HP revamps Its Vertica Community Edition

To enable organizations to test drive Big Data analytics without cost or commitment, HP has announced availability of a free full-feature version of the HP Vertica Analytics Platform for up to a full terabyte of data.
 
While organizations recognize the potential for insights to be extracted from Big Data, they want to make sure there is value in the information analyzed. To help clients determine the benefits of analyzing their Big Data before deploying an enterprise wide solution, HP is offering the new HP Vertica Community Edition. This free, downloadable software solution delivers the same functionality as HP Vertica Analytics Platform Enterprise Edition with no commitments or time limits.
 
Organizations want to make sure they can analyze and monetize Big Data before committing to a major investment. The updated HP Vertica Community Edition allows them to test drive a next-generation analytics platform, gain insight from Big Data, and understand the real ROI of the project, said Amit Chatterjee, Country Director, HP Software India.
 
Enhancements to the HP Vertica Community Edition enable clients to gain insights from Big Data with a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) connector that speeds data loading and ensures seamless native integration between HDFS and the HP Vertica Analytics Platform.
 
HP Vertica Community Edition is available as free download.
