Big Data Is Going Mainstream: Facebook, Yahoo!, eBay, Quantcast, and Many Others
Shawn Rogers has a short but compelling list of Big Data deployments in his article Big Data is Scaling BI and Analytics. This list also shows that even if there are some common components like Hadoop, there are no blueprints yet for dealing with Big Data.
-
Facebook: Hadoop analytic data warehouse, using HDFS to store more than 30 petabytes of data. Their Big Data stack is based only on open source solutions.
-
Quantcast: 3,000 core, 3,500 terabyte Hadoop deployment that processes more than a petabyte of raw data each day
-
University of Nebraska-Lincoln: 1.6 petabytes of physics data Hadoop cluster
-
Yahoo!: 100,000 CPUs in 40,000 computers, all running Hadoop. Also running a 12 terabyte MOLAP cube based on Tableau Software
-
eBay: has 3 separate analytics environments:
- 6PB data warehouse for structured data and SQL access
- 40PB deep analytics (Teradata)
- 20PB Hadoop system to support advanced analytic workload on unstructured data
