DataTorrent Teams with Pivotal

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Sept. 24 — DataTorrent, creator of the world’s first enterprise grade real-time stream processing platform on Apache Hadoop, today announced that it has joined the Pivotal One Partner Program and has certified DataTorrent RTS for Pivotal HD. Pivotal is added to a broad and deep list of DataTorrent RTS certified Hadoop, cloud, and ecosystem partners.

With human and machine-generated data increasingly outpacing the capabilities of traditional databases, organizations are unable to ingest or process the data created around their business in a timely fashion. Today’s existing batch processing is capable to a point, but organizations are still unable to make real-time business decisions to drive customized product and service offerings to attract new customers, retain existing customers, and increase revenue.

“Our Pivotal Big Data Suite helps enterprises discover insight from all their data so they can build applications that serve their customers in the context of who they are, where they are, and what they are doing in the moment,” said Milind Bhandarkar, Chief Scientist, Pivotal. “The certification of DataTorrent RTS on Pivotal HD provides our joint customers the ability to ingest, analyze, and act on huge amounts of streaming data in real-time as the data is generated.”

DataTorrent RTS allows organizations to harness the full potential of real-time big data and take action by enabling faster data ingestion, data processing, and more timely data insights in a high performance, scalable, highly available manner. Pivotal HD is the first true SQL processing engine for enterprise-ready Hadoop that ensures customers are able to harness and gain insight from the massive data being driven by new apps, systems, machines, and customer sources.

“Hadoop has enabled analytics of big data; however, the true value of data is unlocked when analytics can be done in real-time. Insights and actions lose value as data ages. Organizations want to be able to react to events as they happen and take action immediately,” said Phu Hoang, co-founder and CEO, DataTorrent. “The certification of DataTorrent RTS for Pivotal HD will bring real-time analytics further in to the enterprise, offering more customers the ability to run real-time data ingestion and analysis at scale.”
