EMC Isilon Scale-Out NAS System with Native Hadoop Support
EMC Corporation has announced that EMC Isilon scale-out NAS with HDFS, combined with EMC Greenplum HD. This new enterprise-ready solution combines scale-out NAS data storage and Hadoop analytics capabilities with services, training and certification, and customer support from a single vendor, ensuring a more seamless user experience. With this solution, EMC eliminates CIOs' need to spend valuable time investigating and integrating products from multiple vendors.
EMC Isilon scale-out NAS with native HDFS provides Hadoop users with built-in access to a shared storage infrastructure thereby bridging the gap between the innovative powers of Big Data Hadoop and mission critical enterprise IT analytics.
EMC Isilon scale-out NAS, now integrated with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) protocol, provides customers with a solution for accelerating enterprise-wide deployment of Apache-based Hadoop. Up to now, early adopters of Hadoop have relied on makeshift storage infrastructures not optimized for Big Data exploration, inhibiting the shared data access critical to robust analysis, and preventing wide adoption of Hadoop in the enterprise. EMC Isilon, with native HDFS, removes the integration complexities of disparate open source components and hardware, and offers a comprehensive, enterprise-ready storage solution to protect, manage, and share data in a Hadoop environment.
Sam Grocott, VP, marketing, EMC Isilon said, "Hadoop will be a game-changer in unstructured data analytics once enterprise customers are convinced that adoption can simplify their infrastructure and architecture without compromising data security or management capabilities. We've taken the guesswork out of Hadoop deployment by bringing together the strengths of Isilon's enterprise scale-out NAS storage systems with the Hadoop ecosystem. With EMC Isilon, enterprises now have the type of archiving, replication and management capabilities their businesses rely on combined with the innovative analytics of EMC Greenplum and the training, services and support of EMC to make the most of their Hadoop deployments. "
Luke Lonergan, Chief Technology Officer, Greenplum, a Division of EMC said, "Companies are recognizing the need to co-process both structured and unstructured data. As a part of the EMC Greenplum Unified Analytics Platform (UAP), the integrated Isilon solution enables customers to plug Hadoop-derived insight directly into a structured data analytics workflow without moving the data. This improves collaboration and speeds data analytics for our customers, enabling them to uncover new insights quickly and efficiently to maintain their competitive edge."
