Syncsort and Dell to Help Customers Accelerate Big Data Initiatives on HadoopWOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Syncsort, a global leader in Big Data software, today announced it will work with Dell to help businesses improve operational efficiency, lower costs and take advantage of advanced analytics by shifting expensive workloads and associated data from overloaded enterprise data warehouses (EDW) to Hadoop. The Dell | Syncsort reference architecture will bring together the components of complete Big Data and analytics environments in turnkey solutions that are easy to order, quick to deploy and easy to scale. Dell is working with Syncsort to integrate its market-leading, powerful and easy-to-use Hadoop ETL software, DMX-h, with Cloudera's Enterprise Data Hub as part of a new reference architecture to help organizations begin their Big Data journey. The reference architecture will enable customers to offload ETL workloads to Hadoop, increasing performance and freeing up valuable cycles in the EDW. "Today's data warehouse is being strained with greater information demands and opportunities for existing and new types of data sources such as mobile technologies, cloud computing and social media," said Jim Ganthier, vice president and general manager, Engineered Solutions and Cloud, Dell. "By delivering Syncsort's powerful Hadoop ETL software as part of the world's only reference architecture for data warehouse optimization, we will help customers increase data warehouse capacity, decrease associated costs, deliver faster access to business result-generating information while laying a secure, scalable and robust foundation for a modern data architecture." Key customer benefits addressed by the new architecture:
A large percentage of EDWs are performance and/or capacity constrained. Syncsort customers report that data integration workloads consume as much as 80% of EDW resources. The new collaboration between Syncsort and Dell will make it easier for organizations facing bottlenecks to increase efficiency, free-up capacity and lower operational and processing costs. Customers can also take advantage of Dell professional services for project management, solution architecture and testing and Syncsort Professional services for POC and implementation if required.

Supporting Quotes "Moving workloads from highly-tuned but expensive and performance-constrained data warehouses to Hadoop is an increasingly popular method for enterprises to realize immediate value from the open source Big Data framework," said George Gilbert, Big Data and Analytics Analyst, Wikibon. "In particular, cost savings achieved by moving data transformation workloads (the T in ETL), some of which execute in the Data Warehouse, to less-expensive Hadoop environments are then available for re-investment in other high-value Big Data analytics initiatives."
