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.
