Enables accelerated Big Data
implementations
Wipro Limited (NYSE: WIT) (BSE: 507685) (NSE: WIPRO), a leading
global information technology, consulting and business process
services company, today announced that it has open sourced its big
data product, Big Data Ready Enterprise (BDRE), which makes big
data technology adoption simpler and faster by optimizing big data
workloads under an integrated unified framework.
The product addresses the complete lifecycle of managing data
across enterprise data lakes, making it possible to ingest,
organize, enrich, process, analyze, govern and extract data at a
fast pace, significantly accelerating the big data implementation
in a cost effective manner. BDRE is in production with multiple
clients and has over 100+ opportunities across numerous verticals.
BDRE is released under the Apache Public License v2.0 and hosted on
GitHub.
According to the Gartner Report, Benefits and Compromises of
OpenSource and Corporate Software Suites for Advanced Analytics,
written by Alan D. Duncan et al, published in 8 June 2015, ‘Ever
since the Apache Hadoop software framework first emerged in 2005,
the open-source software community has been a driver of innovation
in the field of advanced analytics and distributed data
computing.’
Herb Cunitz, President, Hortonworks said, “Hortonworks
believes that the greatest innovation happens through collaboration
in the open source community. We are glad to hear that Wipro has
open sourced its big data & analytics product BDRE and taken a
stride in contributing to the open source community. This step will
help us further strengthen our relationship and reinforces our
belief in open source technology for the enterprise.”
“Wipro takes pride in being a significant contributor to the
open source community, and the release of BDRE reinforces our
commitment towards this ecosystem. BDRE will not only make big data
technology adoption simpler and effective, it will also open
opportunities across industry verticals that organizations can
successfully leverage. Being at the forefront of innovation in big
data, we are able to guide organizations that seek to benefit from
the strategic, financial, organizational and technological benefits
of adopting open source technologies,” said Bhanumurthy B. M.,
President & Chief Operating Officer, Wipro Limited.
Open source software consumption is on the rise. As per The Open
Source Era study, commissioned by Wipro, 64% of respondents of
Oxford Economics research believe that open source will drive Big
Data efforts in the next three years. Releasing BDRE to the
community will enable product growth in terms of new features and
capabilities and also help numerous organizations with Big Data
implementations. Open sourcing BDRE encourages collaborative
development by accepting contributions from both individuals and
organizations and reduces the time to develop the operational
framework, leading to faster innovation.
Wipro is a gold sponsor of Hadoop Summit San Jose 2016 and will
be participating in the ’Modern Data Architecture’ track by
community choice voting.
