Digital Reasoning Forges Ahead With New Select Partner Program
July 10, 2011
Digital Reasoning has solidified its reputation thanks to its data analytics solutions which help companies dig deep into their data and really get the most from their resources. According to the Red Javelin Communications press release “Digital Reasoning Introduces Select Partner Program for Big Data Analytics” Digital Reasoning recently announced the formation of a new Select Partner Program for technology partners. “The program has been created to support the growing ecosystem of leading technology vendors building the next generation of analytic solutions for Big Data.” Digital Reasoning hopes to integrate its Synthesys business intelligence platform in not only commercial enterprises but also the federal government’s intelligence sectors.
Data Analytics is a way of life for companies such a Cloudera, DataStax and Fetch Technologies and they make-up the initial member lineup for the Select Partner Program. Cloudera provides clients with the valuable Apache Hadoop based data management software, Cloudera Distribution which is a commercial distribution of Hadoop platform. Apache Hadoop is an open-source platform designed to efficiently analyze both structured and complex data. Many companies use Hadoop because of its ability to handle different data sets, the flexibility to add or remove servers and its capability to detect errors or problems and fix them simultaneously while continuing to process data. According to the Cloudera Web Site, Cloudera Distribution “integrates the most popular projects related to Hadoop into a single package, which is run through a suite of rigorous tests to ensure reliability during production.”
Digital Reasoning’s latest version of its popular intelligence platform Synthesys will be fully integrated with Cloudera’s Distribution, specifically Apache Hadoop (CDH3) and HBase. According to the Marketwire.com article “Cloudera and Digital Reasoning Partner to Provide Complex Data Analytics for Government Intelligence and Enterprise Markets” this new integration will allow “Digital Reasoning to achieve extreme scale capabilities and provide complex data analytics to government and commercial markets.”
DataStax provides another valuable open source program, called Apache Cassandra. DataStax is the commercial leader for this open-source platform which allows customers to build, deploy and operate high volume real time operations across various servers, databases, computers etc without interruption. Fetch Technologies brings another important piece to the puzzle with its real time technology-based solutions. The technology allows companies to not only access their data but also compile it while accessing real-time Web data. Clients can access valuable websites and get important information such as data analysis.
Though each company’s products have some similarities they each bring something different and valuable to the Data Analytics table. According to a statement from the CEO of Digital Reasoning Time Estes, “We strongly believe that working with the best-in-class partners is the ideal way to help customers solve their Big Data analytic challenges.” Digital Reasoning understands the power of team work and is extremely optimistic about the partnerships. Proof the company believes “there is power is numbers.”
A happy quack for the Digital Reasoning team.
