Splunk software integrates with Apache (TM) Hadoop (tm)

Splunk Inc., the leading operating intelligence software provider, announced today that it will integrate Splunk enterprise™ software with apache™hadoop™. A new package named Splunk Enterprise™with Hadoop will benefit Splunk users and businesses that plan to configure Hadoop.

"Splunk has proven to be a leader in the market for delivering business intelligence from huge machine data, and Hadoop is a great data science platform," says Todd Papaioannou, former chief architect of the Battery ventures entrepreneur and Yahoo Global Cloud computing team. The combination of the two is a perfect match. "Mr. Papaioannou was responsible for setting strategic directions for the cloud team and the Hadoop team during his time at Yahoo and overseeing its implementation."

Splunk software enables users to collect, monitor, analyze, search, and report on large, real-time and historical machine data streams, and has many enterprise functions, such as role-based access control. The new package will take advantage of the capabilities of Splunk Enterprise and Hadoop. Users will be able to:

uses Splunk Enterprise software to collect machine data from tens of thousands of data sources, perform real-time searches, fast data analysis, monitoring, and alerting, and then selectively provide data to Hadoop to archive or run specialized batch data analysis using Splunk to Hadoop The data in the MapReduce query program, and then the resulting data set into Splunk further processing and analysis to create dashboards, and share results expand Splunk authentication and role-based access control to protect the data utilization of Hadoop and Splunk storage Splunk APIs and SDKs integrate data from Splunk Enterprise and Hadoop with other applications Splunk recognized capabilities to improve reliability and productivity, monitor and troubleshoot the Hadoop configuration and other parts of the IT architecture

Erik Swan, co-founder and chief technology officer of Splunk, said: "This integrated software has Splunk real-time capabilities, and its ease of use and corporate capabilities will attract the support of the IT community around the world." We believe that our fully integrated solution will allow Splunk users and Hadoop developers to successfully advance significant large data projects with more than just the Hadoop connector scenario. ”

"In our recent research on Hadoop and information management benchmarking, researchers said two of the biggest technical challenges of Hadoop are real-time capabilities and consolidation," said David Menninger, vice president and research director of Ventana. Splunk's announcement of the integration with Hadoop is significant because it solves both of these technical challenges. It can be used for real-time search and monitoring of machine data, or it can be integrated with Hadoop to take advantage of its advanced batch data analysis capabilities. We believe that the combination of large data technologies will benefit Splunk users and Hadoop developers. ”
