EMC® Corporation says that EMC Isilon scale-out NAS with HDFS, combined with EMC Greenplum HD, delivers powerful data analytics on a flexible, highly-scalable and efficient storage platform. This new enterprise-ready solution combines scale-out NAS data storage and Hadoop analytics capabilities with services, training and certification, and customer support from a single vendor, ensuring a more seamless user experience. With this solution, EMC eliminates CIOs’ need to spend valuable time investigating and integrating products from multiple vendors.
As the amount of unstructured data in the enterprise grows, companies require an efficient and scalable storage system to help them manage growth, and a powerful analytics tool to derive valuable information from this data. EMC Isilon scale-out NAS with native HDFS provides Hadoop users with built-in access to a shared storage infrastructure thereby bridging the gap between the innovative powers of Big Data Hadoop and mission critical enterprise IT analytics.
EMC Isilon scale-out NAS, now integrated with the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) protocol, provides customers with a solution for accelerating enterprise-wide deployment of Apache-based Hadoop. Up to now, early adopters of Hadoop have relied on makeshift storage infrastructures not optimized for Big Data exploration, inhibiting the shared data access critical to robust analysis, and preventing wide adoption of Hadoop in the enterprise. EMC Isilon, with native HDFS, removes the integration complexities of disparate open source components and hardware, and offers a comprehensive, enterprise-ready storage solution to protect, manage, and share data in a Hadoop environment.
EMC Isilon is the first and only scale-out NAS storage platform that integrates native HDFS as a protocol, providing all Hadoop users with built-in access to enterprise data protection, industry leading storage efficiency and accelerated data movement over a wide array of industry standard protocols (NFS, CIFS, FTP, HTTP). Isilon’s integration of HDFS also eliminates the single point of failure inherent with traditional open-source Apache Hadoop. This integration lets customers use the Apache-based Hadoop distribution of their choice and allows them to expand and increase their adoption of Hadoop in enterprise-wide deployments.
EMC builds on its innovation in data storage and analytics to deliver the only end-to-end Hadoop solution, offering enterprises planning, deployment, training and certification, and customer support services to assist customers moving to Hadoop environments. EMC Global Services Big Data Advisory Service helps customers identify business opportunity and build a comprehensive roadmap to apply Big Data to their enterprises. EMC services professionals can configure and integrate EMC Greenplum and EMC Isilon platforms into users’ environments, accelerating time to value and reducing risk. EMC Data Science and Big Data Analytics “open” training and certification builds customers’ IT staff data analytics knowledge and skills with a particular focus on opportunities and challenges presented by Big Data.
By combining the scalability and simplicity of Isilon scale-out NAS storage with the leading-edge analytics tools of Greenplum HD, EMC delivers the first and only end-to-end Hadoop solution in the industry that is ready for deployment in business critical enterprise IT environments.
