Talend tackles big data with Apache Hadoop

Hadoop Support Available from Industry's Leading Open Source Data Integration Provider

LOS ALTOS, Calif. - June 29, 2010 - Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data management software, today announced the immediate availability of Hadoop-based integration for Big Data via its enterprise platform, Talend Integration Suite. Talend Integration Suite is the first enterprise open source data integration solution to natively support Hadoop's distributed computing architecture for high performance and highly scalable data integration.

Enterprises are faced with challenges in handling ever increasing amounts of data. These problems, related to volume and usage demands, have forced IT managers and developers to seek out solutions such as Apache Hadoop for Big Data processing to effectively manage this data explosion. Hadoop, an open source software platform, has quickly become the technology of choice for large organizations in need of sophisticated analysis and transformation of petabytes of structured and complex data. With Talend Integration Suite's native support of Hadoop, users can now access, manipulate and store huge volumes of data in Hadoop and benefit from high-performance, cost-optimized data integration with ultimate scalability.

Cloudera, which offers an enterprise-grade, commercial data platform built on Apache Hadoop, anticipates that Talend's support of Hadoop will have a significant impact on adoption of the platform. “As a leader in data management, we view Talend as a key partner that will be integral in getting Hadoop adopted by enterprises,” said Doug Cutting, Cloudera architect and founder of the Hadoop project. “Talend's support of Hadoop provides an easy way for our joint enterprise customers to leverage the power of Cloudera's Distribution for Hadoop for scalable integration and analysis of structured and complex data.”

Talend Integration Suite is an enterprise platform designed to help organizations attain the highest levels of data integration performance. It offers native support for both Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to provide access to Hadoop data and Hive, the database infrastructure built on top of Hadoop, for structured and complex data processing. Talend Integration Suite leverages Hadoop's MapReduce architecture for highly distributed data processing. Talend's Hadoop components generate native Hadoop code and run data transformations directly inside the Hive database for maximum scalability. This solution makes it easy for customers to combine Hadoop-based integration with traditional data integration processes-either ETL or ELT-based-for superior overall performance.

“Apache Hadoop has rapidly become a model reference for highly scalable and cost-effective data analysis and transformation, proven by its early enterprise-wide success,” said Fabrice Bonan, co-founder and COO, Talend. “Talend's native Hadoop support now allows our customers to tap into this powerful architecture for processing massive data volumes. This clearly exemplifies Talend's capacity for advancement and its leadership role in the data management market, while demonstrating the strength of the open source standard as a significant driver of innovation.”

Talend Integration Suite with Apache Hadoop support is available immediately.
