“With the launch of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the introduction of Juju, Canonical further established its lead in delivering easy access to the latest open cloud technology, including OpenStack,” said Kyle MacDonald, VP Cloud at Canonical. “Our customers want optimized workloads to run in their cloud and now, with the addition of MapR M3 as an easily deployable and enterprise-grade Hadoop solution, we are providing Ubuntu customers with an effective way to implement Big Data into their operations.”
The free MapR M3 Edition includes HBase, Pig, Hive, Mahout, Cascading, Sqoop, Flume and other Hadoop-related components for unlimited production use. MapR M3 will be bundled with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and 12.10 via the Ubuntu Partner Archive.
MapR also announced that the source code for the component packages of the MapR Distribution for Apache Hadoop is now publicly available on GitHub. Click here for details.
MapR is the only distribution that enables Linux applications and commands to access data directly in the cluster via the NFS interface that is available with all MapR Editions. The MapR M5 and M7 Editions for Apache Hadoop, which provide enterprise-grade features for HBase and Hadoop such as mirroring, snapshots, NFS HA and data placement control, will also be certified for Ubuntu.
“Ubuntu and MapR are a great combination for implementing an open source Hadoop cluster in any enterprise,” said Tomer Shiran, director of product management, MapR. “For OpenStack customers, this packaged offering of Ubuntu with MapR is a fast and simple means to enable Hadoop as a service in their environments.”
Canonical was the first company to distribute and support OpenStack – and Ubuntu has remained the reference operating system for the OpenStack project since the beginning. Ubuntu is the easiest and most trusted route to an OpenStack cloud, whether for private use or as a commercial public cloud offering.
Canonical will make available a Juju Charm that can be used by OpenStack customers to easily deploy MapR M3 into both private and public clouds that have standardized on OpenStack. Juju is Canonical’s package management system for implementing cloud technologies. ”Charms” are pre-configured deployment tools for specific products.
