A new release of HP Vertica will feature data streaming and advanced log file text search to power high-speed analytics on Internet of Things (IoT) data.
HP has also added support for and contributions to open source technologies, including optimised Hadoop performance, integration with the Apache Kafka distributed messaging system, and advancements in Distributed R predictive analytics.
HP has further introduced the HP Haven Startup Accelerator programme, which provides early-stage companies with fast, affordable access to both HP big data and application delivery management software and services.
The announcements further accelerate HP’s big data strategy, which is focused on enabling organisations to harness data of all types, including emerging forms such IoT device data, leveraging important new open source projects, and providing developers and early stage companies with the tools they need to become data driven organisations.
“Developers are the new heroes of the Idea Economy,” said Darren Ong, Vice President, Big Data Platform, HP Software, Asia Pacific and Japan. “HP is uniquely positioned to help businesses and developers thrive in this new world. Through our Haven and Haven OnDemand platforms, we are empowering these heroes to transform their business through data, by allowing them to harness the value of all forms of information, rapidly connect and apply open source, and quickly access the tools they need to build winning businesses.”

The new version of HP Vertica (codenamed Excavator), which HP says is the industry’s fastest SQL database, will feature:
· Native support for the Apache Kafka open source distributed messaging system to enable organisations to quickly ingest and analyse high-speed streaming data, including from the IoT, in near real-time. This capability could potentially deliver actionable insight for use cases in manufacturing process control, supply chain optimisation, healthcare monitoring, financial risk management, and fraud detection.
· The ability to collect and index large log file data sets, which could help IT organisations quickly identify and predict application failures and cyber attacks, and investigate authorised and unauthorised access.
HP also combined open source innovation with the enterprise-scale, reliability, and security of HP’s Big Data platform through new features for HP Vertica:
· HP Vertica for SQL on Hadoop native file support – the new version of Vertica brings significant increase in performance on popular Hadoop formats like ORC and Parquet. Specifically, HP worked collaboratively with Hortonworks to develop a new high-performance access layer that enables SQL queries to run directly on ORC files, resulting in a 5x increase in execution times.
· HP Vertica Flex Zone Table Library – HP has open sourced its innovative Flex Table “schema on-need” technology to the global developer community. With this move, organisations will be able to fully harness virtually any form of semi-structured data to meet their unique needs.
· Native integration with Apache Spark – HP announced its future commitment to integrate Vertica with Apache Spark. This will enable accelerated data transfer between Vertica and Spark, allowing organisations to take full advantage of their Spark-based deployments. This future capability will enable the developer community to build their models in Spark and run them in Vertica for high-speed and sophisticated analytics.
"Together, Hortonworks and HP have jointly teamed to take big data analytical performance to the next level by combining the comprehensive, high-performance analytics of HP Vertica for SQL on Hadoop with the Hortonworks Data Platform,” said Matt Morgan, VP of product and alliance marketing at Hortonworks. “We've seen firsthand how organisations are looking for this class of modern architecture to power the next-generation of real-time analytics applications. This is proof of our commitment with HP to address the business and technology needs of our customers and the broader big data marketplace.”
The new HP Haven Startup Accelerator is designed to support and expand HP’s ecosystem of developers and innovators by making HP big data and application delivery management software products accessible to early-stage companies. The programme removes traditional barriers for organisations looking to leverage analytics and data to build powerful, differentiated applications. Qualified participants will benefit from the following programme components:
· Free usage of the community versions of HP IDOL and HP Vertica
· Premium version of HP IDOL and HP Vertica with attractive pricing
· HP Application Delivery Management tools including HP Agile Manager, HP LeanFT, and HP LoadRunner.
HP also announced a framework of technology and best practices to accelerate the development of next-generation analytical applications. This framework extends the HP Haven Big Data Platform with quick-start visualisation, syndicated data feeds, open on premise and cloud-based APIs. This enables HP Professional Services and HP partners to quickly deliver a range of solutions, such as voice of customer, smart cities, and fraud detection.
HP’s hardware platforms for big data include HP ProLiant DL380 clusters, purpose-built Apollo 4510, 4530 and 4200 compute and storage servers, and HP’s asymmetric Big Data Reference Architecture. These systems enable customers to optimise their big data workloads.
