IT research agency Gartner predicts 70 percent of Hadoop deployments will fail to meet cost savings and revenue generation objectives by 2018 due to skills and integration challenges. With that in mind, the Dell | Cloudera | Syncsort Data Warehouse Optimization – ETL Offload Reference Architecture is designed, tested and validated for customers looking for a cost-effective, faster, more efficient solution for ETL workloads, Dell said. An efficiency test conducted by Dell proved that an entry-level technician created ETL jobs with the Dell | Cloudera | Syncsort solution 60 percent faster than an expert level senior engineer running the same scenario with do-it-yourself, open-source ETL solutions. Additionally, the entry-level technician was able to streamline ETL design by 53 percent, giving businesses the equivalent of four days back.
