Esgyn Launches Enterprise-Class Converged Big Data Platform for Transactions, Operational Data Stores, and BI/Analytics with EsgynDB 2.1
Milpitas, CA (PRWEB) September 07, 2016 -- Esgyn Corporation, the provider of the industry’s most mature, Enterprise-class, MPP SQL Database for Big Data, has announced the general availability of EsgynDB Release 2.1. Esgyn is a pioneer in enabling enterprises to step into the emerging world of Operational Big Data. Operational Big Data is a new category of Big Data applications that encompass operational and transactional workloads beyond analytics.
EsgynDB is the commercially supported software with enterprise add-ons, built on Apache Trafodion (incubating). EsgynDB 2.1 propels Esgyn’s march towards a converged Big Data vision to support any structure of data, of any size, for any workload, from instantaneous transactional and operational to complex reporting, via deep integration with appropriate storage engines, both persistent and in-memory.
EsgynDB 2.1 provides the scale out capabilities of a NoSQL database with the advantages and flexibility of a relational Database, so that enterprises can have the best of both worlds to support ever increasing, complex workloads and multi-structured data sets.
"The latest release of EsgynDB provides critical features for any enterprise which is betting on realizing the value from Big Data, by leveraging the investments for BI, analytics and operational reporting," said Wang Zheng, General Manager of Enterprise Business at LeTV. "We are excited to take advantage of the release right away to accelerate the value of Big Data to our business and our customers."
"We are extremely pleased with our latest release of EsgynDB, which now offers support for columnar storage and enhanced text search capabilities" said Dr. Hong Ding, Co-Founder & Executive Vice President of Esgyn Corporation. "By deeply integrating with row, columnar and Big Table open source storage engines, we are ushering in a new era for enterprises to deliver transactions through analytics in a single Database for Big Data. We are able to draw from our rich experience with Enterprise Data Warehouse workloads, to enable a holistic approach and an adaptive architecture."
Key highlights of EsgynDB 2.1 include:
- Optimized Row Columnar (ORC) format - Seamless support for columnar storage to run analytical workloads efficiently. By fully taking advantage of columnar storage, Esgyn customers can speed up BI and analytical queries by at least 3X. ORC support brings together relational data in Trafodion tables on low latency HBase, with semi-structured data stored in the HBase Big Table format, with columnar storage in ORC for reporting, via a single powerful world-class query engine.
- Extensible Data Pipeline Architecture - Integrate external data sources and processing engines in the same query to enable ingestion, text search, and machine learning. Esgyn offers out-of-the-box support for Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Apache Lucene and Anaconda, and customers can add custom integrations.
- Elastic Scaling – EsgynDB scales up and down in the Cloud or on-premises, completely online, not losing a single heartbeat, as customer workloads scale to demand. With elastic scaling, EsgynDB customers can add or remove more servers without disrupting services and impacting SLAs.
- Point-in-Time Restore - EsgynDB’s Point-in-Time Restore protects the data from unintended table updates or drops.
Technical Preview of Apache Trafodion to Spark Connector to Open Source Community
Along with EsgynDB 2.1 release, Esgyn is releasing a technical preview of its integration with Spark through the Extensible Data Pipeline Architecture. Trafodion users can take advantage of this extensible integration to run Spark queries and run machine learning algorithms on the data stored in EsgynDB. The connector allows the users to create in-memory materialized views from Trafodion data as Spark DataFrames that Trafodion can query for lightning fast reporting.
