Attunity Releases Big Data Solution

Attunity Ltd., a software solution provider, has released Managed File Transfer (MFT) for Hadoop. The new generation enterprise data transfer solution is designed to accelerate big data collection processes and integrate them seamlessly into and out of Hadoop, the open-source programming framework for large-scale data processing.

Attunity says that, building on the proven and enterprise-scale capabilities of MFT, the solution empowers organizations to collect and transfer big data in both the cloud and enterprise data centers for strategic initiatives including log and machine-data analytics, business intelligence (BI), and data archiving.

As volumes of business data continue to increase, organizations are adopting Hadoop to store, manage, and process big data, says Attunity. However, like other big data projects, IT organizations are struggling to move the data for BI and analytics. Similarly, organizations that are seeing Hadoop as a lower cost alternative for archiving run into the same big data movement challenges.

Attunity says MFT for Hadoop is designed to overcome the big data bottleneck by providing an enterprise-scale gateway to the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), a distributed file system that enables scalable storage and processing of “internet-scale” big data. The Attunity solution facilitates the process of transferring data to HDFS by providing automation, scheduling, security and auditing.
