Attunity and Hortonworks Announce Partnership to Simplify Big Data Integration with Apache Hadoop
Partnership will make Big Data available for analytics in both the cloud and enterprise data centers
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts and SUNNYVALE, California, March 5, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Attunity Ltd. (OTC BB: ATTUF.OB), a leading provider of real-time data integration
software, and Hortonworks, a leading commercial vendor promoting the development and
support of Apache Hadoop [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Hadoop ], jointly announce
today a partnership focused on the delivery of high-performance solutions to move Big Data
in and out of Apache Hadoop. The partnership is designed to facilitate making Big Data
available for use in business intelligence (BI) and analytics whether in the cloud or
across enterprise data centers.
Organizations worldwide are struggling to turn Big Data into actionable business
decisions. The planned combined solution provided by this partnership will enable
enterprises to overcome this challenge and gain a competitive advantage through the use of
BI and predictive analytics.
Specifically, the partnership will combine Hortonworks' Apache Hadoop expertise with
Attunity's data integration technology, to facilitate loading of massive amounts of
structured and unstructured data to the Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). The
Hortonworks Data Platform makes Apache Hadoop more robust and easier to install, manage
and use while providing an open and stable foundation for enterprises to build and deploy
Big Data solutions. Attunity's data integration solutions are designed to provide a quick,
simple and cost-effective means for moving large volumes of data from many sources into
the Hortonworks Data Platform to facilitate storing, processing and analyzing data in data
centers and in the cloud.
In a recent blog post, James Kobielus, Senior Analyst at Forrester Research, Inc.,
wrote: "Enterprise Hadoop deployments will expand at a rapid clip. The size of the
in-deployment clusters will almost certainly grow at least tenfold in 2012 as companies
roll new data sources, new analytic challenges, and new business applications into their
Hadoop initiatives."(1)
"As the volume of data continues to grow, organizations worldwide are quickly adopting
Hadoop to store, manage and process Big Data for use in analytics, Business Intelligence
(BI), and decision support," said Mitch Ferguson, Vice President of Business Development
at Hortonworks. "Since data integration is traditionally one of the most time-consuming
and challenging aspects in the Hadoop process, we are pleased to partner with Attunity.
Working together, we can accelerate the adoption of Apache Hadoop by making it easier to
deploy Big Data initiatives."
"Organizations that are able to leverage Big Data can become smarter about their
customers, operations and business environment," explains Itamar Ankorion, VP of Business
Development and Corporate Strategy at Attunity. "We believe that Attunity is uniquely
positioned to facilitate the integration of Big Data with Hadoop, leveraging our robust
portfolio of high-performance data integration and file transfer technologies. Our
partnership with Hortonworks helps ensure that enterprises can make use of their Big Data
and capitalize on the value of the Hadoop platform."
