Big Data opportunities are huge, but so are the challenges.

Let our expert Big Data consultants help you on your journey and

help you get the best out of your Big Data investment

Customer and Business Insights

Tie together information across your business to get a complete view of what affects your customers, your business and your delivery. Include inputs like your CRM, logistics and finance systems with other related inputs such as weather, web and social media to gain a complete picture of how your business operates.

Data Archive

Store your historical business data in a way that is readily retrieved. Faster than tape, cheaper per GB than data warehouses.

Data Warehouse Augmentation

Ingest and process unstructured and log data, to pass to your data warehouse in a structured form.

Data Warehouse Offload

Move older data out of expensive data warehouses onto Optus Managed Big Data for accessible reporting at a reduced price

Trend and Predictive Analysis

Predict sales, production and delivery patterns from historic trend analysis.

Scalable

Unlike traditional data solutions that required large scale projects to upgrade, Hadoop can easily grow to meet your future data needs. Additional capacity can be easily added in hours not months and can be extended without limits.

Cost Effective

Storage using Hadoop-based solutions, costs a fraction of the costs of traditional data storage solutions. Organisations can avoid the effort of prioritising and discarding data that may have perceived lower value or be used less frequently.

Flexible

Hadoop can store all types of data beyond the traditional table based approach including text, emails, videos, images, documents, log files, you name it.

Secure and Reliable

All data in Hadoop is stored in triplicate which means data can be reliably stored without fear of data loss.

Efficient

Process vast amounts of data in a fraction of the time of traditional methods.

Big Data Discovery Workshop

In our one day workshop, we’ll separate the hype from reality around Big Data and show how Big Data can benefit your business. We’ll explain the Big Data / Hadoop ecosystem ,and show how it can increase customer and business insights and reduce costs.

We’ll then work with you to identify potential big data opportunities for your company, identify your data sources and work with you to understand their potential value. We’ll also give you practical tools and actionable advice on your first Big Data install; what to do, what to avoid, how to skill up your team and how to go from proof-of-concept to whole-of-business Big Data benefits.

Big Data Strategy

Our team of experienced consultants work with your business and IT teams to devise a Big Data Strategy. We will collaboratively work with you to:

 understand your business objectives

 understand the costs, resources and timeframes associated with a big data implementation

 perform an inventory of available data sources, highlighting areas where data may contain value

 perform an assessment of your IT environment to understand where the low hanging fruit is

The process lasts 4-8 weeks and at completion you will have:

 a strategy report outlining the data, it's value and how Big Data can help

 a roadmap based on your priorities and fastest time to gain insight from your investment

 the expected costs and resource requirements

The roadmap will outline how to achieve your Big Data objectives in a pragmatic, cost effective and achievable manner.

We manage your Big Data system so you can focus on

getting more insights

We’ll take care of Hadoop monitoring, security, patch and software updates, and performance– whether your Big Data system is in your data centre or in the Cloud.

Security

Your Hadoop install will be kept up to date with the latest Cloudera Hadoop install, including patch management and security monitoring.

Performance and Process Management

When you are a data-driven enterprise, you depend on reliable access to your big data installation. We’ll manage your Hadoop installation and monitor

performance to ensure it delivers. The 99.95% uptime is just part of the service; we allow you to allocate a percentage of your Big Data system resources to your teams, so that each team can run their big data analysis jobs without affecting other teams.

User and Data Access Management

Configure and segregate data access so that certain data sets are only accessible by individual staff members, teams and departments.

Gain insights faster and easier

Ingest data from a large range of sources, including flat files, log files and databases. Configure the data ingestion rules and frequencies and access the data using standard SQL interfaces.

Access your insights with your choice of BI tool, whether that be MicroStrategy, Pentaho, Cognos, Jaspersoft or even Excel.

Prepare an existing

Hadoop install for your

next challenge

Big Data Audit & Recommendations

As part of the Big Data Audit, we will perform an audit of your existing Hadoop installation and provide a list of recommendations to get your Big Data solution up to best practices in terms of architecture, performance, security, reliability and scalability.

You will receive an audit report with a list of recommendations to get your cluster up to the best practice and operating at optimal performance and reliability.

Robustness Consulting

Some big data implementations have grown out of a smaller project or have been set up as a proof of concept, and as a result are not configured for a full production reliability, security and performance.

Unico can take your existing solution and make it production-ready with stringent SLAs. This includes:

 High Availability cluster setup

 Alarms and performance monitoring

 Security and Auditing

 Meeting your organisations security requirements
