Reviews / Votes
"As data grows and evolves, tapping its enormous potential is ultimately challenged by its very pervasiveness. This is because today's leading multinational enterprises are distributed, and therefore so is their data. Vivek Kale's book comprehensively overviews the capable yet complex spectrum of Big Data technologies that serves to empower organizations like yours to leverage this mammoth opportunity. Let this book guide your foray into Big Data."-Eric Siegel, Ph.D., Founder of Predictive Analytics World and Author of Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die - Revised and Updated
"Vivek's book is nothing less than a one-stop shop for managers who are looking to understand the issues surrounding big data adoption and for practitioners poised to implement big data solutions. Big Data Computing is an indispensable reference!"
-Jill Dyche, Vice President of Best Practices, SAS
