Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) August 14, 2014 -- Qubole™, the award-winning provider of the next generation Cloud Big Data platform, has been included in Startup50’s comprehensive list of 2014’s hottest companies in Big Data.
The vetting process was long and arduous and the competition was extremely broad, as the report included entrants from twelve different categories, but Qubole was ultimately rewarded. The company founded by the creators of Apache Hive was highlighted among the ‘Hadoop Darlings’ on the strength of QDS’ true auto-scaling cluster capabilities.
Qubole has addressed the industry-wide lack of qualified data scientists by building a user-friendly platform that caters to customers of varying Big Data experience. As the report describes, “An intuitive UI expands the reach of this service beyond data analysts to entire lines of businesses.” This accessibility for the non-technical user has grown the customer base rapidly, as more companies have recognized the need for data insights.
Startup50 editor Jeff Vance highlights that trend in the report. “From ‘Fast Data’ to visualization software to Hadoop-as-a-Service to tools used to track ‘Social Whales’, these Big Data startups are pushing the entire economy towards data-driven decision making,” said Vance.
