Full Story:
EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC) today
announced the Federation Business Data Lake. The fully engineered
solution includes leading storage and Big Data analytics
technologies from EMC Information Infrastructure, Pivotal, and
VMware to help customers leverage the new world of Big Data,
thereby clearing the path for new insights and disruptive
differentiation.
Implemented in as little as seven days1, the
Federation Business Data Lake greatly simplifies the massively
complex task of building a Data Lake and is designed for speed,
self-service and scalability for the enterprise, enabling
organizations to begin making better-informed business decisions
using Big Data analytics. The Federation Business Data Lake joins
the Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Solution as a converged solution from
the EMC Federation that will redefine infrastructure to maximize
the speed and agility for IT organizations deploying Hybrid Clouds
and Data Lakes.
The incredible potential of Big Data is being driven first and
foremost by the growth of data from traditional applications,
modern applications, sensors and intelligent devices along with
masses of new public data such as social media feeds. The
ability to capture and process that data is now possible because of
the growth of inexpensive storage and limitless compute, along with
the invention of new technologies that enable real-time analysis
and a direct connection to action through new applications and
products. These storage and analytics technologies, along
with the massive data sets comprise the Business Data Lake.
Business Data Lakes are becoming a top corporate priority
because they fill a critical gap left by traditional data
warehousing. A Business Data Lake contains structured and
unstructured data from a wide variety of sources and the analytics
are focused on building models to predict the future.
Companies with successful Data Lakes are leveraging the data and
predictive models to build new products, applications and business
models to redefine their industry, taking or extending the "Market
Leader" role.
A highly effective Business Data Lake will provide three
critical functions:
- Store: Stores structured and unstructured data for all
types of analytics, from many different sources, blending capacity
and performance as needed for the analytics use case.
- Analyze: Provides modern data management and analytics
tools for all types of analytics including Hadoop-based, In-Memory
No-SQL and Scale-out MPP.
- Surface & Act: Provides data to users and
applications to enable real-time changes in outcomes and to
influence critical decisions.
Until now, building an effective Data Lake has been difficult
and complex. IT organizations seeking to deploy a Data Lake must
deploy and configure the right analytics platform and the right
corresponding storage for each analytics use case, from Hadoop to
real-time. Once the environment is created, data must be
loaded with all the right access rights and governance applied to
the data sets. Deployment of the environment and data sets is
a complex and time-consuming task, preventing IT from meeting the
needs of business users.
The Federation Business Data Lake Solution
The
Federation Business Data Lake Solution makes it easy to deploy a
Business Data Lake. Core products from the EMC Federation of
Companies, EMC Information Infrastructure, Pivotal and VMware,
provide the core functionality of the Federation Business Data Lake
meeting the critical functional needs - Store, Analyze, Surface and
Act.
The Federation Business Data Lake is a fully engineered solution
that can be rapidly and automatically provisioned, enabling IT
organizations to lead the needs of the business. The
analytics layer is completely virtualized with VMware running on
Vblocks® with predefined analytics use cases and
automated provisioning and configuration. EMC®
Isilon® provides the Data Lake Storage Foundation,
delivering the ideal balance of capacity and performance.
The analytics layer is comprised of the Pivotal Big Data Suite,
including PivotalHD, featuring the world's leading SQL-on-Hadoop
engine, HAWQ. Pivotal Big Data Suite provides enterprise-class SQL,
which allows for seamless integration and interoperability with top
analytics platforms such as SAS, Tableau and others, over data
stored in Hadoop. EMC is also delivering two additional Business
Data Lakes to enable integration with customer choice of Hadoop
distribution including Cloudera and Hortonworks, along with any
future Open Data Platform-based Hadoop distribution.
EMC Data Lake Services:

education is available with the Federation Business Data Lake to
enable customers at varying stages of their Data Lake journey to
implement the solution, prove out the value of the solution and
quickly identify strategic Big Data use cases, including:
