Actuate Corporation is partnering with VMware to provide a cost-effective way for companies to gain insight from any source of Big Data in hybrid cloud environments, by deploying seamless, dynamic and accessible business information solutions. <\/span><\/p>\n

ActuateOne<\/em> is designed to support private, public and SaaS (software as a service) cloud deployments by eliminating the need for hard-coded configuration, thereby enabling fast and easy deployment with VMware solutions. VMware solutions provide multiple benefits to IT administrators and users. VMware virtualization creates a layer of abstraction between the resources required by an application and operating system, and the underlying hardware that provides those resources.<\/p>\n

Customers can extend the reliability and agility offered by the new VMware vFabric\u2122 Data Director\u2122 to their virtualized ActuateOne cluster, by provisioning and managing the data sources visualized in an Actuate dashboard as well as the vFabric Postgres database that manages the Encyclopedia Volumes of that ActuateOne deployment. This multi-layered coupling of ActuateOne upon VMware simplifies IT management tasks, while ensuring the highest levels of mission-critical availability, security and scalability for any Actuate \/ VMware deployment.<\/p>\n

\u201cActuate\u2019s technology scales linearly across any number of virtual instances, interfacing well with VMware solutions, and further delivering on the Actuate promise of better insights for better decision making by more people in the organization,\u201d said Wenfeng Li, Vice President of Product Development at Actuate. \u201cActuateOne sources multiple instances of Big Data, merging it with traditional relational data via our data integration features, and then presents this blended content as interactive, customizable visualizations to large numbers of simultaneous users.\u201d<\/p>\n

ActuateOne \u2013 Actuate\u2019s BI platform and suite of interactive applications built on open source BIRT \u2013 has already earned VMware Ready\u2122 status. The VMware Ready designation signifies that ActuateOne has gone through VMware\u2019s advanced testing and evaluation process to certify product compatibility. As part of the partnership, Actuate and VMware demonstrated linear scalability of ActuateOne in conjunction with VMware vSphere\u00ae<\/sup>, vFabric\u2122 Data Director\u2122, and VMware vFabric Postgres.<\/p>\n
