HPs Big Data Blend
July 2, 2013
HP leverages several analytics acquisitions in one fell swoop, ZDNet reports in, “HP Launches Big Data Platform, Integrates Acquired Analytics Parts.” The company revealed the new platform, HAVEn, at its recent Discover conference in Las Vegas. The write-up states:
“HAVEn combines technologies from HP Autonomy, Vertica, ArcSight and Operations Management along with Hadoop. Most of those parts were acquired by HP in recent years. HP is betting that more than 700 connectors to HAVEn will help customers avoid lock-in via an open architecture. HP also has support for multiple virtualization technologies and optimized hardware. In other words, HP is selling you a big data stack from one vendor with the ability to integrate other analytical tools.
“The first big data effort built on HAVEn is HP Operations Analytics, which is a combination of IT operational data from tools from ArcSight and the company’s business service management products. Third party data sources will also be ingested. HP is rounding out the effort with analytics services.”
It sounds like HAVEn might be more than the sum of its parts; kudos to the company for a strategy well played. HP is giving potential customers a free taste with the Vertica Community Edition, which will analyze one terabyte of data gratis before entreating you to upgrade. It may well be worth checking out.
