      I fully agree with the author of the article. It’s a pity that I didn’t find this article earlier, it will be useful to me. But, fortunately, I was prompted by Sumatosoft, which offers services for working with big data. They have developed and implemented suitable tools for data processing and analytics.

      Great post. Quite interesting to read. I work in IT company and we use Qubole application for different analysis. It provides a lot of useful information for our department!

      Hi. I know information that can help companies large and small get more out of big data, check out https://www.oxagile.com/competence/big-data/ coming into their systems. This detailed guide to big data for business explains what it is, its business benefits, the challenges it poses, and tips on how to use it effectively. You’ll also find examples of big data use cases and an overview of big data technology on the same site.

      I agree with that article. However, when you are selecting a hosting service for your data backups and storage, you can’t neglect security facts. I use android vps all the time because I have to make websites for both desktops and smartphones. So any mistake will be rather costly for me. Therefore, I recommend that you do the same.
