MetaScale-s services include building and configuring Hadoop clusters; operating, managing and monitoring the cluster; integrating with other data management technologies; running data-cleansing and other data management projects; writing and developing MapReduce applications; and custom solution design and system integration.

The company-s Hadoop Center of Excellence runs Cloudera-s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH) and has worked closely with Cloudera in providing Hadoop support to Sears- companies for many years.
