The latest release of SAP Vora is designed to accelerate and facilitate enterprise-level project implementations more affordably, providing enterprises with actionable insights from all their data, whether stored in Hadoop, enterprise systems or other distributed data sources.
At the same time, SAP Cloud Platform Big Data Services (Altiscale, prior to its acquisition by SAP last autumn) has expanded its Hadoop/Spark services to Europe as a precursor to making SAP Vora’s SQL capabilities available in the cloud across North America and Europe in the second quarter.
“SAP Cloud Platform Big Data Services will help enterprises achieve a high-performance, production-ready Hadoop environment with minimal effort, while SAP Vora helps organisations bring Big Data insights into the enterprise,” said Greg McStravick, president, database and data management, SAP.
“Along with an intuitive web interface, SAP Vora opens up self-service Big Data discovery to a broader set of users in the organisation, making it easier for these insights to be utilised in business decision making,” said Dan Vesset, group VP and lead, Big Data and analytics research, IDC.
SAP Vora is a distributed computing solution that extends the Apache Spark framework to provide interactive analytics on Hadoop. It supports highly compressed time series storage and analysis algorithms that work directly on top of compressed data. SAP Vora uses SQL to provide standard aggregation, granularisation and series analysis.
Cloud deployment through Amazon Web Services and SAP Cloud Platform Big Data Services enables organisations using SAP Vora to integrate with existing solutions and to scale as necessary without needing to manage the infrastructure.
SAP Vora is now part of Cloudera Certified Partners and supported by major Hadoop vendors including Cloudera, Hortonworks and MapR Technologies for on-premise deployments.
