MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/26/13 -- Zettaset, the leader in secure Big Data management, announced today that it supports the launch of the Intel® Distribution for Apache Hadoop™ (hadoop.intel.com/). Zettaset Orchestrator™ is a distribution-agnostic management platform that automates, accelerates and simplifies Hadoop installation and cluster management for Big Data deployments. The Intel® Distribution for Apache Hadoop software delivers an open source platform for advanced analytics with hardware-enhanced security, performance, and manageability.

Joint customers of Zettaset and Intel can now benefit from the ease of use of a Hadoop installation and management solution that works with the only distribution of Apache Hadoop built from the silicon up.

"Intel has worked diligently with their partners to ensure compatibility and deliver a robust, high performance Big Data solution for the enterprise," said Zettaset President and CEO Jim Vogt. "We are excited to be included in Intel's growing Big Data ecosystem and look forward to helping our joint customers to easily install, manage and secure their Intel-powered Hadoop deployments."

"Our customers want a thriving ecosystem around Apache Hadoop," said Girish Juneja, GM, Big Data Software, at Intel. "The interoperability of Zettaset® Orchestrator and Intel® Distribution for Apache Hadoop provides enterprises with the confidence that Apache Hadoop is capable of supporting big data applications in the most demanding data center environments."

Zettaset Orchestrator is not a Hadoop distribution, but operates as an independent management layer that sits on top of any Hadoop distribution. Orchestrator's software simplifies Hadoop deployment and eliminates unnecessary dependencies on professional services, reduces Hadoop IT resource requirements, and helps business units achieve faster time to value with their Big Data projects.
