Red Hat Ventures into Big Data Analytics
March 6, 2013
Red Hat is a well-known leader in open source technology, and has made a name for itself as one of the largest contributors to the Linux kernel. Red Hat has once again made headlines as it ventures into the world of Big Data and its newest trend, analytics. Datacenter Dynamics covers the story in their article, “Red Hat Brings Open-source to Big Data Analytics for Enterprises.”
“Red Hat announced its big data direction and solutions earlier this week, aiming at enterprise requirements for scalable and reliable infrastructure to run analytics workloads. The company also announced it would contribute the Red Hat Storage Hadoop plug-in to the ApacheTM Hadoop open-source community to turn Red Hat Storage into a Hadoop-compatible file system for big data requirements.”
Analytics may be a new buzzword, in the same way Big Data made the rounds last year. However, the fundamentals are still true. Enterprises need a way to give massive amounts of unstructured data some meaning, and many developers and companies are throwing their hat in that ring. LucidWorks is a leader that has been around for a long time, responding to the shifts in the market with open source solutions. Check out their LucidWorks Big Data for another alternative.
