EMC Qualifies Attunity File Replication and Transfer Solutions for EMC Greenplum Hadoop (GP HD)
Attunity offers first and only solutions currently qualified by EMC for GP HD
BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, January 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Attunity Ltd. (NASDAQ: ATTU), a leading provider of information availability software
solutions, announced today that EMC Greenplum has officially qualified Attunity RepliWeb
for Enterprise File Replication (EFR) and Attunity Managed File Transfer (MFT) with EMC
Greenplum Hadoop (HD). Attunity RepliWeb for EFR and Attunity MFT were designed as
high-performance, easy-to-use solutions for automating, managing and accelerating the
process of making data available for Big Data Analytics with Hadoop. The Attunity
products, launched earlier this year, are the first and only solutions currently qualified
by EMC for Greenplum HD.
Hadoop, the open-source programming framework for large-scale data processing, has
rapidly emerged as one of the leading solutions for Big Data analytics across unstructured
data. However, the efficient and timely movement of Big Data into Hadoop continues to be a
major challenge due to the exploding amounts of unstructured and machine-generated data
that companies generate daily from various, disparate sources. The Attunity EFR and MFT
solutions help enterprises that want to capitalize on Big Data analytics to better support
decision-making and thereby improve their competitive position.
"According to results from Unisphere Research's new 2012 study, 'Big Data, Big
Challenges, Big Opportunities', only 19% of organizations are completely confident that
their current IT and data infrastructure will be up to the task of handling the data
management requirements of Big Data in the coming years," said Thomas J. Wilson, President
of Unisphere Research, the market research unit of DBTA. "Now is the time for
forward-looking organizations to re-examine their data management processes and evaluate
new technologies, including solutions supporting Hadoop and cloud adoption."
"Attunity is very pleased with the qualification of Attunity RepliWeb for EFR and
Attunity MFT for Greenplum HD and we look forward to continuing our partnership with EMC
Greenplum to ensure that the critical market challenge of the Big Data bottleneck is
solved," said Itamar Ankorion, Vice President Business Development and Corporate Strategy
at Attunity. "Attunity now offers a complete set of EMC Greenplum-qualified solutions for
loading data to both the Greenplum Database and Greenplum HD, facilitating different types
of analytic processing to enable customers to capitalize on the value of Big Data
Analytics."
