SANTA CLARA, Calif., and
NEW YORK, Sept. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Hortonworks,
Inc. ® (NASDAQ: HDP), a leading innovator of open and
connected data platforms, will showcase its latest technology
solutions for streaming analytics, security, governance, and Apache
Spark at scale at Strata + Hadoop World. As customers increasingly
look to deploy cloud-based solutions, Hortonworks' connected data
architectures and mission-critical security, governance, and data
access innovations provide unparalleled integration across multiple
clouds and the data center.
According to The Forrester Wave™: Big Data Hadoop Cloud
Solutions, Q2 2016, "Hadoop in the cloud offers a new opportunity
to deliver next-generation insights quickly and economically —
insights that were previously limited to enterprises with the deep
pockets to fund an on-premises big data sandbox." Hortonworks helps
customers take advantage of this new opportunity by delivering a
connected data architecture that enables organizations to harness
the agility and elasticity of the cloud to power new workloads and
analytic applications. These tools derive insights from both
data-in-motion and data-at-rest while providing the always-on
security and governance services that today's enterprises need.
"To be successful in this new world of on-demand data
processing, enterprises must securely deliver data to the cloud and
data center workloads that need it while ensuring the security
policy and business metadata are available and enforced in a
consistent way," said Shaun
Connolly, vice president of corporate strategy, Hortonworks.
"Our connected data platforms fuel today's digital transformation
initiatives by enabling a new wave of predictive retail, factory
automation and connected everything applications that span data
center and cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure."
The Increased Role of Cloud in a Connected Data
Architecture
Hortonworks sees increased momentum for connected data platforms
adoption across its customer base and spanning all industries. As
an example, 55% of financial services companies and 75% of retail
companies in the U.S. Fortune 100 are Hortonworks
customers. Many of these customers are exploring cloud-based
deployments as part of a connected data platforms architecture.
According to a recent Forrester survey cited in its Wave report,
"About half of our respondents are increasing their cloud
deployments: 37% told us they plan to increase their investment in
big data cloud by 5% to 10%, while another 14% plan to increase it
by more than 10%."
Hortonworks is well-positioned to lead customers through the big
data, IoT, and cloud market trends through its connected data
architecture approach and has recently unveiled new enterprise
innovations in Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP®) 2.5 to
deliver on the security, governance, and access requirements for
connected data workloads.
These include:
- Dynamic Security and Governance to allow enterprises to
classify and assign metadata tags, which enable various access
policies to be enforced. These tools, when used in a layered
information security approach, improve enterprise-grade security
and governance for sensitive data across both data-center and cloud
infrastructure.
- Enhanced Streaming Analytics capabilities enable machine
learning and actionable intelligence in modern data
applications.
- Enterprise Apache Spark at Scale (Apache Spark 2.0 technical
preview) delivers agile analytic capabilities for data scientists
around the globe.
- Apache Hive with LLAP (technical preview) enables as fast as
sub-second SQL analytics on Hadoop to help ensure enhanced
performance for large data sets.
