LONDON, June 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- #Kognitio, driving the convergence of Big Data, in-memory analytics and demanding self-serve visualization users, today announced the availability of Kognitio on #Hadoop™. It was developed by the company to meet the specific requirements of one of the world’s largest credit card companies, and is now being made available globally at no charge to companies of all sizes.
Kognitio made the announcement at the #Strata + Hadoop World conference, being held here in London. Kognitio is an Impact Sponsor at the event.
Company officials said Kognitio on Hadoop is specifically designed to enable hundreds of users to produce thousands of queries per second concurrently against huge amounts of data stored in memory. It works in combination with Hadoop’s resource management technology known as YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator), or MapReduce 2.0. Kognitio on Hadoop, therefore, offers the advantage of running on existing hardware as part of a company’s Hadoop implementation, thus reducing the need for additional capital expenditure.
“For some time, there has been a gap in the market for a tool that provides high-concurrency, ultra-fast SQL on Hadoop,” said Roger Gaskell, Kognitio’s chief technology officer. “The credit card company had this specific challenge. It needed to connect Tableau’s visual analytics to a large Hadoop-based data set and provide interactive, self-serve analytics to thousands of end users. After an exhaustive search, it concluded that Kognitio on Hadoop delivered the best solution to its specific needs.”
