Big data support is becoming big business. Companies large and small are kicking the tires on big data projects and quickly realizing that scaling Hadoop clusters, NoSQL databases, and other big data technologies is hard to do. Much like the evolution of data center hosting, which blossomed when businesses realized their DIY efforts did not drive the anticipated ROI, managed big data services are following a similar path. The trick is knowing which projects should be outsourced now and finding the right service provider partners who can deliver immediate value while reducing administrative and infrastructure costs.
