EMC Drives Evolution of Big Data Analytics and Business Agility with
Breakthrough Greenplum Unified Analytics Platform Delivers Game-Changing Combination of a Relational Database with Hadoop
Processing and a Social Network for Collaboration Among Data Science
Teams News Summary: * EMC® Corporation (NYSE:EMC) today announced the industry’s
next-generation platform to support Big Data analytics – the EMC
Greenplum™ Unified Analytics Platform
(http://www.greenplum.com/products/greenplum-uap)(UAP), combining
co-processing of structured and unstructured data with a productivity
engine and social network that shatters current barriers and enables
collaboration among data science teams.
* The new EMC Greenplum UAP
(http://www.greenplum.com/products/greenplum-uap) fuses three
Greenplum products into the industry’s only unified offering to
support Big Data analytics: 1) the award-winning EMC Greenplum database
for structured data; 2) the enterprise Hadoop offering EMC Greenplum HD,
for the analysis and processing of unstructured data; and 3) EMC
Greenplum Chorus™, which acts as a productivity engine and social
network for data science teams.
* EMC Greenplum Chorus (http://www.greenplum.com/products/chorus) opens
data science teams up to an entirely new way to collaborate across
dispersed geographies and with very large data sets. Through the Chorus
interface, users get ready access to tools, data and supporting
resources that enable enterprise-wide Big Data productivity.
Frictionless and rapid collaboration across data science teams helps to
ensure useful insights get back to the business in time to take the
right actions, thus increasing agility and innovation.
* Greenplum UAP is the foundation of a data analytics strategy that
enables organizations to be far more disciplined and proactive with
their most valuable asset, data. Across sectors, it helps organizations
achieve the operational and business agility (previously achieved by
Web-scale companies) required to compete effectively in the era of Big
Data. Full Story: HOPKINTON, Mass. – December 8, 2011 – EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC)
today unveiled the industry’s next-generation platform to support Big
Data analytics – the EMC Greenplum Unified Analytics Platform (UAP).
Greenplum UAP is a single, unified data analytics platform that is
extensible to other tools and uniquely able to support the analytics
process by facilitating the discovery and sharing of insights from Big
Data, in turn leading to greater business value than ever before. Like many top Web-scale companies before them, mainstream businesses
are starting to catch the Big Data analytics wave, recognizing data as
the key enabler of business agility – the ability to adapt rapidly,
proactively and cost efficiently to changes in the business environment.
Traditional business intelligence (BI) tools typically crunch numbers to
report what happened in the past and why. In the era of Big Data, new
technologies like the Greenplum UAP and the emerging discipline of data
science help organizations achieve an unprecedented degree of foresight
and business agility. Top Internet companies have set new standards for organizations that
want to reap the benefits of Big Data analytics by anticipating the
future through advanced or predictive analytics and then rapidly turning
that insight into action. The results include greater customer intimacy
and responsiveness, highly agile operations, faster time-to-market and
new value creation. Across sectors,companies are preparing to bring
these capabilities into their organizations and start realizing the
benefits of Big Data analytics. Why a Unified Platform? Due to technology limitations, many companies approach Big Data
analytics as a “departmental science project.” This prevents the
broader organization from taking advantage of all of their data, systems
and people – and its ab
ility to become more data-driven and
competitive. Leading organizations know that if they are going to keep
pace with the fast-evolving data landscape, they must quickly update
their business intelligence infrastructure with Big Data technologies
and embed analytics into the core of every key business process. Greenplum’s non-monolithic approach to Big Data analytics leverages
all of an organization’s data – structured and unstructured – and
includes next-generation tools to empower the data scientist and other
professionals who are increasingly part of the data science team. In
order to glean insight from massive volumes of data and take the right
actions, organizations need to do more than handle the co-processing of
structured and unstructured data. They also need to ensure that the
people who work with the data are able to iterate and collaborate on
datasets and be as productive as possible. EMC Greenplum Chorus meets
this need, offering a single interface for all an organization’s data
together with virtual databases for exploration and innovation, and
social collaboration for insight and analysis. By providing the foundation for organizations to become data driven and
develop a data-centric culture, Greenplum UAP helps organizations
realize the full promise of business agility in the era of Big Data.
Greenplum UAP will be available in the first quarter of calendar 2012. Supporting Quotes Mike Brown, Chief Technology Officer, comScore “We believe UAP will be transformational in the industry because it
will provide a unifying platform for powerful and agile analytics. The
seamless processing of the structured and unstructured data is critical
to driving rapid innovation that is required in today's environment. It
is the fusing of these multiple types of data at large scale that is
where the magic lies to drive innovation and agility in business
today.” Julie Lockner, Senior Analyst, Vice President Data Management,
Enterprise Strategy Group “EMC is leveraging Big Data analytics to drive business value for its
customers and prospects. With the introduction of the EMC Greenplum
Unified Analytics Platform, they are setting industry direction giving
data science teams a better way to accelerate the time to value for Big
Data. All the components necessary for a successful implementation are
available in Greenplum UAP. While everything is conveniently packaged in
a single platform, EMC is also providing open integration and APIs with
the customer’s tool vendor of choice. The beauty is that they are not
about locking customers into a single tool or technology stack. This,
combined with Greenplum Chorus, makes the company’s offer very
compelling.” Scott Yara, Senior Vice President of Products, Greenplum, a division of
EMC “There’s no mistaking it, the Big Data era has arrived. Everyone is
talking about it, everybody wants to do it but not everyone knows how.
We think that analytics are the key to success in the Big Data era. With
the introduction of the EMC Greenplum Unified Analytics Platform, EMC is
delivering the keys to helping organizations extract the most value out
of vast amounts of data and create more agile, data-savvy
businesses.” From our Partners:
