SequenceIQ will help boost Hortonworks’ position in the Hadoop ecosystem<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hortonworks has acquired SequenceIQ, a Hungary-based startup delivering infrastructure agnostic tools to improve Hadoop deployments. The company said the move will bolster its ability to offer speedy cloud deployments of Hadoop.<\/p>\n

SequenceIQ\u2019s flagship offering, Cloudbreak, is a Hadoop as a Service API for multi-tenant clusters that applies some of the capabilities of Blueprint (which lets you create a Hadoop cluster without having to use the Ambari Cluster Install Wizard) and Periscope (autoscaling for Hadoop YARN) to help speed up deployment of Hadoop on different cloud infrastructures.<\/p>\n

The two companies have partnered extensively in the Hadoop community, and Hortonworks said the move will enhance its position among a growing number of Hadoop incumbents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis acquisition enriches our leadership position by providing technology that automates the launching of elastic Hadoop clusters with policy-based auto-scaling on the major cloud infrastructure platforms including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and OpenStack, as well as platforms that support Docker containers. Put simply, we now provide our customers and partners with both the broadest set of deployment choices for Hadoop and quickest and easiest automation steps,\u201d Tim Hall, vice president of product management at Hortonworks, explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Hortonworks continues to expand globally, the SequenceIQ team further expands our European presence and firmly establishes an engineering beachhead in Budapest. We are thrilled to have them join the Hortonworks team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hall said the company also plans to contribute the Cloudbreak code back into the Apache Foundation sometime this year, though whether it will do so as part of an existing project or standalone one seems yet to be decided.<\/p>\n

Hortonworks\u2019 bread and butter is in supporting enterprise adoption of Hadoop and bringing the services component to the table, but it\u2019s interesting to see the company commit to feeding the Cloudbreak code \u2013 which could, at least temporarily, give it a competitive edge \u2013 back into the ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis move is in line with our belief that the fastest path to innovation is through open source developed within an open community,\u201d Hall explained.<\/p>\n

The big data M&A space has seen more consolidation over the past few months, with Hitachi Data Systems acquiring<\/a> big data and analytics specialist Pentaho and Infosys\u2019 $200m acquisition of Panaya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
