MapR Introduces New Quick Start Migration Service
Announcement posted by MapR 18 May 2016
Addresses accelerating demand to move to Converged Data Platform
Orlando, FL– May 17, 2016 – MapR Technologies, Inc., provider of the industry’s only Converged Data Platform, today announced at SAPPHIRE NOW its new Quick Start Migration Service to address the strong demand from companies with big data production installations moving to the MapR Converged Data Platform for reliability and real-time requirements.
Customers across the board–from those with a single use case on a few nodes to those with large clusters of 100s of nodes–have migrated to MapR from other Hadoop distributions. As a result of moving to the MapR Platform, customers have achieved a three-year return on investment (ROI) of 382% and realized over $20 million in business benefits according to the results of third-party research by IDC1.
“As organizations continue to gain experience with Hadoop, they increasingly look for technologies with the enterprise-grade features they need to deploy mission-critical applications,” said Dave Jespersen, vice president of worldwide services, MapR Technologies. “With this in mind, we created the ‘easy button’ for moving to MapR. We want customers to be able to make the decision to migrate with confidence and use the platform that best fits their needs. The new Quick Start Migration Service is designed to enable enterprises to move their data with minimal impact to applications or workflows.”
The Quick Start Migration Service is also available for organizations currently using a Hadoop distribution but are interested in the new appliance announced by Cisco for SAP HANA that includes the MapR Converged Data Platform. This powerful appliance makes it easier to harness the power of big data, simplify deployment, speed time-to-market, and reduce operational expenses.
Details of Quick Start Migration Service
The new Quick Start Migration Service includes a zero downtime and zero risk-of-data-loss. The migration service maintains operation of the existing distribution while transitioning to MapR. During the migration, MapR unique features around multi-tenancy, security, and application convergence can also be implemented.
Customer Examples
Many organizations have benefited from migrating to MapR, including:
