how to take adavantage of hbase in the factory which is lack of computer

[Wang Song <7w...@gmail.com>]

 i'am new to hbase&hdaoop, recent we want to build Real-time data display
application for a factory.
the metadata is collected from other applications that are alreay in use.
we should analysis the data do some
count to make some chart-view for customer.
 but, if the factory doesnot have enough computers to set up hbase+hadoop
cluster, and my team want start to learn and use
hbase+hadoop to prepared for future applications through this case.
thanks for any suggestions.
