BlueData Updates Platform to Deploy Big Data Infrastructure and Applications

BlueData has released updates to its BlueData EPIC software platform provides enterprise-class security and quality of service (QoS) for multi-tenant Big Data deployments. With the release BlueData continues to add support for new applications and frameworks to provide a Big-Data-as-a-Service (BDaaS) environment on-premises.

BlueData’s EPIC platform provides the ability to deploy Big Data infrastructure and applications, leveraging Docker containers to provide a self-service BDaaS experience on-premises together with the security and performance for Big Data analytics in the enterprise. Companies can spin up Hadoop or Spark clusters within minutes, whether for test or production environments plus benefit from the agility and efficiency benefits of virtualization, with the performance of bare-metal.

This latest release incorporates a number of new features and functionality enhancements to simplify and accelerate on-premises Big Data deployments and enterprise-grade functionality to support a wide range of use cases from initial prototyping to production environments.

The BlueData EPIC platform now provides additional security and governance capabilities to meet enterprise-class auditing and regulatory compliance requirements.  Other new functionality includes more granular resource management controls, QoS-based allocation, performance optimizations, and quota enforcement for multi-tenant Big Data deployments. 

BlueData has also extended its support for Big Data applications and tools including Cloudera Navigator and Ranger for data governance and security administration; HAWQ for massively parallel processing analytics; and Geode (Gemfire) as well as Cassandra and Kafka for real-time analytics.
