Alation Partners With Hortonworks, Lowering the Barrier to Analyst Data Access on Hadoop

REDWOOD CITY, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 22, 2016) -Alation, Inc., the collaborative data company, today announced certification of its #Alation platform with the #Hortonworks Data Platform™ (HDP) and interoperability with #Apache #Tez ™, the popular processing engine for Apache #Hadoop™. Now analysts can more easily find and understand data in Hadoop using Alation for increased productivity and maximization of enterprise Hadoop investments.

Data analysts familiar with SQL still often struggle with finding and understanding data in Hadoop despite the rapid enterprise adoption of Hadoop as a big data store. Alation's certification withHortonworks lowers the barrier to data access on Hadoop by providing a single, central data catalog featuring embedded search, query and collaboration tools for working across big data systems, including databases and Hadoop.

With today's news, Alation provides certified support for Tez, an open source framework under the Apache Software Foundation for YARN-based, data processing applications in Hadoop. The move further expands Alation's Hadoop ecosystem through partnerships with leading Hadoop vendors includingCloudera, Altiscale and now Hortonworks. Alation is empowering data analysts to tap into Hadoop as a real business tool with one out-of-the-box data access solution, forgoing the need for specialized coding expertise beyond standard SQL.
