Planning for Big Data. The book then talks about Apache Hadoop, the flagship big data framework. It then looks at how enterprise vendors have used Hadoop - looking at EMC, IBM, Microsoft and Oracle to name a few. There is a separate chapter on Microsoft's plan for big data. Another chapter deals with the challenges of keeping big data in the cloud and talks about the leading cloud players of big data - Amazon, Google and Microsoft.

Data Marketplace comes next, which is an interesting concept in itself. It is followed by a chapter on NoSQL, an alternate mechanism to Relation Databases. Another chapter is devoted to how to convert big data to visualisation and why that matters. The final chapter summarizes the discussions in the earlier chapter, as well as gives an outlook into the future. The book is written with the lay man in mind and thus is easy to read. Parts of the book may be dated since it was written in 2012, but the concepts remain the same. All in all, a nice book to get an insight into big data. Big Data Now: 2012 Edition.
