This hands-on Introduction to Big Data training provides a unique approach to help you act on data for real business gain. The focus is not on what a tool can do, but on what you can do with the output from the tool. By integrating Big Data training with your data science training you gain the skills you need to store, manage, process, and analyze massive amounts of structured and unstructured data to extract meaningful insights.

Attend this Introduction to Big Data in one of three formats - live, instructor-led, on-demand or a blended on-demand/instructor-led version.

Introduction to Big Data Training FAQs

Big data is a term used to define data sets that have the potential to rapidly grow so large that they become unmanageable. The Big Data movement includes new tools and ways of storing information that allow efficient processing and analysis for informed business decision-making.

Understanding how to work with big data can help you glean useful insights from large amounts of data, which can help you and your organization make better business decisions.

Big data refers to the data set that has huge, and growing, volume that can quickly become unwieldy. Machine learning is a subsection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can help you extract value from big data to solve problems.

Working knowledge of the Microsoft Windows platform and basic database concepts.

Typical job roles include: Project and IT Managers, Database Administrators & Data Architects, Developers & SQL Developers, Data Scientists & Business Intelligence.

Data science is about obtaining insights from data using methods from several disciplines like statistics, linear algebra, differential equations, machine learning, etc. Many of the activities in data science involve large amounts of data, especially for training models. Some will use data that cannot be efficiently stored in a relational fashion; unstructured data. Often data needs to be processed and conclusions reached extremely quickly. These requirements for large volume, variety and velocity create an overlap between big data, how to store, secure, manage and access the data, and data science, how best to utilize the data in order to draw conclusions and gain insights from it.

Schedules are busy, but big data training online makes it easy to level-up your career. If you need Big Data online training, we’ve got you covered. Our AnyWare course delivery option gives you the advantages of a live classroom right from the comfort of your computer screen – no matter where you are.
