Watch: Hadoop vs. Oracle Exadata

Every data platform has its value, and deciding which one will work best for your big data objectives can be tricky—Alex Gorbachev, Oracle ACE Director, Cloudera Champion of Big Data, and Chief Technology Officer at Pythian, has recorded a series of videos comparing the various big data platforms and presents use cases to help you identify which ones will best suit your needs.

“Obviously there’s a big difference in cost,” Alex explains. “However, you would require significantly more engineering effort invested in Hadoop—so it’s a matter of scale when a solution like Hadoop becomes cost efficient.” Learn more key differentiators by watching Alex’s video Hadoop vs. Oracle Exadata.
