New Quick Start Solution Helps Customers Deploy and Populate
Cloud-based Enterprise Data Lakes in Just a Few Clicks
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 21, 2017--
Talend
(NASDAQ:
TLND), a global leader in cloud
and big
data integration solutions, unveiled a new Quick Start solution for
deploying cloud data lakes on Amazon Web Services (AWS) platforms. The
comprehensive, out-of-the-box offering is ideal for organizations
looking to get data lakes up and running quickly, while leveraging the
speed, agility, scalability, and power of the cloud. Available for download
immediately, the Quick
Start automates the building of data lake environments by deploying
TalendBig
Data Integration components and AWS services such as Amazon EMR,
Amazon Redshift, Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and Amazon
Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS).
Organizations seeking to leverage the power of data for business
transformation increasingly look to cloud data lakes to collect and
analyze massive amounts of structured, semi-structured and unstructured
data for advanced business insights. By ingesting and storing everything
from Web site activity and social media commentary to Internet of Things
data from a myriad of sources, cloud data lakes can help overcome many
of the complex challenges and delays posed by more rigid, traditional,
on-premises enterprise systems.
“Digital transformation is sweeping every industry today and having the
ability to extract meaningful insights from growing volumes of big data
is a key enabler,” said Mike Pickett, SVP of Business Development and
Partner Ecosystems, Talend. “Organizations that fail to devise an
effective way to enable more widespread use of data within their
organization will be left behind by more agile players. With its
unmatched flexibility, scalability, and performance, the cloud is the
obvious platform of choice for customers looking to get more value out
of enterprise data lakes to improve relationships and competitiveness.”
The new data lake Quick Start solution features:
-
A reference architecture automated by the AWS CloudFormation template
integrating AWS services such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon
S3), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and Amazon Redshift.
-
Talend’s Big Data Integration platform, which includes connectors and
components for linking to more than a thousand data sources and
applications, including SaaS apps such as Salesforce, legacy apps and
databases, SOAP or REST Web services, and streaming data protocols
such as Kafka. Talend’s platform minimizes hand coding, and can run
native Spark or MapReduce on Amazon EMR.
-
Talend Quick Start CloudFormation templates for development, test and
production environments.
With the comprehensive, out-of-the-box solution, organizations can start
delivering breakthrough insights in just a few weeks or months using
powerful AWS analytics services such as Amazon QuickSight and Amazon
Machine Learning (Amazon ML).
Fitness company Beachbody, the makers of the P90X and INSANITY workouts,
deployed a self-service analytics data lake architecture in less than
six months using Amazon S3 and Talend
Real-time Big Data. In doing so, Beachbody’s IT team moved the
company from receiving new data once a week, to having it in near
real-time. Now, employees have access to a much broader range of data
than ever before, including website activity data, logs from its workout
video streaming service, call center records, external customer
acquisition, spending and sales information, as well as financial
transaction data.
“The unmatched agility and flexibility of AWS plus Talend’s easy
integration capabilities were game changers. With our limited resources,
not only would a project of this magnitude have been infinitely more
difficult, expensive, and time-consuming to implement on premise, but it
would have also required a lot more people with the right big data
skills,” said Eric Anderson, executive director of data at Beachbody. “A
project that would have taken us well over a year to launch, was instead
up and running in just six months, giving our business analysts and
employees access to an ever-growing number of data sources. Now the
potential for leveraging varied data and insights to help advance the
business is virtually unlimited.”
