Alluxio,
the developer of open source cloud data orchestration software, today announced
at the first Data Orchestration Summit at the Computer History Museum, the
availability of a range of cloud offerings and integrations with the latest
Alluxio version 2.1, as well as strengthening of partnerships with Amazon AWS
and Google Cloud. Alluxio advanced to the Select Technology Partner status and
joined the Google Cloud Partner Program as a technology partner giving AWS and
Google Cloud customers the ability to accelerate analytical workloads and
orchestrate data across clouds.
As users and enterprises demand more
added capacity, particularly for their data-driven workloads, they are also in
parallel moving towards all cloud or hybrid cloud environments. This requires
cloud data orchestration to accelerate and synchronize data across different
environments, and as a result users are migrating to cloud data analytic
services like Amazon's EMR and Google Cloud's Dataproc that reduce hardware
spend, eliminate the need to overbuy capacity, and provide business agility.
Alluxio can now be seamlessly integrated with both of these leading cloud
analytical services to speed up analytical jobs on a range of computational
frameworks like Apache Spark, Presto, Hive, TensorFlow and others.
"The rise of compute intensive
workloads and the adoption of the cloud has driven organizations to adopt a
decoupled architecture for modern workloads - one in which compute scales
independently from storage. Analytical cloud services embrace this architecture
and provide the needed agility to get insights from data faster," said Steven
Mih, CEO, Alluxio. "We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with Amazon Web
Services and Google Cloud to further enable users on their data transformation
journeys."
New Offerings
on Amazon Web Service
- Alluxio Enterprise Edition v2.1.0 is now
available via the Amazon AWS Marketplace. This AMI is available
via a pay as you go model as well as an annual subscription.
- Alluxio Cloud
Formation Templates are
available which greatly simplifies Alluxio cluster creation for users. After
selecting a few configurations, a cluster of any size can be brought up in
minutes.
New Offering on Google Cloud
Google Cloud and Alluxio will hold an online tech talk
walking users through the benefits of using Google Dataproc and Alluxio for
analytical workloads for data in the cloud as well as for remote data. Details
below.
Joint Starburst Data and Alluxio AWS Offering
Starburst Data and Alluxio jointly released a few Amazon Web Service
product offerings to simplify Presto deployments in the cloud for performance
sensitive workloads. With Alluxio, Presto queries running on data in AWS S3 can
see a dramatic performance improvement.
- Presto with caching AWS
Marketplace AMI - This AMI includes the Starburst Data Enterprise Edition and
the Alluxio Enterprise Edition fully configured.
- Joint
Cloud Formation Template - This template enables users to create a pre-configured Presto cluster
with Alluxio co-located to provide greater data locality and concurrency to the
workload.
"As more users move
their SQL analytics workloads to the cloud, Alluxio adds significant benefits
by not only providing dramatic performance increases but also data
accessibility and data elasticity by abstracting many different data silos,"
said Dipti Borkar, Vice President, Products at Alluxio. "In addition, with our
latest integrations, users can leave their data on premises and burst
analytical workloads to cloud services like AWS EMR and Google Dataproc or with
Starburst Presto with our "zero-copy" bursting approach to solve their on-prem
compute capacity challenges."
