HP Offers Free Enterprise-Class Big Data Analytics

HP has announced the availability of a free full-feature version of the HP Vertica Analytics Platform for up to a full terabyte of data, enabling organisations to experience how to optimise and monetise Big Data.

While organisations recognise the potential for insights to be extracted from Big Data, they want to make sure there is value in the information analysed. To help clients determine the benefits of analysing their Big Data before deploying an enterprisewide solution, HP is offering the new HP Vertica Community Edition. This free, downloadable software solution delivers the same functionality as HP Vertica Analytics Platform Enterprise Edition with no commitments or time limits.

“Organisations want to make sure they can analyse and monetise Big Data before committing to a major investment,” Amit Chatterjee, country director, HP Software India. “The updated HP Vertica Community Edition allows them to test drive a next-generation analytics platform, gain insight from Big Data, and understand the real ROI of the project before they spend a dime.”

Enhancements to the HP Vertica Community Edition enable clients to rapidly gain insights from Big Data with a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) connector that speeds data loading and ensures seamless native integration between HDFS and the HP Vertica Analytics Platform.

It facilitates advanced analytics by enabling data scientists to quickly initiate advanced analytics with a prebuilt R language pack, one of the most popular open-source statistics packages available today.
