Enjoy the beauty of Hadoop cluster deployment and simple management
For a developer and system administrator, dealing with Hadoop is pretty well known as a challenge or more simply put a pain in the neck
Think about this. As a Hadoop-based application developer or a Hadoop system administrator, what is a reasonable amount of time for you to get a 10-node Hadoop cluster up and running? Would it be three days, one day, three hours, or maybe one hour?
Etu Appliance guarantees as short as ten minutes.
Imagine a product designed for running Hadoop jobs that enables you to process big data on the same cluster scale with a five-fold leap in performance every day compared to current systems. Would it not make more sense to have your system capable of satisfying your users by replacing the existing application system with one that offers instantaneous access to it?
Etu Appliance is characterized as a high-performance product offering a computing capacity that is three to twelve times more powerful than those self-installed ones.
Are you still trying to figure out a solution for Hadoop Name Node High Availability? In reality, the job has been done with a broader built-in HA that covers the whole cluster system: computing, storage, host, network services, security mechanisms, network interfaces, all beyond a Hadooper’s imagination of HA.
Etu Appliance sets a new benchmark for the reliability of a Hadoop system.
In regards to storage and computing of Big Data, how does one get the full benefit of an emphasized multi-tenancy in cloud computing? Imagine achieving the goal of authenticating and authorizing different users and applications to access segmented data.
Etu Appliance incorporates a highly integrated Kerberos and LDAP as an ingenious information artisan to guarantee multi-tenant security.
As a business grows a Hadoop cluster should ideally be able to scale-out accordingly. Imagine you have a 50-node cluster that needs a system adjustment overhaul, parameter optimization, and software maintenance. How many hosts do you have to connect to and how many command lines are needed to accomplish this task?
Etu Appliance boosts first call resolution with one GUI and one URL.
Benefits
01 Staff can do their Hadoop-related jobs respectively and make progress all together, which improves professional performance.
When it comes to storage and computing for multi-structured big data, neither developers nor system administrators are free from taxing Hadoop Ecosystem problems. These challenges range from software stacks that are unfavorable to installation, to difficulty in managing system and applications, to not knowing the right way to reach optimization, and etc. Etu Appliance saves time for developers and system administrators, which is literally improving the performance of your professionals through efficiency.
02 More confidence in Mission Critical Big Data computing.
Etu Appliance recognizes the Full System HA, enabling enterprises to feel more at ease and gain a peace of mind in knowing that the relatively more crucial Big Data computing tasks can be shifted to a Hadoop platform that will continuously extract value from multi-structured Big Data.
03 A Big Data PaaS is ready for a full run.
Etu Appliance’s centralized Web-based Management Console functions as a PaaS user portal for enterprises and internet service providers that deserve the best application platform solution to erect both public and private clouds. Besides simplifying Hadoop cluster management, companies can achieve enterprise-level multi-tenant authentication, authorization, and meet major requirements in self-service, security, scalability, and stability.
04 Ability to access and compute accumulated data repeatedly, which can offer unlimited commercial value.
This platform is characterized of having a high level of openness, allowing it to have multiple applications run on it. As time goes by, the data that has been saved in an Etu Appliance cluster will increase the value of your business.
05 Performance doubles, TCO drops
To focus on performance optimization we start from the distinctive operating system and then continue forward throughout the whole system. Etu Appliance compliments Hadoop and takes advantage of the features such as parallel computing architecture and linear scalability. Compared to general Hadoop platforms, the adoption of an Etu Appliance cluster reduces the number of nodes undertaking computing tasks, which significantly cuts down on an enterprise’s CAPEX and management costs.
The differences between an Etu Appliance and a general Hadoop platform
Etu Appliance |
General Hadoop Platform |
|
| Operating System | Etu OS is specialized for running Hadoop jobs. | General Linux distributions. |
| Computing Performance | Offers an increase in computing performance 3 to 12 times higher than a general Hadoop platform through a full system optimization. | General system with a non-calibrated computing performance. |
| Data Acquisition | An Etu Log Collector carries the capability of receiving UDP packets higher than 60,000 EPS per node, along with an accuracy rate of more than 99.99%. | General data collection performance without optimization. |
| Cluster Deployment | One-click deployment, meaning it has the ability to get deployment and setup finished for more than 100 Worker Nodes from bare metal to up and running within 10 minutes while giving attention to a HA system architecture. | Requires manual installation of an operating system for each node before the installation of a Hadoop Ecosystem software stack, and then configured to run. |
| Distinctive Network Design | Combines the multi-interface bandwidth that allows for HA. | General network lacks in design for performance and fault tolerance. |
| High Availability Architecture | The built-in full system HA is highly integrated covering from computing, storage, host, network services, security mechanisms, network interfaces, and etc. to avoid a single point of failure in all aspects. | Generally, a Hadoop Name Node HA mechanism is provided and users are required to carry out many detailed steps, which might lead to a high failure rate. |
| Multi-tenant Security | The built-in Kerberos and LDAP fully meet the requirements of an enterprise-level multi-tenant platform authentication and authorization. | Assumedly, Kerberos architecture is established, which users are required to implement through a lengthy and complicated process. |
| Cluster Management | A web-based graphical user interface that designates central management and settings across nodes in cluster. | A root access is needed to enter each node to manage the host system. |
