In our previous big data blogs, a number of my Cisco associates have talked about the right infrastructure, the right sizing, the right integrated infrastructure management and the right provisioning and orchestration for your clusters. But, to gain the benefits of pervasive use of big data, you'll need to accelerate your big data deployments and make a seamless pivot of your "back of the data center" science experiment into the standard data center operational processes to speed delivery of the value of these new analytics workloads.
If you are using a "free" (hint: nothing's free), or open source workload scheduler, or even a solution that can manage day-to-day batch jobs, you may run into problems right off the bat. Limitations may come in the form of dependency management, calendaring, error recovery, role-based access control and SLA management.
And really, this is just the start of your needs for full-scale, enterprise-grade workload automation for Big Data environments! As the number of your mission-critical big data workloads increases, predictable execution and performance will become essential.
Lucky for you Cisco has exactly what you need!Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler (TES) helps organizations to operationalize Hadoop solutions by giving you enterprise-grade workload automation that cover:
In addition to these benefits, your organization will also obtain the following advantages:
Today, apart from the wide variety of adapters and agents that we offer, TES has support for the following Hadoop specific workflows making your job(s)-forgive the pun, that much easier:
You can read more about Cisco IT's use of Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler for their Big Data infrastructure here: Cisco IT Automates Workloads for Big Data Analytics Environments from Cisco Data Center. And for more on how Cisco IT uses Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) as the platform for Big Data, you can refer to this case study: How Cisco IT Built Big Data Platform to Transform Data Management.
But, better yet, why not give yourself the opportunity to hear about Cisco's entire big data infrastructure and solution story. Please join us for a webcast at 9 AM Pacific time on October 21stentitled 'Unlock Your Competitive Edge with Cisco Big Data and Analytics Solutions.'#UnlockBigData
