Big Data is increasingly becoming an integral part of technology deployment in most organizations. Minede�ciently, big data enables organizations to win over customers, drive competitive di�erentiation and pave the way for newer opportunities. Then what's keeping businesses from charging ahead and taking the lead? The answer is e�ective data interpretation and analysis to provide actionable recommendations.

While gathering the data is half the battle won, you have to be able to view all your data in a way that you can make sense of it. Acquiring the right skills for the job is your �rst step. An equally critical step is equipping these skilled employees – data scientists and analysts – with the right end computing devices to maximize the value of data visualization.

Attributes of a Good End User Computing Device for Data Visualization

Processing Capacity

Handling large volumes of data is no mean feat. End computing devices must not only have the capability to process such large volumes of data, but they must be able to do it fast. The ThinkCentre Tiny seems like a perfect fit in this scenario. With 8th Generation Intel® Core™ vPro™ processors and Intel® HD Graphics, the ThinkCentre Tiny can carry out intensive tasks like analyzing and visualizing big data much faster.

The ThinkCentre Tiny supports up to 3-4 independent displays in mosaic mode, ideal for data analysts to visualize big data and interpret it.
