Combining Informatica and Cisco technologies with Hadoop, the new Data Warehouse Optimization solution enables customers to integrate and analyze more data and types of data, more effectively and economically, with lower risk.

With the growing pace of business and increasing use of mobile devices and industrial sensors, businesses have never had as much opportunity to create competitive edge fueled by data. But enterprises seek simpler solutions for accelerating the deployment of modern data management environments while minimizing risks in the areas of productivity, maintainability and data governance.

The most viable solution is to offload ETL/ELT processing and archive data to Hadoop to free data warehouse resources for higher value tasks.

The Informatica and Cisco Data Warehouse Optimization solution helps minimize the risks of transitioning from traditional systems to Hadoop for faster integration and preparation of greater volumes and more varieties of data.

The Data Warehouse Optimization solution works with a customer’s Apache Hadoop distribution of choice, including Cloudera, Hortonworks and MapR. The solution provides a complete software, networking and computing infrastructure for utilizing big data in all its varieties.

“The Data Warehouse Optimization solution is about enabling organizations to more easily leverage all their data assets – current and historical, transaction and interaction – for more effective analytics while reducing their data management costs,” said Mike Flannagan, vice president and general manager of Data and Analytics at Cisco. “More than the sum of its parts, the solution’s Cisco and Informatica elements work synergistically to meet the demands of big data, to respond quickly to changing information needs, and to deliver insights that drive increased competitiveness and business innovation.”
