Xcalar Teams with MapR To Deliver High-Performance Data Access for Advanced Analytics
SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB) November 15, 2017 -- Xcalar, Inc. today announced a technology partnership with MapR Technologies, Inc. that provides Xcalar’s patented True Data in Place™ technology together with MapR-XD architecture for high I/O throughput and low-latency access for big data analytics. Xcalar is a big data startup in modern business analytics, while MapR is a pioneer in delivering one platform for all data, across every cloud. This partnership enables breakthrough performance using a fraction of the memory that is typical of expensive pure in-memory systems.
Xcalar provides an open and extensible analytics platform that delivers actionable insights with simplicity, speed, and scale. Its patented technologies are used in building a cloud-scale platform for the complete analytics pipeline, including data preparation, data science, data warehousing, and ad hoc analytics. Its enterprise grade software scales to hundreds of nodes, thousands of users, and petabytes of data, for both cloud and on-premises deployments. In addition, Xcalar uniquely extends native relational algebra on a scale-out platform for modern data, giving enterprises the ability to intuitively discover insights using a variety of open programming languages, interactive model design, as well as traditional SQL. It provides visibility, access, and auditability with sophisticated data lineage through all stages of the analytics pipeline.
Xcalar True Data in Place™ technology enables advanced analytics on source data files without processing them into an internal format as required by relational databases. Data is analyzed in its original form using metadata views that are dynamic and fluid. The technology is a key feature of Xcalar Data Platform, which can now access data stored on MapR-XD in addition to cloud or on-premises platforms. In addition, Xcalar seamlessly integrates with MapR's wire-level security.
Additional partnership benefits include:
- Support for high performance insert, modify, and delete relational operations through Xcalar Data Platform
- Update data on MapR-XD in place with automated tiered data storage
- Hybrid cloud deployments where Xcalar and MapR can be deployed on different clouds and on-premises platforms.
“Our partnership with MapR provides for a tight integration of Xcalar and MapR-XD, so as to deliver additional analytics performance benefits to MapR users,” said Rebecca Ye, Xcalar Co-Founder and COO. “It is a powerful combination of two best-in-class solutions for organizations that need to extract key business insights from big data.”
“As companies become more data-driven, they expect to access all data sources no matter where the data is stored,” said Geneva Lake, Vice President, worldwide alliances and channels, MapR. “This technology partnership with Xcalar allows our joint customers to perform advanced analytics on all their data, from on-premises to across all clouds and to the edge, without the need to move data files.”
