Enterprises in need of an architecture for Hadoop clusters to decouples the compute and storage tiers
About IBM Analytics Engine
IBM Analytics Engine provides an architecture for Hadoop clusters that decouples the compute and storage tiers. Instead of a permanent cluster formed of dual-purpose nodes, the Analytics Engine allows users to store data in an object storage layer such as IBM Cloud Object Storage and spins up clusters of computing notes when needed. Separating compute from storage helps to transform the flexibility, scalability and maintainability of big data analytics platforms. Build on an ODPi compliant stack with pioneering data science tools with the broader Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark ecosystem. Define clusters based on your application's requirements. Choose the appropriate software pack, version, and size of the cluster. Use as long as required and delete as soon as an application finishes jobs. Configure clusters with third-party analytics libraries and packages. Deploy workloads from IBM Cloud services like machine learning.
