DePaul University's Big Data and NoSQL Program is designed for IT professionals whose companies are new to the Big Data environment. Big Data refers to the ever increasing amounts of unstructured data being generated by websites, sensors, and many other sources, along with transactional data from enterprise applications. The program has been designed to give learners a very comprehensive understanding of Big Data and NoSQL (commonly referred to as “Not Only SQL”), which is a new class of database management systems used for storing new types of data. The program will focus on the technologies and their implementation, but will also cover the business impact and guidelines for adoption. Two of the most popular NoSQL databases—MongoDB® and Apache Cassandra®—will be covered in detail.
