The ability to build sophisticated Big Data Applications using traditional technologies is difficult if not impossible. Information doesn’t always conform to pre-defined data models. It may take weeks to add attributes to data. Queries may need to be optimized ahead of time. Data analysis should be available in real-time with no latency. MarkLogic enables the aggregation of seemingly unrelated and disparate sources of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured information allowing organizations to gain new insights and drive faster, improved decision making.
Purpose
Exploit heterogeneous information and leverage Big Data analytics to discover trends and patterns.
Challenges
- Unanticipated new information
- Constantly evolving media formats and data transformations
- Pre-defining queries up front and data modeling
Key MarkLogic Advantages
- Load information “as is” without need to define data model upfront
- Index and search on anything that has been loaded without knowing questions ahead of time
- Update and access information in real-time
