Actuate's BIRT iHub™ Certified on Cloudera Enterprise 5


SAN MATEO, Calif. --(Business Wire)--

Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ:BIRT), The BIRT Company™ and the leader in personalized analytics and insights, today announced that its BIRT iHub™ visualization and deployment platform is certified on Cloudera Enterprise 5, Cloudera's latest version of its unified big data management platform.

Actuate's (News - Alert) BIRT iHub is a high performance enterprise platform used to pull Big Data from multiple sources and deliver secure, interactive and personalized content - such as dashboards, reports and analytic applications - to end users. The combination of BIRT iHub and Cloudera Enterprise 5 allows users to quickly filter through the large amount and variety of data that can be stored in a Cloudera enterprise data hub powered by Apache Hadoop, then immediately access real-time information on customer behavior and internal processes.

Cloudera Enterprise is increasingly being used by companies to improve operational efficiency. The platform offers a variety of engines to process different workloads; advanced data management, security and governance capabilities within one open and unified platform; and an easy and tight integration with existing enterprise data management systems.

With BIRT iHub certified on Cloudera Enterprise 5, applications that unlock the true value of Cloudera-managed Hadoop data can be created, enabling organizations to formulate insights with newly combined data sets and immediately deliver this analysis in the form of interactive data visualizations.

"Having Actuate certify BIRT and BIRT iHub on Cloudera Enterprise 5 provides our joint customers with a rich BI and analytics platform," said Tim Stevens, Vice President, Business and Corporate Development at Cloudera. "We are seeing a strong demand for Cloudera Enterprise 5 as organizations increasingly deploy enterprise data hubs in their environments, and having BIRT iHub as one of the certified and immediately available partners allows our customers to take advantage of the latest innovations from both companies."

"With Actuate and Cloudera working together, it becomes easy to rapidly gather, filter and analyze massive amounts of data," said Michael Williams, BIRT Product Evangelist an Forum Manager at Actuate. "This allows critical insights formulated from this analysis to be quickly communicated with end users through meaningful and interactive BIRT-based visualizations."
