This SearchStorage.com big data tutorial is designed to get data storage managers up to speed on the conversations shaping the decisions many IT managers are making about big data.

The divide between analytics and storage in the world of big data is narrowing as data storage managers find themselves tasked with designing and managing big data infrastructures. View the content in our big data tutorial to learn more about these high-transaction environments, new scale-out technologies, rising I/O demands and the latest news on Hadoop.
