-making? Yes!
- Will it lead to a more successful overall business? Yes!
- Will it replace conjecture (no matter how informed) with solid facts? Yes!
- Will it drive growth? Yes!
But when it comes to big data being able to ensure data security, the answer has not been as definitive. And that continues to be a reason for hesitation, especially in regulated industries and specifically for medium and small enterprises. Healthcare and financial institutions that are required to meet stringent government and industry regulations must know that all data is secure before embarking on their journey to Big Data. And that assurance has not been available … until now.
Secure enterprise-grade Hadoop with Cloudera and HPE? YES!!
HPE has teamed up with Cloudera to build and deliver a secure Hadoop environment for regulated industries. The full solution includes:
