MapR Powers DataOps for Companies to Unleash Greater Value from All DataMapR Technologies, a pioneer in delivering one platform for all data, across every cloud, today announced the availability of the MapR Converged Data Platform 6.0, with new advancements to help organizations achieve greater value from all of their data through DataOps teams. The major system update from MapR includes innovations that automate platform health and security, and a groundbreaking database for next-generation applications. With MapR, companies benefit from a powerful modern data fabric, where volumes of data are ingested once and accessible as a single source from on-premises data centers, across clouds and to the remote edge. DataOps is an emerging practice utilized by large organizations with teams of data scientists, developers, and other data-focused roles that train machine learning models and deploy them to production. The goal of using a DataOps methodology is to create an agile, self-service workflow that fosters collaboration and boosts creativity while respecting data governance policies. A DataOps practice supports cross-functional collaboration and fast time-to-value. It is characterized by processes as well as the use of enabling technologies, such as the MapR Platform. "In 6.0, our platform's unique capabilities focus on three key areas in support of DataOps: automated cluster health and administration, security and data governance, and faster time to machine learning and analytics," said Anoop Dawar, vice president product management and marketing, MapR. "DataOps is an important movement, ultimately letting organizations turn their data into value as quickly as possible. We continue to evolve the MapR Platform to accommodate the needs of everyone involved with data: data scientists, operations personnel, and security practitioners." New benefits from the added features and updates to Version 6.0 of the MapR Platform include:
Saket Saurabh, CEO of Nexla, a DataOps platform for inter-company data, commented, "DataOps is the backbone of any data-driven enterprise, but too often it lacks the tooling to make it a scalable and repeatable process. In fact, in our recent industry-wide survey of over 300 data professionals, we reported that integration, troubleshooting, building data pipelines, and ETL take up 47% of respondent's time. That's valuable time that could be applied toward analytics that leverages new frameworks like machine learning." MapR Converged Data Platform 6.0 is one of the most comprehensive releases MapR has delivered with a vast array of breakthrough technology advancements engineered throughout the platform. Other new features also shipping in this release, include:
MapR Converged Data Platform 6.0 is available now. Cloud provider marketplaces, such as Microsoft (News - Alert) Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Oracle Cloud, will have version 6.0 available before end of year. Resources
