Big Data Analytics

Whether you are wading through enormous log files and click streams, dealing with the social media fire hose, or trying to manage protein sequencing, you are used to big data. Managing the volume, speed, and variety of data produced by today’s applications is top of mind. Dealing with big data in the cloud takes new approaches to storage and analytics. Hadoop and other High Performance Computing (HPC) tools, provide the distributed processing framework necessary to crunch big data. RightScale and our partners offer Hadoop and HPC big data solutions used by startups and enterprises alike.

Hadoop and RightScale

Companies use RightScale for all sorts of big data analyses, from pharmaceutical analysis to fraud prevention. Take advantage of elastic compute capacity and on-demand provisioning to schedule your compute-intensive analytics jobs. RightScale auto-scaling is alert- and script-based, enabling you to automatically spin up or down your analytics cluster however you like. RightScale works across public and private clouds, allowing you to move Hadoop workloads among public providers and private data centers as cost, capacity, and requirements dictate. And all of the goodness of RightScale - provisioning, configuration, monitoring, and governance - is built in.

Big Data Analytics ServerTemplates are available in the MultiCloud Marketplace to stand up Hadoop master and data nodes from RightScale and IBM BigInsights. IBM BigInsights includes:

• Big Data University tutorials and training.
• Open source Apache Hadoop for large scale data processing and analysis.
• Jaql query language to facilitate analysis of structured (through a SQL-like interface) and unstructured data.
• A management console for easy administration.
• Basic Edition is free up to 10TB.

High Performance Computing

Many scientists, engineers, economists, traders, accountants and others need to solve problems on a daily basis that require lots of computation to solve problems or find something in a very large data set. These activities typically require High Performance Computing clusters. With RightScale and HPC solutions like Univa, HPC clusters are quick and easy to set up. Univa One-Click HPC makes it much easier to quickly create a cluster, perform testing, and deliver results. Find out more in the Univa HPC in the Cloud Solution Brief.
