Red Hat Helps Power Big Data’s Future with SAP® Vora™ on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Combination of enterprise-grade Kubernetes and in-memory data
analysis engine helps to build integrated big data landscapes
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the availability of the SAP® Vora™ solution
on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, an integrated solution that
pairs enterprise-grade Kubernetes with actionable big data insights. The
combined technologies help enterprises to orchestrate data of nearly any
volume, velocity, and variety to drive faster and smarter business
decisions as a component of a consolidated, enterprise big data hub.
SAP Vora on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is a continuation of
the strong collaboration between Red Hat and SAP to support a variety of
enterprise applications and big data scenarios. Running on Kubernetes
clusters and Linux containers powered by OpenShift, SAP Vora provides
containerized analytics engines and services and collects big data via
Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, and directly from cloud environments to use
for actionable business intelligence. Red Hat OpenShift delivers a
scalable platform upon which these capabilities can run, integrating
containerized services and SAP Vora resources for a unified, flexible
offering.
Key features of the integrated offering include:
-
On-demand in-memory big data analytics
-
Easier management of big data analytics at scale
-
Easier integration of SAP Vora with SAP HANA
-
Better support for agile development around big data use cases
SAP Vora provides interactive analytics on stored data from various
sources, including traditional storage, Hadoop, and Amazon Simple
Storage Service (Amazon S3). It helps enterprises more easily package
analysis from disparate data types with a common interface, easy-to-use
modeling tools, and access to SAP HANA. This can provide deeper insights
based on relevant information from across a business’s big data
landscape.
Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform unites developers and IT operations
on a single platform to build, deploy, and manage applications
consistently across hybrid- and multi-cloud infrastructures. Red Hat
OpenShift helps businesses achieve greater value by delivering modern
and traditional applications with shorter development cycles and lower
operating costs. Red Hat OpenShift is built on open source innovation
and industry standards, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
Kubernetes, and is trusted by companies of all sizes around the world.
Red Hat Developer Program for SAP Software applications
Additionally, to help support the stable, consistent creation of
applications using components of SAP HANA and the SAP NetWeaver®
technology platforms, Red Hat is now making its newly-launched Red Hat
Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions available as part of the Red Hat
Developer Program. Accessible through a no-cost subscription, developers
can take advantage of the world’s leading enterprise Linux platform to
build their next-generation applications for big data workloads.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions on IBM Power Systems
To help address customer interest in Red Hat solutions on multiple
architectures, today Red Hat is also making Red Hat Enterprise Linux for
