Complexity remains the main barrier for adoption of Big Data technologies like Hadoop and Spark. Blue Data's software innovations makes it easier to deploy Big Data infrastructure and applications, leveraging Docker containers in order to provide self-service BDaaS experiences on the premises, together with the highest levels of security and performance for Big Data analytics in the enterprise.
Nik Rouda, senior analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group, states,
“Most enterprise Big Data deployments today require an army of data scientists, application developers, and data architects along with IT infrastructure teams for the required servers, storage, networking, and security. It shouldn’t be so hard. Blue Data helps hide all of the complexity of Big Data from the user, while making it much simpler and easier to deploy the applications and infrastructure they need in a secure multi-tenant architecture.”
