Sharing
resources is the operative term here. This new analytics software is now
accessible from four different vendors.
Informatica
HParser Community Editionalready available for free download from the
Informatica siteis now freely available as part of the MapR distribution from
the MapR Website. Moreover, the MapR distribution is also available through the
EMC Greenplum MR Edition and as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System.
By
using MapR and Informatica in tandem, enterprises can perform high-performance
data integration, replication and messaging and get reports quickly. Together
the two products can move numerous terabytes per hour of transaction, interaction
and streaming data into MapR, in addition to parsing and processing a range of
structured and unstructured data natively in Hadoopall without scripting.
Informatica
HParser provides Hadoop developers with parsing capabilities to address data
sources that include logs, call data records, industry standards, documents,
and binary or hierarchical data.
Key
features of the combination of MapR and Informatica include:
- Bidirectional
data integration with Informatica PowerCenter and Informatica PowerExchange.
- Snapshot replication using Informatica FastClone.
- Data streaming using Informatica Ultra Messaging.
- Parallel parsing and transformation on MapR using Informatica HParser.
"As
the big data ecosystem continues to grow more holistic, data management
practices are needed to address the challenges of information volume, variety,
velocity and complexity," said Gartner Research Vice President Merv
Adrian.
"Coupling
advanced data management practices is the next step organizations need to take
as they build a platform that expands the breadth and depth of applications."
