Pentaho 5.4 Updates
Building on a foundation of Big Data innovation, Pentaho adds powerful new capabilities to 5.4, future-proofing enterprise data architectures in the face of growing data volumes and new cloud-based deployment requirements. New integrations with Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Spark, and SAP HANA empower organizations to accelerate Big Data orchestration and blending in any environment.
Big Data Deployment in the Cloud
Pentaho 5.4 supports native integration with Amazon Elastic MapReduce. Providing visual data orchestration for the EMR Hadoop framework, MapReduce jobs can be quickly developed and run in-cluster for high performance, allowing IT teams to deploy faster. Leveraging EMR with the Amazon Redshift analytic database and S3 storage, users can visually orchestrate on-demand, secure analytic data sets. Read more about cloud-based Big Data architectures.
Scale Hadoop in a Big Data Environment
With the launch of Pentaho 5.4, Pentaho releases the results of a recent scalability study demonstrating the performance of Pentaho MapReduce and Hadoop on rapidly increasing data volumes. These tests show sustained data processing performance at scale when running Pentaho MapReduce jobs in large Hadoop clusters. Read the study.
