DataHub Joins the Hortonworks Systems Integrator Partner Program

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwired - Nov 5, 2014) - DataHub, The Data Experts, today announced that it has joined the Hortonworks® Systems Integrator Partner Program and will be delivering big data solutions powered by Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP). Hortonworks is the leading contributor to and provider of Apache™ Hadoop®. DataHub's customers can now benefit from easier integration with Hadoop with DataHub's Decision Services to enable better business decisions.

By joining the Hortonworks Systems Integrator Partner program, DataHub will work to enable and accelerate the deployment of a modern data architecture and integrating with HDP -- the industry's only 100-percent open source Hadoop distribution, explicitly architected, built, and tested for enterprise-grade deployments. DataHub's customers can now benefit from integration with Hadoop to enable scalability of structured and unstructured data to help them make more informed business decisions.

DataHubs's Decision Services will enable firms to quickly assess their data and create decision models to make better business decisions. With the integration of HDP, users can now be assured that their data will be mapped to their business requirements, which will maximize both their Hadoop investment and Return on Investment (ROI).

"Every organization today understands the importance of data as it relates to their business. Hadoop is allowing organizations to transform data unlike they have seen or could have imagined. However, moving to a Hadoop cluster requires a whole new approach to IT architecture and delivery models. Most IT organizations lack both the manpower and the expertise to plan and execute this shift," said Jim McDonough, DataHub's President. "We are introducing DataHub Decision Services to help identify business requirements and get our customers on a path to pursue their Hadoop journey."

HDP was built by the core architects, builders and operators of Apache Hadoop and includes all of the necessary components to manage a cluster at scale and uncover business insights from existing and new big data sources. With a YARN-based architecture, HDP enables multiple workloads, applications and processing engines across single clusters with optimal efficiency. A reliable, secure and multi-use enterprise data platform, HDP is an important component of the modern data architecture, helping organizations mine, process and analyze large batches of unstructured data sets to make more informed business decisions.

"We welcome DataHub to the Hortonworks Systems Integrator Partner Program and look forward to working with them to provide data-driven applications powered by HDP for their customers," said John Kreisa, vice president of strategic marketing at Hortonworks. "DataHub's long-standing experience delivering high-value enterprise solutions creates a natural expansion to add Hadoop integration services as companies of all sizes are adopting Hadoop to support their big data projects."
