The following diagram is a quick summary of the various layers and some of the key choices; we haven't included solutions from different vendors (unless they have become synonymous with the industry area itself), but there are a lot of good solutions available from them as well.

Making the right technology choices

In many aspects of technology, there are a number of models available to select the right tools and platforms; unfortunately, we do not have one for Big Data. In the absence of that, we will provide you with some factors to consider, which will help you choose the right platforms and tools:

Organizational policies around the usage of open source software: In this day and age, it is unlikely that any organization will have a formal policy to discourage or disable usage of open source software. However, there might be additional approvals or restrictions that you will have to consider in your planning.

Budget and funding: If you want to buy packaged tools, you need to budget for more licensing costs.

Programming skills in Big Data: Using open source, free tools and components requires extensive programming in the languages mentioned; take stock of your programming talent in Big Data.

Existing platforms and tools: If you have existing data warehousing and reporting and analytical tools, keep in mind their compatibility in the new environment you are building. You might be able to find Big Data adaptations of these tools for almost no cost.

Influence of technology vendors and consulting partners: If you are relying extensively on external help, they will try to sway you to their proprietary or preferred platforms, which might involve more cost and complexities but may not meet all your needs.
