Data Management and Analytics

Apache Hadoop

Apache Hadoop is an open-source framework for distributed storage and processing of large datasets using commodity hardware. Hadoop enables businesses to derive insights quickly from massive amounts of structured and unstructured data.

Elastisearch

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine designed to address diverse search use cases. It allows you to perform and combine multiple search types, including:

Structured searches
Unstructured searches
Geospatial searches
Metric-based searches

Elasticsearch provides flexibility to query data in any format to meet analytical and operational requirements.

MemSQL

MemSQL is a distributed, relational database built for mixed workloads, supporting both transactions and real-time analytics at scale. MemSQL can ingest, store, and analyze data simultaneously to deliver real-time insights for use cases such as:

User segmentation
Personalization
Risk analysis

MemSQL delivers up-to-the-second insights, enabling businesses to act on live data efficiently.
