Datameer Creates Analytics Platform for Hadoop

October 31, 2011

Software development company Datameer has come up with another Hadoop business intelligence play to maintain the compounded 40 percent per year growth rate in corporate data volume, with the lion’s share of the growth in unstructured data, being produced and consumed.

There are current technical challenges that need to be addressed. Hadoop is moving out costly analytic databases and warehouses, in its push forward has given us yet another crazy acronym—ADBMS. Now Hadoop vendors keeping the Big Data market in a state of churn.

In the Datameer blog write up “Why I Am at Datameer” Brian Smith discusses a potential solution to this issue. He asserted:

Datameer is the first BI/Analytics platform built natively on Hadoop. On the surface it sounds interesting, but in practice the solution is game-changing. The Datameer Analytic Solution (DAS) connects business users directly with the entire volume and variety of their raw Hadoop data and makes it available for comprehensive analysis.

While Smith’s assertions are certainly interesting, we are not sure who is “first” in many of the assertions about the Big Data world. IBM is chugging away. Digital Reasoning is a player. There are, in fact, dozens of companies making claims and counter-claims. Perhaps in a dicey economy, marketing takes precedence over cold, hard facts?
