Nov. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Hortonworks, Inc. ® (NASDAQ: HDP), a leading innovator

capabilities of Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP®) with
both hourly and annual billing options available on the AWS
Marketplace.
Businesses' demand for real-time decision making, gaining a
competitive advantage and manageable costs are fueling three

data architecture approach addresses each trend by giving

pay-as-you-go billing model.
- The fastest onramp to running the most common Apache Hadoop,
Apache Spark and Apache Hive workloads in the cloud.
- A highly-prescriptive experience configured and pre-tuned for
the most popular use cases (data science and exploration, data
preparation and ETL, data analytics and reporting) enabling data
scientists, developers and end users to be more productive.
- More time to focus on processing and deriving value from data
and less time configuring and operating data platform
infrastructure.
