Hadoop in Demand Yet Lacks Trained Professionals
April 24, 2013
Hadoop has been in the headlines lately for its major changes and how it is being integrated into more organizations. PR NewsWire takes a look at the open source database platform and what it predicts will happen for the company in the future in, “Global Hadoop Market 2012-2016-Lack Of Trained Professionals To Be A Major Challenge.” The article examines a recent TechNavio report that analyzes the Global Hadoop Market 2012-2016. TechNavio predicts Hadoop will grow at a CAGR 55.63%, mainly due to rise in big data analytics and the company offering Hadoop-as-a-service. While technology and service wise Hadoop is doing well, it faces a deficit in trained professionals who can do the work.
TechNavio said:
“’The demand for cost-effective Hadoop-based big data solutions is driving this market. Organizations understand the importance of big data solutions, but installing and hiring new professionals to deploy them is a costly affair. As a result, organizations and decision makers are adopting Hadoop-as-a-service (HDaaS) solutions that provide cost-effective big data management and analytics. HDaaS solutions offer the necessary hardware, software, and services required to support big data management at low subscription fees.’”
What seemed to be a straight shoot, Hadoop is facing a problem that might limit its growth and development. HaaS does take care of part of the problem, but someone still has to work with the software. Will Hadoop innovation shift to where the proficient professionals are? We think it is a strong possibility.
