#Dell #EMC today unveiled a new converged platform that combines the hardware and software data scientists need into a single package. By enabling data scientists to self-provision a set of cultivated #Hadoop resources, they can start crunching data and delivering insights from Hadoop in a matter of weeks, rather than the months or years it often takes to stand up a working cluster, the company says. It’s no secret that putting together a production-ready Hadoop cluster is a lot of work. Selecting a Hadoop distribution and installing it on a cluster of X86 clusters is just the start. You must also manage it, secure it, and provision access to Hadoop resources. Oh, and don’t forget the governance, lest the data become unruly. All the data and hardware must be stitched together, which consumes salaries of internal IT teams or ends up as billable hours in a consultant’s balance sheet. In short, the act of building a big data framework to leverage data science to deliver business insights in a scalable and reputable way—or what is often referred to as the operationalizing of data science—is a lot tougher than it looks on TV. The folks at Dell EMC are hoping to cut out a lot of the time and expense from this process with a new converged platform called the Analytic Insights Module (AIM). At a high level, AIM consists of Dell blades, EMC Isilon storage, #VMware virtualization, certified Hadoop distributions from Hortonworks (NASDAQ: HDP) and Cloudera, and third-party Hadoop management tools from Attivio, BlueTalon, and Zaloni.
