\"Attunity<\/a>At the Strata Conference + Hadoop World (October 15-17) in New York, Attunity introduced Attunity Replicate 4.0, the latest version of their product Replicate. This version is designed to accelerate the adoption of Hadoop by simplifying the process of transferring Big Data in and out the Hadoop platform. This innovation ultimately leverages Attunity\u2019s high performance data replication solutions to reduce the time labor, and cost of implementing and using Hadoop.<\/p>\n

The new version of Replicate is strategically aligned with the growing usage and adoption of the reigning big data platform, Hadoop. What is Hadoop? Most business users have heard of Hadoop, but may not be clear on exactly what it is and why Attunity would want to develop a product that accelerates the adoption of Hadoop. In a tutorial called \u201cWhat is Hadoop<\/a>\u201d, Forrester analyst Mike Gualteri says, \u201cto understand Hadoop, you have to understand two fundamental things about it. They are: How Hadoop stores files, and how it processes data. Imagine you had a file that was larger than your PC’s capacity. You could not store that file, right? Hadoop lets you store files bigger than what can be stored on one particular node or server. So you can store very, very large files. It also lets you store many, many files.”<\/p>\n

So one of Hadoop’s key characteristics is that it can store big data and if that\u2019s the case, it will benefit from Attunity Replicate\u2019s ability to move data with its turbo charged data integration capabilities. Attunity is putting in its\u00a0chips with this new development into a Big Data market that is predicted to be at $100 billion by 2020, and half of this will be driven by Hadoop according to an IDC report. This report also predicts that the size of Hadoop installations are expected to grow precipitously over the next few years as companies implement new data sources and business applications.<\/p>\n

However, when using Hadoop for BI, analytics, and decision-making, implementation challenges exist. In a press release called \u201cAttunity Introduces New Hadoop Solution Designed to Accelerate Adoption of Hadoop and Big Data Movement<\/a>,\u201d Lawrence Schwartz, VP of Marketing at Attunity explains,<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile adoption of Hadoop has continued to grow steadily worldwide, the data integration process is often underestimated and cobbled together, taking significant IT time and resources. However, leading organizations realize Hadoop\u2019s strategic importance to the business and the value it can provide with Big Data analytics. Using the new Attunity Replicate 4.0, enterprises no longer need additional hires or to acquire new skills. Companies can set up and implement the Attunity solution quickly and move Big Data from many different sources into and out of Hadoop with remarkable ease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through the use of Attunity Replicate for Hadoop, organizations can realize the value for Big Data projects and capitalize on larger amounts of data in a more cost effective way. Here are some of the key features of Attunity Replicate 4.0:<\/p>\n
