SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 22, 2016/PRNewswire/ -- #Hortonworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:HDP) today announced that it was among the select companies that Forrester Research, Inc. invited to participate in its January 2016 report entitled The Forrester Wave™: Big Data #Hadoop Distributions, Q1 2016. In this evaluation, Hortonworks was cited as a Leader and had the highest score in the strategy criterion. According to the Forrester Report, "Enterprise Hadoop is a market that is not even 10 years old, but Forrester estimates that 100% of all large enterprises will adopt it (Hadoop and related technologies such as Spark) for big data analytics within the next two years."
The Forrester Report noted, "Hortonworks doubles-down on inclusive, broad community innovation. Hortonworks is a rock when it comes to its promise to offer a 100% open source distribution. All of the technology built into HDP is an Apache open source project. Hortonworks will acquire companies to fill enterprise gaps and immediately contributes the code to an Apache project for the good of the community. For example, Hortonworks acquired XA Secure, a company with a commercially licensed security solution, and contributed the code to Apache as Apache Ranger. Hortonworks is also an important member of the Open Data Platform initiative (ODPi) formed earlier this year with IBM, Pivotal Software, and 12 other technology vendors, because the group has adopted Hortonworks-initiated projects such as Apache Ambari. Customers value Hortonworks' approach to open source innovation."
