Customers Benefit from Deployment Choice of Azure IaaS or
Azure HDInsight
SAN JOSE, California,
June 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- DATAWORKS SUMMIT -- Hortonworks, Inc.® (NASDAQ:
HDP), a leading provider of global data management solutions, today
announced it has renewed and extended its long-standing
relationship with Microsoft to give enterprise customers greater
agility and flexibility when moving big data workloads to the
cloud. The collaboration now gives customers more choice as to
where their analytic and Internet of Things data workloads run.
Customers can deploy Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP),
Hortonworks DataFlow (HDF) and Hortonworks DataPlane Service (DPS)
products natively on Microsoft Azure infrastructure as a service
(IaaS) to extract value from data of all types. Additionally,
customers can also use Microsoft Azure HDInsight, a fully managed
service powered by Hortonworks Data Platform, which delivers Apache
Hadoop and Apache Spark.
According to IDC1, "IT buyers are shifting steadily
toward cloud-first strategies." That means customers need a simple,
fast and flexible path to run data workloads in the cloud to
accelerate the ability to uncover new business insights.
Hortonworks' global data management platforms enable organizations
to rapidly deploy modern data applications across hybrid data
architectures on-premises, in the cloud and out to the edge. When
combined with the global scale and agility of Azure, Hortonworks
enables organizations to manage the entire lifecycle of their data
within a cloud infrastructure.
Hortonworks and Microsoft have been pioneering cloud solutions
together for over six years through a strategic collaboration
spanning joint engineering and go-to-market motions, giving
customers the most flexible big data environments. Hortonworks and
Microsoft continue to invest and collaborate in the open source
community, which ultimately reduces vendor lock-in for customers.
Whether the customer wants to adopt a hybrid data architecture or
go all-in on cloud, they have choices with Hortonworks and
Microsoft teaming together on Azure IaaS and HDInsight
deployments.
"Our customers are increasingly adopting a hybrid data
architecture, as cloud deployments offer excellent use cases for
ephemeral analytic workloads," said Rob
Bearden, chief executive officer, Hortonworks. "With the
option to deploy HDP, HDF or DPS workloads on Azure IaaS, or use
HDInsight, customers can take whichever path to the cloud that fits
their business needs best. We are proud of our work with Microsoft
and the cloud solutions we've developed together that are driving
tremendous value for our joint customers."
"We are giving customers the most choice as to how they move
data workloads to the cloud, on Azure or Microsoft HDInsight for an
enterprise-grade managed service that makes it easier for end
users," said Rohan Kumar, corporate
vice president, Azure Data. "We look forward to continuing our
collaboration with Hortonworks to accelerate innovation in the
cloud."
