AltraHD integrates seamlessly into the Apache Hadoop software stack and automatically compresses all files using the Hadoop Distributed File System, as well as all intermediate data. AltraHD provides up to two times the performance and 90% reduction in storage costs over native Hadoop.
“The explosion of big data is rapidly increasing the performance and storage requirements for big data platforms,” said Craig Lytle, Senior Vice President, Exar. “The integration of AltraHD and Cloudera Enterprise 5 will maximise both the performance and storage capacity of Hadoop clusters.”
“The AltraHD and Cloudera solution enables big data operators to efficiently scale their Hadoop environments today, as well as plan for future requirements,” said Tim Stevens, Vice Pesident, Cloudera.
