The Challenge

Business analytics needs are fundamentally changing as the volume of data skyrockets and the focus of analytics change from transaction data to interaction data. The rapid rise of website interactions, social media, online gaming and network/cloud traffic drives typical data volumes in terabytes and petabytes rather than megabytes with non-structured data being the bulk of the increased data volumes. At the same time, the need to understand business operations, customers and prospects has never been more important as all businesses face stiff competition for finite customer revenue. New technologies, especially Hadoop, have entered the picture to address the need to store, transform and analyze these large datasets. While the open source Hadoop technology offers unlimited scalability and very low cost, it's a raw technology toolset with a command line interface that requires extensive Java programming and IT resources commitment to function as any sort of analytic solution.

The Solution

Datameer is the first and only business user focused application for Hadoop-based analytics. It provides four key elements:

• Wizard-based data integration platform designed for IT users and BI analysts to schedule, load and transform large datasets of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data
• Integrated analytics and visualization for business-users, familiar spreadsheet-like interface with over 200 built-in analytic functions and drag and drop reporting and dashboarding
• Enterprise and Big Data scalability of Hadoop together with IT management tools that overcome Hadoop's heavy technical burden
• Unparalleled cost effectiveness that leverages the power of open source Hadoop

Datameer fits seamlessly into your IT landscape through open standards and integration with industry-leading technologies. Datameer connects to any data source through JDBC, Hive, SCP, S3, HTTP or a plug-in system for unique requirements. The solution runs on private or public cloud environments, leveraging Amazon, Microsoft Azure and VMWare. A REST API helps Datameer communicate with other applications and is commonly used to automate data imports and exports. The Datameer metadata database is accessible through JDBC. Finally, Datameer also supports integration with industry leading monitoring technologies from Hyperic and Nagios.
