New Day One Support strategy enables Progress DataDirect data
connectivity tools enterprise customers and ISVs to adopt fast-changing
big data frameworks with speed, ease and reliability
BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress
(NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced that its Progress® DataDirect® suite of
data connectivity tools now provides Day One Support for disruptive big
data technologies with frequent release cycles, including Hadoop Hive,
Spark SQL, MongoDB and more. With this strategy - the first of its kind
for any data connectivity provider - Progress DataDirect on-premises
ODBC and JDBC drivers will support any new versions of supported data
sources.
"Big data is one of the cornerstones of digital transformation, but in
order for businesses to successfully transform into data-driven
organizations, they need to be flexible and adaptive," said Dion Picco,
General Manager, Data Connectivity & Integration, Progress. "As a
worldwide leader in data connectivity, we're committed to helping our
customers navigate this period of constant innovation and disruption, no
matter what new data distribution or interface they're using, from day
one. That way, if they experience an issue, we can help them address it
immediately, so they can accelerate their initiatives, monetize big data
sources and respond more quickly to business needs and competitive
threats."
The Progress DataDirect suite of data connectivity tools offers a unique
data connectivity solution for businesses needing to better manage and
integrate data across relational, big data and cloud data sources. It
provides proven, high-performance connectivity despite demanding data
migration, integration and management scenarios.
Software companies struggle to access big data across all customer
environments because it's impossible to continuously certify and manage
hundreds of big data components and versions that change monthly, in
many cases. With Progress DataDirect Day One Support, those
organizations get "big data insurance" with a dedicated technology
partner in Progress to ensure all of their customers are successful with
big data projects.
"Our partnership with Progress has allowed us to stay on the bleeding
edge with all big data, SQL as well as NoSQL data sources, without
incurring a lot of additional QA and engineering resources," said Tom
Tortolani, Head of Jaspersoft Product Management, TIBCO.
Progress offers DataDirect drivers for a variety of big data sources
including MongoDB, SparkSQL, Impala, SAP HANA, Apache Cassandra and
Apache Hive, as well as commercial distributions of Hive from Amazon,
Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR and Pivotal. This is on top of unmatched
Progress DataDirect relational and SaaS application adapters that
include: Salesforce Lightning Connect, SalesForce.com, Database.com,
Force.com, Hubspot, Marketo, Eloqua, Oracle Service Cloud, ServiceMax,
Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Progress® OpenEdge®, Progress®
Rollbase® and many more.
