A recent article out of the company reports, “MapR Technologies, Inc., provider of the industry’s only Converged Data Platform, announced today at Hadoop Summit the Spyglass Initiative — a comprehensive, open, and extensible approach for increasing user and administrator productivity. The first in a series of releases as part of the Spyglass Initiative, MapR introduces new functionality to provide deep visibility with customizable dashboards that simplifies the management of big data deployments, enabling unprecedented views into converged data across containers, processes, components, and more.”
The article continues, “The Spyglass Initiative was formed to simplify the management and extend the value of growing big data deployments. Organizations can be more effective in decision-making based on centralized information with a broad view of operational data that can easily be shared within and across organizations. The centralized monitoring opens the doors for big data analysis for all data-driven organizations. New features in the MapR Converged Data Platform include: (1) Deep search across cluster-wide metrics and logs. The new functionality integrates powerful and popular tools for aggregating and storing metrics and log data from MapR, providing deep visibility into a big data cluster to help plan next steps. (2) Shareable, powerful, customizable, mobile-ready, multi-tenant dashboards. Dashboards provide a complete view of cluster operations in user-defined formats.”
