Bigstep and Datameer have announced that Datameer Professional will be available for enterprises in the Bigstep Full Metal Cloud.
The partnership will create direct access to a big data insights platform which has been built for Hadoop and is available as a service in the bare metal cloud.
The partnership will create quick access to data analytics, with each installation delivered in a dedicated bare metal environment which will be similar to on-premise deployments but benefit from the elasticity of the cloud.
Stefan Groschupf, CEO of Datameer, said: "Datameer Professional is the accelerant the market has needed for individual departments within an organisation to stop talking about the benefits of big data and Hadoop and start realising them immediately."
"Now companies that want to gain a competitive advantage with big data analytics right away can simply purchase Datameer Professional running on a HaaS offering in the Bigstep Full Metal Cloud and discover actionable insights in hours, even minutes, instead of months."
"We believe that this will catapult Hadoop adoption to a new level as businesses discover shared success between departments and discover new use cases, encouraging the entire company to become data-driven."
Hadoop is increasingly being adopted by enterprises due to its ability to leverage analytical insights from unexplored data sets, rather than empirical data.
Flaviu Radulesco, CEO of Bigstep, said: "Hadoop has captured the imagination of many, yet adoption is still limited. This is due to the perceived difficulties in time and expense required to deploy Hadoop in a traditional way.
"By bringing Datameer to our Full Metal Cloud, a business can be running big data analytics on the world’s fastest cloud in a matter of minutes. Hadoop adoption has never been so easy."
"Bigstep’s Full Metal Cloud is the only purpose built cloud provider for big data, providing access to powerful data analytics in a high performance, secure, and scalable environment, with all the benefits of the elasticity of the cloud.
"Now, together with Datameer, we are bringing the value of big data to executives who have not yet been able to implement a full enterprise deployment, but who realise the positive impact big data insights can have."
