Use Cases at the Intersection of Apache Spark/Hadoop and IBM z Analytics

Use Cases at the Intersection of Apache Spark/Hadoop and IBM z Analytics
Abstract: This presentation provides insight into sample integration points and use case scenarios that are derived from client engagements. We highlight integration options between DB2 for z/OS and the DB2 Analytics Accelerator with IBM BigInsights for Apache Hadoop and Spark. We demonstrate how to complement traditional z Analytics with Big Data analytics, e.g. by using SQL on open source (Big SQL and Spark SQL) and text analytics, and describe the integration of key Spark components into a z Analytics environment with DB2 for z/OS. We introduce opportunities for data scientists, application developers, and business analytics leaders as we reveal how the z Systems analytics portfolio is leveraging and integrating open source technology now.
