Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), a global leader in
cloud-based and on-premises data innovation, enables developers to
quickly harness multi-core servers and clusters to tackle big data
challenges with the release of Pervasive DataRush™ 5.0. The new
version is being announced today by Pervasive executives at the
European Data Innovation Summit in London and at the O’Reilly
Strata Conference in Santa Clara. In addition to its inherent
ability to automatically scale across all cores on mainstream and
monster multi-core servers, Pervasive DataRush now also scales
across clusters, including the ability to accelerate every node in
a Hadoop cluster, offering unmatched speed and economics. Pervasive
DataRush 5.0 also provides easy parallel development capabilities
for programmers in any JVM language, notably Java, Python, JRuby
and Scala.
“We’ve put Pervasive DataRush 5.0 to work inside wukong, our
open source tool for executing Ruby tasks on Hadoop clusters, which
we use to drive Infochimps’ production jobs on Amazon’s EC2,” said
Philip Kromer, CTO at Infochimps. “The result is exactly on-target:
improving computational efficiency means we can get the largest
jobs done using fewer resources in the cloud, which translates to
hard-dollar cost savings.”
“As more and more organizations adopt Hadoop to take on large
scale data challenges, organizations risk wasting resources by
scaling out with inefficient server workloads," said David
Menninger, VP and Research Director, Ventana Research. "Products
like Pervasive DataRush can help increase the efficiency of each
node in a Hadoop cluster to maximize throughput and help harness
ever-growing data volumes.”
For organizations who want high-throughput data preparation and
analytic applications that manipulate massive datasets, Pervasive
DataRush enables rapid development of applications that scale up,
out and over automatically. “The scalability of Pervasive DataRush
applications, which we’ve demonstrated on a single box with up to
384 cores as well as across Hadoop clusters with more than 20
machines, delivers future-proofing and turns on its head the notion
that ‘the free lunch is over,'” said Ray Newmark, vice president of
sales and marketing for Pervasive DataRush. “By taking care of the
daunting details of parallelism, Pervasive DataRush unlocks the
explosive power of multi-core nodes for each compute task, slashing
runtimes and leaving developers time to focus on their crucial
application requirements.”
Using the Intel® Concurrency Checker, designed to evaluate the
performance scaling of applications on multi-core systems,
Pervasive was able to gauge the degree of concurrency achieved and
quantify the effectiveness of their tuning and optimization
efforts. “Pervasive DataRush helps organizations unlock the
powerful parallelism of Intel Xeon processors to take on big-data
challenges,” said J. Scott Harrison, director, Developer and ISV
Scale Programs, Intel Software and Services Group. “Together, Intel
and Pervasive are teaming up to help deliver highly innovative,
scalable solutions to meet customers’ growing needs as they tackle
data processing and analytic bottlenecks with easily accessible
hardware and software.”
Whether searching through logfiles to detect intrusion patterns,
doing fuzzy matching across vast datasets, analyzing data streams
from thousands of industrial sensors, processing patient healthcare
and claims records, or powering a recommender system for ecommerce
sites, Pervasive DataRush blows through performance bottlenecks in
data preparation and analytics. Pervasive DataRush can access data
in a variety of data stores including Hadoop HDFS, data warehouses,
databases and flat files.
