The leading provider of cloud computing, Amazon Web Services, in addition to its Elastic MapReduce service, which processes large amounts of data using the same technology, has launched a new section of its store. This section is called Big Data . The Big Data category on the AWS Marketplace presents several types of products. The first type is databases and everything related to them:
Acunu Reflex - Apache Cassandra NoSQL database.
Couchbase - Community and enterprise editions NoSQL.
MongoDB - NoSQL database with and without EBS RAID storage.
ScaleArc - MySQL load balancing.
HANA One - In-memory real time data analysis.
Software for processing large amounts of data is represented by the following programs:
MapR M5 - Optimized Apache Hadoop distribution.
TreasureData - Hadoop based cloud data warehousing.
Metamarkets - Event based data processing.
Quantivo - Data association analytics.
KarmaSphere - Analytics workspace for Amazon Elastic MapReduce.
On AWS Marketplace, you can purchase (or get free) images with pre-installed software.
Do you use any of the above software? MongoDB and Couchbase - pretty big names, but something else? Who handles big data in the clouds?
