Infobright Partners with MapR

TORONTO, Ontario, Sept. 3 — Infobright, the database analytics platform for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced a partnership with MapR Technologies, provider of the top-ranked distribution for Apache Hadoop, to combine Infobright’s advanced M2M query capabilities with the MapR scalable Hadoop data platform. The deployment of these joint solutions will allow customers to harness the full value of their big data analytic implementations.

Infobright’s Enterprise Edition (IEE) drives effective analysis and provides capabilities for complex queries. When deployed with the MapR, IEE combines best-of-breed solutions for both the customer’s big data storage and analytics requirements. For example, the MapR Distribution supports open standards such as NFS for more redundancy when spreading data across many servers. In addition, the scalability and flexibility of the MapR platform makes expanding or removing data nodes much easier.

With several companies turning to MapR, many Infobright customers are utilizing Hadoop-based platforms alongside their IEE implementations. Driven by the common occurrence of mutual customers often using both solutions together, the two brands have engaged in a formal partnership to ensure optimal customer benefits over the long-term.

“Joining forces with MapR Technologies allows our customers to build a solid, sophisticated foundation for their analytical needs,” said Don DeLoach, Infobright CEO and President. “Our partnership is a direct result of customers’ consistent choice to implement the MapR platform alongside ours. We believe the MapR approach to Hadoop implementation is what our customers strive for to get the most out of their big data analytics experience when using Infobright.”

The MapR Distribution gives Infobright customers the dependability, performance, and ease of development and manageability through a truly enterprise-grade Hadoop platform. This differentiated solution enables large volumes of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data, as well as established batch queries, to be efficiently stored, managed and processed. The MapR Distribution provides Infobright customers with the higher level of quality and service they demand and have come to expect.

“Infobright offers a compelling solution to help customers make the most out of our Apache Hadoop-based platform,” said Jon Posnik, vice president of business development at MapR Technologies. “We look forward to working with Infobright and providing our joint customers with a highly effective solution that takes data analytics to the next level.”
