Apache Hadoop Integration in SAP

With the cooperation, Datavard aims to facilitate Hadoop integration for SAP user companies and offer Big Data architectures from a single source.

The Datavard OutBoard nearline storage solution is already certified for Cloudera 5.

"Hadoop is an exciting topic for SAP user companies, and when combined with Hana, it provides the ideal data and application platform for digital transformation.

We see this both in the high level of interest shown by our customers and, above all, in the rapidly increasing number of projects that we have the privilege of supporting.

We are therefore very pleased to have Cloudera, the content leader in Hadoop distributions, as our partner."

explains Gregor Stöckler, Datavard CEO.

"Through this collaboration, our products bridge the gap between Hadoop and SAP even better, enabling our customers to easily and cost-effectively integrate Hadoop with SAP."

"Big Data is the fuel for digital transformation. But many of our customers don't use a unified infrastructure for this, but rather several separate platforms, including increasingly the in-memory platform Hana."
