Case Study: a leading US educational institution achieves a cost-effective on-premises Hadoop lab with ScienceSoft

a US leading educational institution deploys an on-premises Hadoop lab with ScienceSoft for hands-on training in 10+ big data technologies

ScienceSoft was commissioned by a US leading educational institution, one of the largest of its kind, to address the high costs of its cloud-based Hadoop training lab. The institution needed a cost-effective, on-premises solution to provide hands-on big data training for its data analyst and data professional students.

The solution involved ScienceSoft deploying and configuring an on-premises Hortonworks Data Platform, including core Hadoop and a suite of Apache technologies like Hive, Spark, and Pig. ScienceSoft provided remote and onsite deployment, detailed training, and created comprehensive guides for the staff. As a result, the institution acquired a smoothly functioning, on-premises Hadoop lab that serves as a valuable source of practical knowledge, with the staff quickly understanding and ready to use all components effectively.
