Bridging new-school data analytics with legacy applications
Data analytics is now an established part of the business world. However, companies must choose their analytics platforms with care. The concern is choosing a solution that plays well with other, existing applications and databases. Pivotal Software Inc. turned to the open-source community and its own non-proprietary initiatives like Cloud Foundry and Greenplum to build a platform for agility and wide compatibility.
“What isn’t really well-known is that over Pivotal’s history … we focused on the Cloud Foundry side, on [developer operations], on getting users to publish code. What we haven’t talked about as much is what we’re doing on the data side,” said Jacque Istok (pictured), field-facing chief technology officer at Pivotal Software Inc.
Istok sp0ke with John Furrier (@furrier) and Peter Burris (@plburris), co-hosts of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the BigData NYC conference in New York. During his time with theCUBE, Istok discussed the details of his company’s Greenplum analytics platform and how it can bridge old and new methods for data management. (* Disclosure below.)
Open-source agility in analytics
As a company, Pivotal has refocused itself on modern technology. One example is Greenplum Database, its open-source platform for analyzing large data sets designed with extreme agility in mind. Now, they ship code and updates every four to five weeks. In fact, Pivotal released version five of the platform just before the BigData NYC conference.
For compatibility purposes, Greenplum adheres to the guidelines set out by the American National Standards Institute and works with text, graph and spatial analytics. The goal is to bridge legacy and modern technology together in one platform so customers can use it immediately. Greenplum also furthers Pivotal’s commitment to open-source software.
Postgres, a SQL database management system, is also part of the Greenplum platform. “It is the most full-featured actual database in the open-source community,” Istok said. Not only does Postgres give Greenplum a technology advantage, it also brings in the Postgres community. Because of this, Pivotal can take advantage of solutions from that ecosystem.
For customers, this means they have the option of a modern platform that can run on-premises, on bare metal, and also virtually and off-premises. Greenplum represents an open-source solution that allows companies to build analytics and then move those analytics to the cloud and back.
“Load the data within the Greenplum platform, point those applications directly to Greenplum and run them unchanged,” Istok stated.
