DataBench

Evidence-Based Big Data Benchmarking to Improve Business Performance

H2020 Project, 2018–2020

DataBench aims to design a benchmarking process to help European organisations develop Big Data technologies (BDTs) to constantly improve their performance by measuring their technology development against a set of business parameters. DataBench investigates existing Big Data benchmarking tools and projects, identifies the main gaps and provides a robust set of metrics to compare the technical results from those tools. The project addresses the gap in the current benchmarking community’s activities by providing certifiable benchmarks and evaluation schemes for BDT performance.

The DataBench framework comprises a complete set of metrics for BDT assessment, including:

• Multiple analysis to assess the European and industrial significance of the BDT examined by the project
• The DataBench Toolbox to connect and evaluate external initiatives
• The DataBench Handbook to provide guidelines on how to use the project’s results, framework and toolbox, with a description of metrics implementation and benchmarks.
