It delivers simple-to-use, robust administration and management capabilities, rich developer tools, built-in powerful analytic functions, and the latest open source components from Apache Hadoop and associated projects.
IBM PureData System for Hadoop offers simplicity, flexibility, and consumability in a single integrated system.
Simplicity
IBM PureData System for Hadoop incorporates an integrated management console for the entire system. Through this console, users and administrators can manage almost all aspects of the system; for example, monitoring status of MapReduce jobs, developing and performing analytics, setting user access privileges and permissions, monitoring hardware, data archiving capabilities, and a number of other capabilities.
Flexibility
IBM PureData System for Hadoop integrates with other IBM and third-party products to support advanced analytics and data archiving and transfer, which enables a greater overall information management strategy. It lets you combine traditional data warehouse analysis with dynamic insights from unstructured and semi-structured data by integrating with:
- IBM DB2
- IBM Netezza
- IBM PureData System for Analytics
- IBM PureData System for Operational Analytics
- IBM InfoSphere Streams
- Other popular enterprise data warehouse systems
Consumability
IBM PureData System for Hadoop offers a variety of capabilities to help users address their big data requirements. Key capabilities include:
- Text analytics development - provides an enhanced user experience for developing text analytics applications by delivering easy-to-use navigation of result views, sorting and filtering, and pattern discovery and progress reporting.
- Developer tools - outstanding built-in support for text analytics, support for local mode MapReduce development, easy deployment of applications, and automatic creation of Java™ Database Connectivity (JDBC) connections to Hadoop Hive data sources.
- Machine data analytics development - helps you to analyze various types of machine data, such as system logs, to gain business insights. It:
- Provides the capability to ingest, parse, and extract machine data.
- Analyzes the data to generate insights such as patterns and correlations.
- Provides faceted search capability to more easily find and navigate through large volumes of machine data.
- Supports visualization of the data and the results of the analysis.
- Social data analytics development - helps you to analyze various types of social media data to gain key insights about consumer sentiment and purchase intent. Then, this information can be leveraged to build applications for lead generation and brand management.
- BigSheets web console - a built-in, spreadsheet-like visualization tool to help users analyze data without MapReduce code. The new chart customization features help make it effortless to access and manipulate data the way you want. New sheets, macros, and readers make it possible to access more data and analyze it in new ways, giving you more control and improved browsing capabilities for Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Network File System (NFS) files. The addition of new application input parameter types helps make applications easy to run.
- Applications - a new application for Apache HBase helps make it easy for users to access HBase directly from the IBM PureData System for Hadoop web console and view results in BigSheets.
