Andrew Bust of ZDnet reports, “Pentaho and MongoDB developer 10gen announced native integration between their respective products. This is a big deal. In yesterday’s post on Cloudant, I mentioned that NoSQL and Big Data overlap quite a bit. In numerous previous posts I’ve discussed the commonalities between the BI and Big Data worlds. Today’s announcement brings together leading open source BI and NoSQL players, making the Big Data-BI-NoSQL triumvirate complete.”
He continues, “By creating native connectors between Pentaho and MongoDB, both products benefit. Pentaho gains connectivity to a data source of growing importance and, in pushing data down to Mongo, benefits from the NoSQL database’s high performance and distributed architecture. Mongo, on the other hand, gains from Pentaho a data visualization, analytics and data exploration story, and a visual data management workflow facility. This adds some enterprise lustre that the NoSQL renegade really needs.”
