MapR advances MapR-DB for rich data-intensive applications and in-place analytics

“Xactly’s SPM Suite, predictive analytics and big data intelligence are the foundation for the sales programmes of more than a 1,200 customers. Billions of transactions flow through our systems each quarter and we have handled more than $20 billion in incentive compensation payments in the last two years alone,” said Ron Rasmussen, CTO, Xactly Corporation. “If our systems aren’t running at maximum performance, the course of business slows and people don’t get paid. MapR understands that our database architecture is critical to our success and that of our customers. Their system provides the flexibility and integrated analytics required for Xactly to continue to build and scale SPM solutions that are unmatched in performance, scalability and uptime.”

As part of the MapR Converged Data Platform, MapR-DB enables faster time-to-market, always-on intelligent business processes and contextual user experiences. MapR-DB supports multiple data models (document, wide column, key value, etc.) and unifies operations and analytics for in-place and continuous real time business insights.  MapR-DB can operate thousands of mission critical next gen applications with consistent ultra-low latencies and high scalability.

“Retro-fitting legacy databases in today’s big data environments presents challenges to organisations such as poor data performance, scale limitations, and data access restrictions.” said John L Myers, managing research director, Enterprise Management Associates, a Boulder, Colorado, based industry analyst firm. “Leveraging a one platform architecture, MapR Converged Data Platform enables organisations to efficiently process all data types bringing analytics and operations together with consistent scale, reliability and performance.  Specifically, MapR-DB capabilities help companies build a global multi-master database extending from the cloud to the edge and on-premises, accelerating data iterations and integrations for deploying next-generation online and mobile apps.”

“At Xing, we are building a world-class business networking platform for millions of users for a better working life,” said Mustafa Engin S?zer, senior BI architect - Business Intelligence Competence Center, Xing. “We create massive amounts of data across multiple systems and being able to analyse all data in this fast-paced environment is key to serving our members better. MapR-DB allows us to converge data from various applications and technologies to create a self-service BI architecture. With consistently high performance, schema flexibility, and native integration with Apache Drill and Apache Spark, MapR-DB is empowering our architecture and allowing us to build real-time BI services.”
