2. CTOlabs.com About This Presentation: Four areas of significant activity in Big Data solutions Top Federal Mission Needs for Big Data Five Exemplars of Big Data Solutions 2

3. CTOlabs.com Most active fed solution areas:  Federal integrators: Spending internal research and development funds to create prototypes and full solutions relevant to fed missions  DoD and IC agencies: Using Big Data approaches to solve “needle in the haystack” and “connect the dots” problems  National Labs: Bioinformatics solutions have been put in place by federal researchers  OMB and GSA: Ensuring sharing of lessons and solutions. Key exemplars around web search methods. Solutions inside government agencies and on citizen facing properties 3 Big Data solutions are already making a difference in government service to citizens.

4. CTOlabs.com Top Federal Mission Needs for Big Data  Financial fraud detection across large, rapidly changing data sets  Cyber Security: rapid real time analysis of all relevant data  Rapid return of geospatial data based on query  Location based push of data: Focused on emergency response  Real time return of relevant search: USA.gov is exemplar  Real time suggestion of topics: USA.gov is exemplar  Real time suggestion of correlations: DoD has many use cases  Bioinformatics: Human Genome  Bioinformatics: Patient location, treatment, outcomes 4 These needs must be met in an era of significant downward pressure on budgets. Scalable systems with well thought out governance & extensive automation are key.

5. CTOlabs.com Five Exemplars  USA Search: Best in class hosted search services over more than 400 gov sites. Great use of CDH3.  GCE Federal: Cloud-based financial management solutions. Apache Hadoop, Hbase, Lucene for Dept of Labor.  PNNL Bioinformatics: Leading researcher Dr. Taylor of PNNL is advancing understanding of health, biology, genetics and computing using Apache Hadoop/MapReduce/HBase.  SherpaSurfing: Use of CDH as a cybersecurity solution. Ingest packet capture in any format, analyze trends, find malware, alert.  US Department of State: Bureau of Counselor Affairs. Large data with important applications for citizen service and national security. 5 Each of these are making a difference for government missions right now.

10. USA Search  Program of General Services Administration’s (GSA) Office of Citizen Services and Information Technologies.  Hosted search services for USA.gov and over 500 other government websites.  Solves big data challenges with open source capabilities.  CDH3 since fall 2010. HDFS, Hadoop and Hive used in cost effective, resilient, scalable solution.  Search Results. Search Suggestions. Trend analysis. Analytic dashboards. 10 Bottom Line: USA Search brings the best of the open source community to multiple government missions, including direct citizen support
