SANTA CLARA, CA — (Marketwire) — 02/26/13 — — , provider of a database for Big Data that consistently delivers 90 percent cost savings, announced today that with the software. The solution provides faster, more flexible analytics using Standard SQL, BI Tools and MapReduce without the need to move data out of the Hadoop environment.
Hadoop is becoming increasingly attractive as a platform for large-scale, lower cost data management and analysis. As your data volumes grow at a rapid pace, you need to add storage and compute and so operationally, costs will continue to rise even if running on lower cost commodity hardware, which ultimately impacts your TCO. Using RainStor-s innovative database with the Intel Distribution for Apache Hadoop software, customers can drastically reduce the TCO by significantly reducing storage and at the same time improve the query and analytics performance using standard SQL access and MapReduce, Pig, Hive and more, giving you the most flexible enterprise analytics platform.
Key features of the RainStor Big Data Analytics on Hadoop solution include:
: Handling billions of records per day. As the data is being loaded at network speed, it is automatically compressed.
: 20-40X yielding 95+ percent reduction in the data footprint.
Rapidly search and analyze data using native SQL, as well as MapReduce for seamless integration with existing systems and tools, which enables you to perform analysis on Hadoop without the need to move data out to a data warehouse.
RainStor-s ability to reduce the storage and nodes across the Hadoop cluster gives customers significant cost savings and ease of scale to meet future requirements.
Applicable use-cases and solutions include:
With RainStor, customers can collect and store volumes of data generated at network. Examples include communications, network, clickstream, logs and financial data for ongoing query and analysis at significantly lower cost compared to traditional database and data warehouse technologies.
: Customers can move historical data into RainStor from any data warehouse, freeing up the data warehouse to perform analysis against the most current data, while continuously providing on-demand access to the historical set in RainStor.
