Hadoop's Distributed Architecture Reduces Costs

Running advanced data analytics at scale requires massive compute power and storage. This traditionally involves setting up high-end proprietary hardware in expensive data centers and employing specialized personnel for management and maintenance. The total cost of ownership of such on-premise solutions grows tremendously with increasing data volumes. However, Hadoop provides an open-source software framework that can seamlessly combine the processing power and storage of commodity servers. Its decentralized architecture enables distributing parts of an application across hundreds or thousands of such industry-standard machines. As a result, companies can realize significant savings by adopting Hadoop over their traditional Big Data infrastructure. They also avoid vendor lock-ins since Hadoop is based on open-source projects like HDFS, YARN, and MapReduce.

The distributed quality of Hadoop further reduces costs by eliminating single points of failure. Should any machine or server fail, the system continues functioning using data mirrored on other nodes. Administration and resource provisioning also becomes simpler through its cluster management capabilities. As business needs change, organizations can flexibly scale their Hadoop deployment up or down by adding/removing nodes as per demand. Overall, Hadoop offers the most economical proposition for enterprises to derive insights from their trove of accumulated information over time. More and more firms are embracing it as their strategic platform to unlock value from Big Data in a cost-optimized manner.
