Datameer Joins Dell's Emerging Solutions Ecosystem To Deliver Big Data Analytics Software

SAN MATEO, Calif., July 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Datameer, Inc., the big data analytics application that turns raw data into business insights, today announced it is now a part of Dell's Emerging Solutions Ecosystem, which delivers complementary best-of-breed components including hardware, software and services validated for interoperability. Through this program, Datameer's data integration, analytics and visualization solution will be offered as part of the Dell Apache Hadoop Solution.

Available now for purchase directly from Dell, Datameer will be offered as an analytics application on top of Cloudera's distribution of Apache Hadoop with  Dell's hardware reference architecture and Crowbar software framework with services and support jointly provided. Datameer's software is ideal for financial services, retail, telecommunications, Web 2.0 or other industries that have both structured and unstructured data and need to make fast, data-driven decisions. Flexible, highly scalable and cost-effective, Datameer's software enables business users to do data analysis on-demand.   

"Customers are demanding a simple solution to address big data analytics," said John Igoe, executive director of Cloud and Big Data Solutions at Dell. "Offering Datameer as a part of the Dell Apache Hadoop Solution provides customers an analytics application that runs natively on Hadoop, providing complete end-user functionality for integration, analytics and visualization."

"Our number one priority is making big data analytics as easy to use as possible," said Stefan Groschupf, CEO of Datameer.
