title: Choosing Hadoop solution for Big Data project - Pricing Options
body: <p>I have to use Hadoop for my research work and I am deciding for the best option to start with. So far I have end up to go with Cloudera. I've downloaded the <a href="http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/downloads/quickstart_vms/cdh-5-3-x.html" rel="nofollow">quick start VM</a>
  and started learning different <a href="http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/training/roles/developers.html" rel="nofollow">turorials</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The issue is that my system can't afford to run it and perform very slow and I think it might just stop working after I feed it with all the data and run other services.</p>
  
  <p>I was advised to go for a cloud service with 4 cluster node. Can someone please help me by providing the best option and estimated pricing to consider? 1 year plan might be enough to complete my research.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
