Big Data Warehouse?

Hello Everyone,

 

I am looking for a tool (platform?) that will allow me to store huge amounts of data. The data will be coming either from ERP systems or from various excel files (same structure of the data, just different values every month).

 

For instance, something that will be able to handle more than 100k "excel rows" (+40 columns) each month. I was reading about "Hadoop". Is this a good solution? I saw that I can import data to PowerBI from Hadoop, so that would be cool.

 

If anyone can help to find a good comparison of various "data warehouse" (because I think that this is the correct naming) tools + your personal experience and preference, I would be very grateful.

 

thanks!

@Jayendran  - I would have one more question. As I am still learning Big Data... With this tool, I should be able to load a huge set of data (from excel files, ERP systems, etc.) and then I should be able to access this data with Power Query/Power BI/Tableau/Excel.

 

Could you confirm if my understanding below is correct? Do you know what are the other similar tools that I could deep dive in?

 

thank you
