Vertica

Conceived by legendary database guru Michael Stonebraker, the HP Vertica Analytics Platform was purpose built from the first line of code for Big Data Analytics. Why? Because it was clear that data warehouses and “business-as-usual” practices were limiting technologies, causing businesses to make painful compromises.

The HP Vertica Analytics Platform was consciously designed with speed, scalability, simplicity, and openness at its core and architected to handle analytical workloads via a distributed compressed columnar architecture. HP Vertica provides blazing-fast speed (queries run 50-1,000x faster), petabyte-scale (store 10-30x more data per server), and openness and simplicity (use any BI/ETL tools, Hadoop, etc.) — all at 30% of the cost of traditional data warehouse solutions.

Cloudera

Being truly information-driven requires you have access to all your data: Not just some of your data. Not only monthly, aggregate or summary data. But all of it, in all formats, no matter what the structure (or lack of structure), kept online for many years, or even decades.

Cloudera was founded in October 2008 to deliver the first enterprise-class implementation of Apache Hadoop. Not only was Cloudera the first company formed to build solutions based on Hadoop, but Doug Cutting, the co-creator of Hadoop, joined the company in 2009 as our Chief Architect and remains in that role today.

Today Cloudera offers a complete solution with Hadoop at its core: Our Enterprise Data Hub (EDH). It’s designed to solve data management problems by taking advantage of the power of Hadoop. But Hadoop by itself is not enough, it’s not an EDH.

Platfora

Our mission is to empower customers to transform their businesses into Fact-Based Enterprises. Platfora masks the complexity of Hadoop, making it easy for customers to understand all the facts in their business across events, actions, behaviors and time. With Platfora Big Data Analytics software, we make it easy to transform Big Data in Hadoop into hard facts. Big Data Analytics masks the complexity of Big Data so that business users can capitalize on all of the data at their disposal — regardless of type or source. We make it easy for business users to interrogate their Big Data by asking deeper questions and correlating behavior and actions across multiple domains of data (no matter if it’s click-streams, mobile apps, social networks, sensors or internal databases) so they can make fact-based decisions, faster.
