Sept. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- Radoop today announced that its big data analytics tool is now certified on CDH4 (Cloudera’s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop Version 4). The combination of Cloudera and Radoop software products provide a seamless experience for its customers to gain previously unknown insights from big data.

CDH is the world’s most widely deployed distribution of Apache Hadoop in commercial and non-commercial environments. Today, more than half of the Fortune 50 run open source Apache Hadoop based on Cloudera. With tens of thousands of nodes in production, Cloudera has established itself as the category leader that is setting the standard for Apache Hadoop in the enterprise. CDH4 is a 100-percent open source distribution that combines Apache Hadoop with other open source applications within the Hadoop stack to deliver advanced, enterprise-grade features.

“We put a great emphasis on making our products interoperable with all major Hadoop distributions.” said Zoltan Prekopcsak, co-founder and CEO of Radoop. “Becoming a Cloudera Certified Technology is a huge step in this direction”.

The Radoop product line includes Radoop Standard Edition, which is powered by RapidMiner, the most popular open-source data mining tool, and it provides a simple and flexible data flow interface for defining big data analytics processes. It integrates with existing Hadoop clusters and works seamlessly with many different Hadoop distributions. Radoop Enterprise Edition is further powered by RapidAnalytics, an open-source analytics server that adds user management, collaboration and process sharing for analysts, scheduled execution of analysis processes, and web access to reports and results.

The Cloudera Certified Technology program, which Radoop has joined, makes it simpler for Apache Hadoop technology buyers to purchase the right cluster components and software applications to extract the most value from their data. Clusters that leverage CDH4 alongside Cloudera Certified Technologies such as, Radoop, operate with reduced risk and lower total cost of ownership. Cloudera Certified Technologies have been tested and validated to use supported APIs and to comply with Cloudera development guidelines for integration with Apache Hadoop.

“Building a cluster from the ground up to run an Apache Hadoop cluster can be challenging. There are numerous choices to be made at all levels of the stack, and making those choices can be very complicated. The Cloudera Certified Technology program is designed to make those choices easy and reliable,” said Tim Stevens, Vice President of Corporate and Business Development, Cloudera. “We’re committed to helping enterprises achieve the most from their Big Data initiatives, and we’re pleased that Radoop has completed certification of it’s big data analytics tool on CDH4.”
