While 80% of data might be unstructured, most enterprises' core business data resides in multi-terabyte databases like DB2 for z/OS. Thus, System z has become pivotal to the success of big data. System z's ability to scale to meet unexpected workloads, protect and govern data like no other platform, record breaking database performance, productive tools, predictive analytics and accelerators make it the logical place to start your successful big data project.
By expanding the types of data sets used by the analytics and decision engines on the System z platform to include the potentially vast amounts of differently structured data, organizations can create a powerful and cost-effective big data project.
Since System z is commonly used to run data warehouse functions and transaction and business analytics, it offers an optimal consolidation platform for a big data project.
