Imagine how much more productive your data scientists and business analysts can be with results in seconds, not hours.” Actian VectorH opens up rich analytics functionalities for developers and data scientists seeking to harness the power of Apache® Spark™ capabilities including machine learning, streaming and predictive analytics, and creates a modern production platform that offers security, real-time data updates with zero performance penalty, resource management in the Hadoop cluster, query optimization and industry standard SQL support. Highlights of the Actian VectorH analytics database: Scale-out Hadoop performance – Dramatically improved performance with Actian Vector technology – VectorH enables extensibility of the world’s fastest database from single node processing to accelerate performance in Hadoop clusters. Workloads of standard benchmark queries that typically take over two hours with traditional SQL solutions on Hadoop finish in less than a minute running on VectorH. Zero-penalty, real-time data updates – Unlike traditional Hadoop analytics solutions, VectorH can process real-time data updates without any associated performance penalty, an essential capability to ensure that an organization’s analytic insight is always current, leveraging its freshest data. Organizations no longer have to give up consistency for performance. Spark powered direct query access – Through its innovative native Spark support, VectorH delivers optimized access to Hadoop data file formats including Parquet and ORC, circumventing the need to translate and store data separately into the Vector file format. This direct access includes the ability to perform functions like SQL joins across different table types. Native Spark DataFrame support – Direct connection to Spark functionality via DataFrames, enabling VectorH to serve as a faster query execution engine for SparkSQL and Spark R applications. “As an innovative provider of leading network monitoring solutions to manage global transportation and mobile systems, Expandium pushes the edge of Big Data technologies, starting with Actian Vector,” said Rodolphe Guillard, software team leader, Expandium. “With explosive growth in mobile data, we’ve developed our new network intelligence platform to scale up on Actian VectorH to perform near real-time data ingestion in a production environment. We’re excited about employing Actian’s new native Spark integration to stream data to machine learning solutions to sustain our technical leadership.” The new version of Actian VectorH will be released at the end of October.
