Cloudian HyperStore 5.1 Offers Scalable Storage for Internet of Things

Cloudian, Inc. announced availability of HyperStore 5.1 software.

HyperStore 5.1 is an enhanced Amazon S3-compliant, plug-and-play hybrid cloud software solution that features Apache Hadoop integration. Enterprises can transform big data into smart data by running Hadoop analytics on HyperStore software and appliances. This in-place analytics, with no need to offload data to other systems for Hadoop analyses, enables customers to derive meaningful business intelligence from their data quickly, efficiently and economically.

“Analytics is the foundation of smart data. To store data on a smart system like HyperStore, and run Hadoop on top of it, offers huge business advantages to enterprises in terms of scalability, efficiency and cost savings,” said Paul Turner, CMO, Cloudian. “From the financial industry to medical research, there is no shortage of markets that will benefit from turning big data into smart data in pursuit of realizing market- and revenue-shifting insights.“

“The ability to analyze big data right in the storage bank is a game changer for organizations as they move closer to realizing the potential of the Internet of Things. This is what everyone wants to do but it has been too complicated and cost-prohibitive, until now,” said Ashish Nadkarni, research director storage systems and software, IDC Research. “Presenting the Hadoop community with an attractive option for fast, flexible, in-place big data analytics, Cloudian HyperStore 5.1 is a leading massively scalable, smart data system, capable of yielding high value insights without the high price tag.“

Cloudian announced it has joined the Hortonworks Technology Partner Program and has completed testing, thereby achieving Hortonworks’ Certification. By achieving certification, customers now have access to Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), the 100% open source data management platform for Hadoop. HDP offers a stable and reliable Hadoop distribution, further extending the reach of Cloudian’s enterprise-grade hybrid cloud solution.

“We are pleased to welcome Cloudian to the Apache Hadoop community and look forward to working with them to help strengthen Hadoop’s role as the foundation of next-generation architecture,” said John Kreisa, VP strategic marketing, Hortonworks, Inc. “HyperStore 5.1 helps further Hadoop and its YARN architecture for the enterprise, offering the open source technology community robust, best-in-class storage with built-in, real time data analytics.”

In addition to Hadoop integration and 100% S3 compliance, HyperStore 5.1 incorporates  features and enhancements to address the requirements of enterprise organizations and workloads.
