Hadoop Marries Two Big Data Companies
October 22, 2013
How long has it been since we discussed a new partnership based on big data? It has been a while, so let us bring to your attention “The Zementis Partnership With Karmasphere” via the Zementis Blog. Zementis is the developer of a predictive analytics engine for Hadoop users who need to harness data across its various incarnates such as Hive, Datameer, and Karmasphere. Zementis and Karmasphere have teamed up to combine their powers.
How will the two companies improve big data for their customers? The partnership is described as making the big data process faster, easier, and more cost-efficient:
“Zementis makes PMML-based models available as standard Hive User Defined Functions (UDF’s) that can be readily consumed and managed by users of the Karmasphere Workspace for Big Data Analytics. Practically speaking, it is now easier than ever to move models from your favorite model-building environment for scoring in Hadoop. If you use R, for example, simply save your models in PMML-format and use Zementis and Karmasphere to deploy them natively on Hadoop, across all your data and dimensions.”
The entire goal is to make an out-of-the-box analytics solution that can be deployed with little hassle and allow users to get to work faster. In other words, a custom solution that fits everyone. Great idea, but will it work? No two types of data are the same and individually tailored solutions are what is hot now.
