1 Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service The Visual Face of Big Data in Oracle Cloud Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service provides a set of end-to-end visual analytic capabilities that leverages the power of the Oracle Big Data Cloud Service and Apache Spark to turn raw data into business insight in minutes, without the need to learn specialist big data tools or rely only on highly skilled resources. The visual user interface empowers regular business analysts to find, explore, transform, blend and analyze data in the Oracle Big Data Cloud Service then easily share results. Figure 1. Big Data Discovery s End-to-End Capabilities K E Y B E N E F I T S Simple yet powerful visual analytics provide fast time to value Understand the potential of big data and know where to start Justify project investment and know when not to proceed Quickly transform data at massive scale Focus the majority of the effort on analytics instead of data preparation Unlock big data for everyone, not just highly skilled resources Remove the burden of deploying and maintaining complex big data architectures in-house A Unique Cloud Service for Big Data Discovery Leading organizations are disrupting their industries by unlocking commercial value in big data. They start by creating data labs, complete environments with easy access to big data to drive agile analytics experimentation and innovation. Today, organizations are more frequently leveraging cloud services to build their data labs. Hadoop based services that leverage HDFS and Apache Spark enable organizations to store, process and analyze vast amounts of new and existing data without the overhead of deploying and maintaining complex big data architectures and tools in-house. The Oracle Big Data Cloud Service provides a high-powered and secure environment that offers an industry leading foundation to host and power a data lab in the cloud. Now customers can extend the reach of the data lab to business users and analysts with Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service. This provides an intuitive and highly visual user interface for anyone to find, explore, transform, blend and analyze data at scale in the Oracle Big Data Cloud Service then easily share results. This greatly increases the volume and rate at which new insights from big data can be delivered by leveraging existing analytic talent and reducing the dependency on highly skilled and very scarce resources.

This greatly reduces the burden of administration while still offering the flexibility and freedom of unrivaled access to a secure set of big data cloud services. With Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service customers can enable more resources across the organization to get faster value from big data in the lab, increasing the pace of new discoveries and fueling innovation on a much broader scale. See the Potential in Big Data Justifying investment in a big data project is difficult without some sense of the return, but without knowing where data is or what's in the data, it's hard to estimate potential value. Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service solves this problem by providing rapid visual access to all the data in Oracle Big Data Cloud Service, so analysts can: Find relevant data fast using a rich interactive catalog of the data in Hadoop Filter through thousands of data sets using familiar search and guided navigation View data set summaries, annotations and recommendations for related data sets Load new data through self-service wizards Figure 2. Big Data Discovery s Interactive Data Set Catalog Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service provides a unique interface to help analysts quickly assess the potential in big data: Visualize all attributes by type to understand the quality and shape of the data Sort attributes by potential, so the most meaningful information is displayed first Use a scratch pad to combine attributes and expose initial patterns and correlations 2 THE VISUAL FACE OF BIG DATA ORACLE BIG DATA DISCOVERY CLOUD SERVICE

Getting the greatest value from the data can also mean enriching it even further, for example by exposing themes, entities and sentiment from text or adding geographic hierarchies to physical addresses. In today's big data landscape, transformation and enrichment are frequently handled upstream in other tools and by different resources, which can alter context and greatly increase the time it takes to achieve meaningful results.

4 Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service is purpose-built to address these challenges. Users transform and enrich data natively within the same product via a visual interface designed specifically for data wrangling and ensures no loss of context. Apache Spark behind the scenes powers the rapid transformation of data at scale. Anyone from business analysts to data scientists can: Wrangle data in Hadoop without moving it across different environments or tools Enrich data by inferring language and geographic hierarchies. Expose sentiment, entities and themes from raw text Leverage an extensive library of easy to use data transformations Build upon shared transformations and publish for reuse by other analysts Test transformation scripts on sample data in memory, preview results, undo or replay transformations then apply to the full data set at scale Unlock Big Data Discovery for Everyone Oracle Big Data Discovery Cloud Service opens up big data analytics to regular business analysts as well as data scientists, allowing everyone to spend much less time on preparation and much more time on analysis. It accelerates the analytic process by streamlining understanding, transforming and enriching big data, then leverages established best practices for interactive visualization and data discovery. This means anyone can: Drag and drop components to create interactive discovery dashboards with rich data visualizations and analytic summarizations Ask questions of the data using powerful keyword search and guided navigation Broaden perspectives or change the course of investigation by blending data sets together Build galleries of snapshots that tell big data stories, and drive collective discovery by easily sharing galleries, bookmarks and entire projects across teams Extend the reach and value of the data by publishing transformed data back into Hadoop for use in other products, services, and processes Figure 5.
