Which layer is your Cup of Tea ??



 


Data Layers – (Storage)

Quantitative-Qualitative, Structured-Semi-Structured-Unstructured, Machine readable/Not readable, Digital-Analog, Personal-Public

Log files, Social Media data, Audio, Video, Word docs, PDFs, Medical Records

HDFS – Data File System, MongoDB – Document based Database, Amazon S3 – Data Buckets



Ingestion & Integration Layers – (Integration)


Data Warehouses

Pull Data from multiple sources

Bring some sort of uniformity

Stich, Blendo, Kafka….. etc are the tools


Data Processing Layer – (Fetching Information)


Platform that allows firing Queries On

Unstructured data

Semi Structured data

Structured data

Map Reduce – break a bigger problem into atomic problems; fetch atomic results & integrate

Document based DB – Document holds unstructured data

Spark, SQl, Redshift etc… are the tools


Analytics Layer – (Business Intelligence)

Using generated data in Decision Making

Query – Milliseconds Vs Analysis - Minutes

Patterns and Correlations can be established between random events in the world, which might not seem correlated at all

Testing hypotheses established

Causality can be understood

In other words –

Predictions can be made

Deep insights can be gained

Machine learning can be applied

Artificial Intelligence can be implemented

Excel and Crystal Reports fail here.

Tableau, Chartio, Looker etc are the tools

Does the Analysis changed / affected / impacted your Decision?
