“The MapR Distribution and Cisco UCS serve as the infrastructure for our cloud-based data services,” said Brad Anderson, vice president, big data informatics, Liaison Technologies – a global data management and integration provider. “The combined solution provides unparalleled high-performance and reliability that gives us the agility to effectively help our customers leverage massive amounts of data to impact business ‘as it happens.’”
MapR is used by more than 700 customers across financial services, government, healthcare, internet, manufacturing, media, retail and telecommunications as well as by leading Global 2000 and Web 2.0 companies. Amazon, Cisco, Google, Teradata and HP are part of the broad MapR partner ecosystem.
