Syncsort and Appfluent Partner
Appfluent Technology, Inc. has been selected by Syncsort, a global leader in Big Data integration solutions, as a premier technology partner. Customers of both companies are embracing Hadoop as one of the most cost effective ways to leverage data from legacy mainframe and enterprise data management systems, making it available for business intelligence and analysis. Syncsort and Appfluent’s combined solution helps achieve this goal by addressing data warehouse rationalization ─ a leading use case for Hadoop.
“Companies are embracing Big Data Analytics powered by Hadoop as an imperative to sustain and extend their competitive advantage,” said Josh Rogers, president, Syncsort. “As early adopters create their Hadoop infrastructures, they are realizing there is a significant cost savings available to those who can move data and processing from their data warehouse and mainframe to Hadoop. Appfluent’s ability to provide the insight needed to identify data and processing that can free up precious warehouse resources, combined with Syncsort’s unique competency to move data and processing to Hadoop, allows customers to confidently execute highly efficient and cost effective warehouse rationalization programs."
Appfluent’s Visibility software shows companies which of their data and transformations are absorbing valuable data warehouse space and processing, and thereby are most suitable to move to Hadoop ─ a more economical option. Appfluent data usage analytics software delivers deep-dive visibility into systems, so enterprises can slash rising data warehouse costs and proactively manage business intelligence performance, while unlocking the value of Hadoop.
With the recent release of DMX-h, Syncsort delivers a native, Hadoop-based Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) and data migration solution. Because of its native integration with Hadoop’s Map Reduce framework, DMX-h allows customer to both lower the skill level for Hadoop development, and significantly improves cluster performance. This powerful combination of benefits is unique in the industry and is critical for supporting the requirements of warehouse rationalization programs.
The Syncsort-Appfluent partnership is has the goal of providing customers with a path to migrate from an expensive extraction, load, and transform (ELT) model to Syncsort’s ‘smart’ Hadoop ETL model, providing broader access to the widest range of data. This emerging approach leverages lower cost Hadoop resources against the right transformation candidates that are driving up costs and reducing performance of the enterprise data warehouse. The intelligence provided by Appfluent enables customers to identify the most expensive processing and transformations tied to less valuable analytics, less active users, and dormant data as ideal candidates for Hadoop. Syncsort’s DMX-h allows customers to easily migrate the data and processing identified by Appfluent.
