According to a new press release, “Talena, the always-on big data pioneer today announced a partnership with Arcadia Data, the industry’s first unified visual analytics and business intelligence (BI) platform for big data. Companies using Talena ActiveRX™ and Arcadia Enterprise in combination can turn typically passive big data backups into active clusters and obtain valuable, actionable business insights. The integration saves companies precious time and IT resources by removing the need to manually move or duplicate large data sets, obtain insights across multiple big data platforms, and eliminates negative performance impacts on production environments.”

The release continues, “In just three years it’s expected that more than 35 zettabytes of data will be generated worldwide, with more than 80% of that data stored in enterprise environments. Companies recognize the need to protect these valuable data sets against data loss, and how these losses could impact their businesses, yet big data backups are traditionally passive environments used only in the event of a data loss. Talena ActiveRX enables these backup data environments to become active clusters, ready for native data visualization and analysis at any time. With Talena ActiveRX, compute moves to the data layer, eliminating the often-expensive step of moving data yet again to a separate analytics cluster. The combination of Talena ActiveRX and Arcadia Enterprise enables companies to handle data analytics at any scale, leverage multiple backup copies for trend analysis, and run analytics across backup copies of NoSQL, Hadoop and modern data warehouses environments.”
