HP tightens HAVEn integration with IDOL 10.5
Hewlett-Packard is pushing ahead in the race to build the first truly enterprise-ready Big Data platform with a new version of IDOL that aims to make it easier than ever to process information from different types of sources.
The core capabilities of the search tool, notably sentiment analysis, clustering and entity extraction, can now be bolted onto Hadoop using a lightweight module that eliminates the need to move data back and forth from IDOL Server in order to perform advanced analytics. The extension is joined by an IDOL UDx pack for Vertica that offers the same benefits to users of the real-time database through support for unstructured and semistructured workloads.
Finally, Hewlett-Packard is rolling out a pair of IDOL-based email and social media packs for ArcSight Enterprise Security Manager to let customers correlate communication patterns with network activity in the same environment. The company says that the functionality can help organization identify insider threats more effectively and stay one step ahead of hacktivists.
The integrations mark an important milestone in HP’s quest to turn its disparate Big Data technologies into a unified analytics solution, a company-wide effort that has culminated in HAVEn, an end-to-end platform with three distinct advantages over the competition.
“The first one is these connectors. We have about 700 connectors that can ingest and manage and search and index all kinds of information, and that’s unique for us. Then we have these strong engines, between the Autonomy IDOL engine, between the Vertica engine, between the ArcSight Logger engines,” HP Software head George Kadifa detailed in an interview on theCUBE last August. “And then the third piece are the applications, what we’re calling the ‘n apps,’ and these new applications are going to dwarf what we’ve seen in the past in terms of capabilities,” Kadifa said.
Deepened integration with the HP portfolio is not the only thing IDOL 10.5 brings to the table. Under the hood, it increases reliability with improved resource management and automatic recovery from system failures, plus differential backup and point-in-time restore. The release also introduces new monitoring capabilities, asynchronous query, a revamped compaction mechanism and streamlined dashboards, among other enhancements.
