RapidMiner Makes Self-Service Advanced Analytics Available for Hadoop

SAN JOSE, Calif. and BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 17 — RapidMiner, the industry’s easiest-to-use Modern Analytics platform, today announced significant updates to the most comprehensive advanced analytics offering on the market today. In a world where data lakes are often used solely as a repository for information, underutilized due to the state of the market and limits of technology, RapidMiner’s aggressive advances turn the tide for data scientists and business users alike to extract business value from Big Data.

Most analytics vendors extract data from Hadoop to build and score analytic models. Moving Big Data out of Hadoop reintroduces bottlenecks and increases complexity. Only a few analytics vendors push down analytics computation to Big Data in Hadoop. RapidMiner pushes the computation of more than 100 machine learning models directly to the data in the cluster, making it easy to deploy powerful predictive analytics into production inside Hadoop.

The new platform will be showcased in Booth #1421 at this week’s Strata + Hadoop World taking place through February 20 in San Jose, California. Attendees of the conference are encouraged to take the RapidMiner Challenge to build and deploy a machine learning model in-Hadoop in 10 minutes or less.

“With our pushdown Hadoop processing in RapidMiner Radoop, combined with our recent announcement of RapidMiner Streams, it’s easy to see that we are quickly turning dormant data lakes into money-making machines where enterprises can maximize the business value from their data,” said RapidMiner CEO and Co-founder Ingo Mierswa. “Predictive analytics is no longer a nice-to-have competitive advantage. It’s an absolute business necessity. Nobody else offers what RapidMiner does, and our latest release establishes us as the de facto modern analytics platform.”

“Many companies are still deterred by the complexity of building analytics applications on a complicated big data technology stack,” said Nik Rouda, senior analyst at ESG. “RapidMiner is differentiated both by offering a solution that is very deep and yet still user-friendly, attributes which will enable faster development in a wide range of environments.”

RapidMiner is the only code-free advanced analytics platform available commercially that can execute analytical processes in-memory, in-Hadoop, in-Cloud, in-Stream and in-database.
