MapR has announced the availability of its MapR Converged Data Platform in the CenturyLink Cloud Marketplace. With CenturyLink’s new Blueprint for MapR, joint customers would be able to quickly and easily deploy a cloud configuration leveraging Hadoop, Spark and other big data technologies for managing, analyzing and acting on data in real-time.
Server provisioning, OS and software configuration, as well as application installation are all scripted into CenturyLink Cloud Blueprints. CenturyLink’s orchestration software would make it easy for customers to deploy solutions, reducing operational support costs and speeding time to implementation. Joint customers can now deploy a MapR configuration in the cloud in a couple of clicks.
The MapR Converged Data Platform would ensure production success with an architecture designed specifically for business-critical applications, seamless data access and integration, and the ability to run both operational and analytical processing and applications in real-time, reliably on one platform.
“Open-source software is a vital part of any cloud native workload, especially for analytical workloads at scale,” said David Shacochis, vice president of platform enablement, CenturyLink. “We’re excited about the value MapR brings to our customers with its converged data management platform – packaging open-source technologies like Spark and Hadoop into an enterprise-ready solution. It’s easy for CenturyLink users to get started with new open-source technologies on the CenturyLink Cloud Marketplace, and MapR is a great example of our growing software ecosystem.”
