The data services built by this team are used across business and engineering teams who submit tens of thousands of jobs, queries and ad hoc analysis requests every day. Thusoo and Sen Sarma applied their experiences and learnings to create the industry\u2019s next generation big data platform for the cloud. With Qubole, organizations can literally begin uncovering new insights from their structured and unstructured data sources within minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe a new approach is needed &#8211; one that hides the complexity associated with storing and managing data and instead provides a fast, easy path to analysis and insights for business analysts, data scientists and data engineers,\u201d said Joydeep Sen Sarma, Co-Founder of Qubole. \u201cWe gained significant experience helping a web-scale company build and manage a complex Big Data platform. We don\u2019t want our customers to worry about choosing a flavor of Hadoop, or spinning up clusters, or trying to optimize performance. Qubole will manage all of that so that users can focus on their data and their algorithms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-10553\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Qubole Auto-Scaling Big Data Platform for the Cloud Benefits Include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Fastest Path to Big Data Analytics \u2013<br \/>\nQubole handles all infrastructure complexities behind the scenes so<br \/>\nusers can begin doing ad hoc analysis and creating data pipelines<br \/>\nusing SQL and MapReduce within minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Scalability \u201cOn the Fly\u201d \u2013 Qubole<br \/>\nfeatures the industry\u2019s first auto-scaling Hadoop clusters so users<br \/>\ncan get the right amount of computing power for each and every project.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Fast Query Authoring Tools &#8211; Qubole<br \/>\nprovides fast access to sample data so that queries can be authored<br \/>\nand validated quickly.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Fastest Hadoop and Hive Service in the Cloud<br \/>\n\u2013 Using advanced caching and query acceleration techniques, Qubole has<br \/>\ndemonstrated query speeds up to five times faster than other<br \/>\nCloud-based Hadoop solutions.<\/li>\n<li class=\"bwlistitemmargb\">Quick Connection to Data &#8211; Qubole<br \/>\nprovides mechanisms to work with data sets stored in any format in<br \/>\nAmazon S3.

Applications hosted in the Cloud are much easier to use and manage, especially for companies without very large IT organizations. While Software as a Service (SaaS) is now the standard for many different types of applications, it has not yet been made easy for companies to use the Cloud to convert their ever-increasing volume and variety of data into useful business and product insights. Qubole makes it much easier and faster for companies to analyze and process more of their Big Data, and they will benefit tremendously,\u201d said Ashish Thusoo, Co-Founder of Qubole.<\/p>\n<p>To join the early access program, please visit www.qubole.com. Qubole is looking to add a select number of companies for early access to its service, with the intention of making the service more generally available in Q4 2012. People interested in seeing a demo of the platform can visit Qubole at the Hadoop Summit June 13 \u2013 14 at the San Jose Convention Center, kiosk #B11.<\/p>\n<div class=\"zemanta-pixie\" style=\"margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zemanta-pixie-img\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/img.zemanta.com\/pixy.gif?x-id=1923651c-ae3d-479d-a370-98e92870e0ee\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Hnq_FLdPnHFWh2aAXLR7A3mFmsE\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Hnq_FLdPnHFWh2aAXLR7A3mFmsE\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Hnq_FLdPnHFWh2aAXLR7A3mFmsE\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~a\/Hnq_FLdPnHFWh2aAXLR7A3mFmsE\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/CloudNewsDaily\/~4\/Tvq0PthPM98\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company Led by Former Facebook Data Infrastructure Leaders, Longtime        Hadoop Contributors and Creators of Apache Hive     PALO ALTO, Calif.&#8211;(BUSINESS WIRE)&#8211;Qubole, provider of the first auto-scaling Big Data platform for the        Clou&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[286,477,156,289,290,342],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-apache-hadoop","category-apache-hive","category-big-data","category-bigdata","category-hadoop","category-mapreduce"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2016\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icloud.pe\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
