Virtustream, Inc. today announced it has partnered with Metamarkets and Skilled Analysts to offer big data solutions in the cloud. These companies will provide enterprise customers with tailored, real-time analytics services, delivered on-demand from secure public, private and hybrid clouds.

The combination of Virtustream’s secure enterprise class cloud, Metamarkets’ Druid real-time analytics database and Skilled Analysts’ consulting services, enterprises now have access to tailored big data solutions that can be run on demand from any cloud – private, public or hybrid, with professional services as needed. Running Druid in the cloud simplifies setup and expedites deployment, which in turn improves time to value.

“As enterprise IT expands in size and complexity, organizations will adopt technologies to accelerate their business and identify new insights. Big data analytics delivered from our cloud give these enterprises flexible, real-time data solutions to make better business decisions,” said Rodney Rogers, chairman and CEO of Virtustream.

Powered by Virtustream µVM (micro-VM) technology, xStream offers a pay-as-you-go cloud service that only charges customers for the resources actually used.

Metamarkets created Druid, a real-time analytics database to operate in real-time and scale horizontally. Druid is suited for large-scale, real-time data analysis of massive volumes of business data.

To assist enterprises with the installation, configuration and use of big data tools, Skilled Analysts is offering data scientists with design and implementation expertise to establish and run Druid and Hadoop projects.

Metamarkets and Virtustream are sponsoring a Real-Time Data Rave on Wednesday, February 27, from 9:00 p.m. to midnight at the Hyatt Hotel Cypress room, as part of the O’Reilly Strata Conference.
