You don't have to be a data scientist to use big data — Tech News …

A majority of big data projects fail, and many others fall short of their objectives, due to the scarcity of personnel with data science skill sets, limited access to data and a lack of alignment between business and IT departments. There’s a better way.

In a live webinar on July 2, the CTOs of Cloudera and Splunk will talk about how their companies are working together to make it easier for everyone in an organization to rapidly explore, analyze and visualize raw unstructured data in Hadoop. You don’t need a Ph.D. in math or computer science to get started and be successful in quickly turning raw big data into refined business insights.

Hunk: Splunk Analytics for Hadoop and NoSQL Data Stores complements Cloudera CDH by providing interactive-search-based visualizations on Hadoop data. With Hunk you can detect patterns and find anomalies across terabytes or petabytes of raw data in Hadoop without specialized skills, fixed schemas or months of development.

Register for the live webinar on July 23 today.
