Hitachi develops open source software based big data analytics technology to increase speed by up to 100 times
Overview of the technology developed
Hitachi today announced the development of the technology increasing the speed of big data analytics on an open source software Hadoop-based distributed data processing platform ("Hadoop platform") by a maximum of 100 times that of a conventional system. This technology converts data processing procedure generated for software processing in conventional Hadoop data processing, to that optimized for parallel processing on hardware, to enable high-speed processing of various types of data in FPGA.
As a result, less number of servers will be needed when conducting high-speed big data analytics, thus minimizing IT investment while enabling interactive analytics by data scientists, quick on-site business decision making, and other timely information services.
