PALO ALTO, Calif. — August 19, 2015 —Altiscale, the leading provider of Big-Data-as-a-Service, announced today that it is making AtScale’s OLAP-on-Hadoop technology available in the Altiscale Data Cloud. With this combined offering, business customers can experience an enterprise-grade OLAP-on-Hadoop environment in the cloud.

As the volume, variety, and velocity of data continue to grow, traditional data infrastructure is failing to keep pace. Enterprises are increasingly turning to Apache Hadoop to handle their data challenges. However, Hadoop environments can be difficult to set up and operate — according to a leading industry analyst firm, seven of 10 Hadoop implementations will fail to meet their business objectives — and Hadoop environments are difficult for business analysts to use. The combination of the AtScale Intelligence Platform and the Altiscale Data Cloud addresses both of these challenges, providing an easy-to-use BI experience on top of Hadoop-as-a-Service. As a cloud offering, Altiscale is very quick to deploy, requiring days, not months, with significantly lower upfront costs than on-premises options.
OLAP-as-a-Service
The AtScale Intelligence Platform has been architected to bring self-serve business intelligence to Hadoop. AtScale works natively with the world’s most common business intelligence tools and its virtual OLAP cube technology lets business users query Hadoop with optimal speed, scalability, and security. For Altiscale Data Cloud customers, the Intelligence Platform is tightly integrated and can be deployed in minutes using just a few clicks.
With Altiscale Data Cloud, the AtScale Intelligence Platform runs on top of enterprise-grade Hadoop in the cloud, reducing time to value, lowering costs and eliminating implementation risk. Since Altiscale runs a complete Hadoop ecosystem for its customers, it also eliminates one of Hadoop’s greatest challenges: ongoing operational risk. This allows customers to focus on their business goals without losing time and effort to the ongoing burden of Hadoop management.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap between the existing business intelligence ecosystem and Hadoop. The Altiscale Data Cloud is a great solution for companies that need enterprise-grade Hadoop but do not want to have to implement or manage infrastructure,” said David Mariani, CEO, AtScale. “By offering AtScale Intelligence Platform for the Altiscale Data Cloud, the two companies provide a solution that goes a long way in letting business people do BI, at elastic scale and with OLAP speed, without having to worry about technical infrastructure.”
