Big data analytics involves the process of examining large volumes of diverse datasets to uncover correlations, hidden patterns, and other valuable insights.

The health sector manages vast quantities of complex, heterogeneous medical and clinical data. Applying big data analytics to health data holds significant potential for generating insights that can enhance healthcare delivery. However, the sheer scale of these datasets presents considerable challenges for analysis and practical application in clinical settings.

In this instructor-led, live training (delivered remotely), participants will learn how to perform big data analytics in the health domain by working through a series of hands-on, live lab exercises.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure big data analytics tools such as Hadoop MapReduce and Spark
• Understand the characteristics of medical data
• Apply big data techniques to manage medical data effectively
• Examine big data systems and algorithms within the context of health applications

Audience

• Developers
• Data Scientists

Course Format

• A blend of lecture, discussion, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice.

Apache Hadoop is the most popular framework for processing Big Data across clusters of servers. In this three-day course (with an optional fourth day), attendees will explore the business benefits and use cases for Hadoop and its ecosystem, learn how to plan cluster deployment and growth, and gain hands-on experience installing, maintaining, monitoring, troubleshooting and optimising Hadoop. Participants will also perform bulk data loads into clusters, become familiar with various Hadoop distributions, and practice installing and managing Hadoop ecosystem tools. The course concludes with a discussion on securing clusters using Kerberos.

“…The materials were very well prepared and covered thoroughly. The Lab was very helpful and well organised”

Apache Hadoop is the most widely used framework for processing Big Data across clusters of servers. This course introduces developers to the various components of the Hadoop ecosystem, including HDFS, MapReduce, Pig, Hive, and HBase.

Apache Hadoop is one of the most popular frameworks for processing Big Data across clusters of servers. This course explores data management in HDFS, along with advanced techniques in Pig, Hive, and HBase. These advanced programming skills will be particularly valuable for experienced Hadoop developers.

Audience: developers

Duration: three days

Format: lectures (50%) and hands-on labs (50%).

Audience:

This course is designed to demystify big data and Hadoop technology, demonstrating that it is accessible and straightforward to understand.

This instructor-led, live training in New Zealand (online or on-site) is tailored for system administrators who want to learn how to set up, deploy, and manage Hadoop clusters within their organisation.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Hadoop.
• Understand the four core components of the Hadoop ecosystem: HDFS, MapReduce, YARN, and Hadoop Common.
• Leverage the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to scale a cluster to hundreds or even thousands of nodes.
• Configure HDFS as the storage engine for on-premises Spark deployments.
• Set up Spark to interface with alternative storage solutions such as Amazon S3 and NoSQL database systems including Redis, Elasticsearch, Couchbase, Aerospike, and others.
• Perform key administrative tasks such as provisioning, managing, monitoring, and securing an Apache Hadoop cluster.

This course introduces HBase – a NoSQL store built on top of Hadoop. It is designed for developers who will use HBase to build applications, as well as administrators responsible for managing HBase clusters.

We will guide developers through HBase architecture, data modelling, and application development on HBase. The course also covers using MapReduce with HBase and explores key administrative topics, including performance optimisation. With a strong emphasis on practical learning, the course includes numerous hands-on lab exercises.

Duration : 3 days

Audience : Developers & Administrators
