Increasing Yield through Big DataAt the Cornerstone of Yield Increases is Information & Analytics

• PBs of NGS data• 10’s TBs of genomic data• TBs of yield data• Billions of genotyping dps

VolumeVariety Velocity

• Raw Sequence data• Unstructured sensor data• Poly-structured genomic data• Spatial data

• 10’s millions yield dps/day• 100’s million genotyping dps/day• TBs of NGS data/week

Increased Yield

What are the Challenges of managing a Hadoop Cluster?

Software Provisioning & Configuration Management• Automated & simplified installation/patch management • Streamlined cluster configuration

Enterprise –ready Tools• Enterprise grade monitoring & management capabilities• Integration with existing enterprise IT stack

Reporting & Monitoring• Proactive monitoring & alerting• Capacity planning

Support• Midwest Location• Lack of Hadoop expertise

7

With Cloudera Manager, you get…Intuitive Management Console

• Mission control style dashboard for entire cluster • Centralized management of entire Hadoop ecosystem• Treat the cluster as an appliance• Configuration change audit & validation

Integration with Enterprise IT Management Tools• Connect to Corporate LDAP• Cloudera Manager API integrates with existing BMC platform

Comprehensive Monitoring & Alerting• Proactive service level alerts• Summarized cluster level graphs & charts• Real-time series charts (MapReduce & HBase)

Historical Cluster Metrics/Reports• Capacity planning - Disk usage/ Slot Capacity

8

What are the Solutions?

Lowers the barrier for Hadoop administration• Do not need to rely on experts solely

• Reduces the number of administrators needed

Provides a “one-stop” holistic view• Easy to understand how the overall cluster is performing

Includes pre-tuned configuration with best practices• Get straight to solving the business problem

Integrates with Cloudera support• Leverage the real experts…not just for bugs

Why You Need Cloudera Manager?

Hadoop is more than a dozen services running across many machines• Hundreds of hardware components• Thousands of settings• Limitless permutations

Complexity

Hadoop is a system, not just a collection of parts• Everything is interrelated• Raw data about individual pieces is not enough• Must extract what’s important

Context

Managing Hadoop with multiple tools & manual process takes longer• Complicated, error-prone workflows• Longer issue resolution• Lack of consistent & repeatable processes

Efficiency
