Avnet Enabled Hadoop changes the game for on-premises Hadoop deployments by combining enterprise-class servers, storage, network, OS and Hadoop software into a fully integrated, validated, optimized and tested package. The integrated solution is “power-up” ready to accelerate delivery of Hadoop business value to your organization. IBM BigInsights™ will be the first enterprise Hadoop software platform supported by the Avnet Enabled Hadoop solution. Avnet collaborated with IBM to harden best-practice reference architectures into the Avnet Enabled Hadoop turn-key package.
“Never before have organizations had the opportunity to gain such critical product- and service-differentiating insights from their enterprise data, but unlocking the full potential of this data can consume more IT resources than most businesses can spare,” said John Salemme, vice president and general manager of Avnet Embedded. “Avnet’s integrated delivery and support provides customers with a cost-effective and more user-friendly means of implementing a state-of-the-art big data deployment.”
“Avnet’s unique combination of broad distribution relationships, enterprise integration services, solution support services and reseller ecosystem makes them a great partner to bring turn-key solutions like BigInsights and Avnet Enabled Hadoop together,” said Phil Francisco, vice president, Data Management Products and Strategy, IBM Analytic Platform Group.
Key features of the Avnet Enabled Hadoop include:
- Pre-designed, sized and integrated turn-key package optimized and tested to support Hadoop environments
- Reliable, resilient and enterprise-class server, network, storage, OS and software components
- Fast, seamless, structured and regimented data center delivery, installation and deployment experience
- Single point of contact for procurement, maintenance and support for the entire lifecycle of hardware, OS and software updates
- Bi-annual OS health-checks and IBM BigInsights™ software updates
- Lower overall total cost of ownership compared to build-it-yourself and reference architecture solutions
