Big Blue lands on another Big Data treasure and in this case it's an advanced navigator tool for Big Data analytics.
IBM said today (2012.04.25) that it is buying Vivisimo, a privately
held company based in Pittsburgh that helps organizations find and
analyze large amounts of data. The acquisition reflects IBM's big data analytics initiatives with advanced
federated capabilities allowing organizations to access, navigate, and analyze
the full variety, velocity and volume of structured and unstructured data
without having to move it.
Vivisimo software excels in capturing and delivering quality information
across the broadest range of data sources, no matter what format it is, or where
it resides. The software automates the discovery of data and helps employees
navigate it with a single view across the enterprise, providing valuable
insights that drive better decision-making for solving all operational
challenges.
IBM estimates that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created
every day. It said the research group IDC estimates the market for big
data technology and services will grow 40 percent annually to reach
$16.9 billion by 2015.
IBM's big data platform is based on open source Apache Hadoop. The platform
makes it easier for data-intensive applications to manage and analyze petabytes
of big data by providing clients with an integrated approach to analytics,
helping them turn information into insights for improved business outcomes.
IBM is also expanding its big data platform to run on other distributions of
Hadoop, beginning with Cloudera. Cloudera is a top contributor to the Hadoop
development community, and an early provider of Hadoop-based systems to clients
across a broad range of industries including financial services, government,
telecommunications, media, retail, energy and healthcare. As a result, Cloudera
Hadoop clients can now take advantage of IBM's big data platform to perform
complex analytics and build a new generation of software applications.
In a blog posted on Vivisimo's website, chief-scientist and co-founder Jerome Pesenti wrote:"I am honored to announce that Vivisimo has signed a definitive agreement to be
acquired by IBM. Over the past 12 years, the Vivisimo team has been dedicated to
building an amazing product, helping customers extract tremendous value out of
their information. We can be proud of what we have accomplished and IBM’s
decision to acquire us is a remarkable validation."
