SnapLogic Releases New “Snap” for EMC Greenplum Database

SnapLogic, a maker of cloud data flow platforms, has released its latest “snap” designed for the EMC Greenplum database. SnapLogic developed the EMC Greenplum Snap in a team-up with the storage giant, which acquired the open-source business intelligence database last year.  Now, Greenplum customers can enhance their big data analytics investment by allowing them to easily load data into and extract data from the EMC Greenplum database. This streamlines data warehousing and large data analytics projects.

“EMC Greenplum Database allows customers to take advantage of large clusters of increasingly powerful, increasingly inexpensive commodity servers, storage and ethernet switches. SnapLogic’s EMC Greenplum Snap takes advantage of SnapLogic’s hub and spoke model to connect EMC Greenplum to the myriad of business applications for which Snaps exist today.”

The EMC Greenplum Snap is available via SnapLogic’s SnapStore. The SnapStore is a marketplace the company has created for data flow connectors and similar cloud migration products, specially built to support some of the most widely-used offerings in this space.

EMC has been rolling out new points of integration for Greenplum technology throughout the past few months, and is very keen on growing the latter’s user base. Last month the open source big data analytics leader also had a major update, when three new Greenplum products were unveiled.

High Capacity DCA, High Performance DCA and data integration accelerator represent the latest addition to the Greenplum data computing appliance family. These allow organizations to better monetize their big data with Greenplum, and more effective large-scale analytics.

When it boils down to open-source big data analytics updates, EMC may be the biggest highlight this week, with its EMC World event in Las Vegas. More accurately, five new products were added to the Hadoop echosystem, contributed by EMC as well as SnapLogic, NetApp and others.
