Data leadership is a solid business strategy today and many companies have made strides towards adopting Hadoop, yet have trepidation in making the final leap. This report addresses considerations in adopting Hadoop, classifies the Hadoop ecosystem vendors, and provides selection criteria for elements of the Hadoop cluster.
