Jaspersoft and IBM Integrate Big Data Offerings around Hadoop
BI software maker Jaspersoft and IBM plan on offering a joint analytics solution to customers that are looking to extract value from their data. IBM will integrate its InfoSphere Big Insights software with Jaspersoft’s business intelligence suite as a part of an Application Specific Licensing Agreement, which will enable the latter to license the Big Blue’s Hadoop analytics product.
“Jaspersoft for InfoSphere BigInsights combines the power of IBM’s analytics platform to manage, analyze and provide deep insight into Big Data with Jaspersoft’s capability to extract key information using flexible and easy-to-use reporting, dashboard and analytics views in one integrated solution, enabling competitive advantage.”
Jaspersoft’s reporting software and BI interface natively connects to InfoSphere via Hadoop database HBase and Hive, which is the data analytics engine’s warehousing system. This saves users from having to load data into another database.
IBM is offering the latest version of InfoSphere, which is using Hadoop as its core analytics engine. The adoption of the open-source initiative by such a large IT vendor as IBM is a milestone from more than one perspective, benefitting both for the project and the company itself, but Hadoop is also enabling the competiton.
Jaspersoft is building up its services around the open-source cloud by means of expanding its ecosystem. In addition to this latest team-up with IBM, Jaspersoft struck a deal with Red Hat earlier this month to offer a virtualization version of its offering, powered by JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform.
Late last month, Jaspersoft also launched a mobile push with the latest version of its BI Suite, which includes what the company refers to as a first of its kind iOS SDK, allowing clients to customize the software for use on the iPad, among other things.
