And, with the increasing production of wind-generated energy, companies like Vestas can use all the savings they can get.

Vestas, a Danish wind turbine-maker, uses InfoSphere BigInsights, IBM's Hadoop-based big data solution, to build its database, drop query times, and increase revenue.

• Vestas gathers wind data from 79,000 sources, including 44,000 wind turbines

• Data queries take 15 minutes versus up to three weeks
