Hadoop as a Service (as offered by handful of niche vendors now) is a cloud
computing solution that makes medium and large-scale data processing
accessible, easy, fast and inexpensive.
In his session at Big Data Expo, Kumar Ramamurthy, Vice President and Chief
Technologist, EIM & Big Data, at Virtusa, will discuss how this is achieved

a wider Hadoop market soon and become the market leaders in driving business
adoption of Hadoop without the pains of today.
