Objective of the Programme
Organizations and enterprises generate and store massive amounts of data through various software applications, which are to be analyzed for key insight to make informed decisions. This is a still a challenging process. Traditional relational data storage appears to be ill-suited for these large data sets. Alternative distributed, cloud-based approaches have emerged to handle these huge volume of data sets. In such scenario it is necessary to learn the Big Data, cloud computing and Frameworks such as the Hadoop including the Hadoop Distributed File System
and MapReduce framework at its core, allows for distributed processing of large data sets across clusters.
This FDP provides a platform to learn various tools, technique and applications in big data analytics and cloud computing. This program also focuses on exploring various research opportunities and challenges in these areas.
