Data Lake

IBM and Hortonworks partnership

IBM and Hortonworks Inc. are offering an enterprise-grade Hadoop distribution with data integration, federation and advanced querying tools, combining the best of Hortonworks Data Platform, Hortonworks Data Flow and Db2 Big SQL. This offers enterprise-grade scalability, security and governance, and an ability to federate data at rest and data in motion.

IBM and Hortonworks improve insight discovery, testing and ad hoc and near real-time queries, supporting predictive and prescriptive analytics.

Features

Unify data from more sources and formats

Secure and enterprise-ready, Apache Hadoop distribution powers near real-time applications and analytics — on premises or in the cloud. Deploy, integrate and analyze massive volumes of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data.

Federate and query virtually any data

The highly scalable, enterprise-grade SQL for Hadoop concurrently exploits Apache Hive, HBase and Spark, using a single query or database connection that reduces latency and supports ad hoc and complex queries.

Drive machine learning and advanced analytics

Create new analytic models quickly and easily in a collaborative environment. Build and train machine-learning models and prepare and analyze data in a flexible hybrid cloud environment.

Capabilities

Apache Hadoop

Manage large volumes and different types of data, with open-source Hadoop. Tap into unmatched performance, simplicity and standards compliance to use all data, regardless of where it resides.
