Return on Investment
  • It has saved us quite a bit of time managing our catalog of clusters and keeping things organized.
  • Since we had a division we acquired running IBM Cloud, it was easy to get it running and try it out, but we found we prefer our Azure configuration better simply to keep our technology in alignment across corporate functions.
  • I definitely see some cost savings by separating out the storage and compute. It helps you start to put an appropriate price tag on certain instances of big data.

  • So as far as investment its just the time you need to give and done.
  • You can host Redash on your server and just pay as you go.
  • There isn't much investment but a lot of things will be solved around reporting and charting.
