Today the EMC Federation announced a new hardware and software solution that enables businesses to deploy big data at scale, quickly and securely, across the enterprise, the Federation Business Data Lake (FBDL). The Federation consists of EMC Information Infrastructure (EMC II), VMware, Pivotal, VCE, and RSA. The Data Lake is a new solution from EMC, Pivotal, and VMware.
With tons of information pouring in at all times, organizations need a way to leverage Big Data Analytics in order to gain critical insights. Effectively utilizing Big Data runs into significant process and technical challenges. The FBDL aims at enabling organizations to realize the value of analytics in little as one week as opposed to months. Businesses will be able to ingest, store, analyze, surface, and act on Big Data. The FBDL is designed for speed, self-service, and scalability for the enterprise, and the ability to apply analytics to Big Data will help companies of all sizes make more informed decisions that could lead to real-time insights, better efficiencies, and new revenue streams.
Much like the cross-federation enterprise cloud solution and the Software-Defined Data Center solution, EMC, Pivotal, and VMware have worked together to eliminate integration barriers for seamless integration and interoperability with top analytics platforms such as SAS and Tableu. The FBDL also allows customers the choice of Hadoop distribution including Cloudera and Hortonworks. The new Data Lake recommends data based on past behaviors and offers it up in a consumable way, which is ideal for customers new to Big Data or those looking to scale existing investments. The FBDL will also work closely with third party technology as well as having one number for support regardless of the hardware being used.
