Jaspersoft, DataStax Set Out to Make Cassandra Easier
Jaspersoft is a maker of BI tools that enables business users interact with their organization’s big data. This technology will be integrated with DataStax Enterprise, a platform that’s built on top of the Cassandra Hadoop database: it lets users search, analyze and manage data in real time, but up until now you pretty much needed a PhD to manage it all.
The two companies are collaborating to create a connector that will couple DataStax’s solution with the reporting capabilities and dashboards that Jaspersoft offers.
“Jaspersoft is delighted to partner with DataStax to provide rich reporting and analytics for Cassandra,” said Karl Van den Bergh, Vice President of Product and Alliances at Jaspersoft. “DataStax customers can now leverage Jaspersoft’s powerful BI products to derive meaningful insights through ad-hoc analysis and live data exploration with low-latency.”
Making big data accessible to business users, the ones who are actually going to make use of it, is becoming a bigger and bigger priority for BI vendors. But at the same time Jaspersoft also has several other things on its agenda, including aggressive expansion.
The vendor was one of the first to join the Google Cloud Platform Partner Program. It wasn’t the only one – several other analytics firms including Talend signed up right after launch – but it marks a big milestone nonetheless. Jaspersoft is hoping to tap the user base of BigQuery, an analytics service that falls under the Cloud Platform umbrella and offers developers a scalable method of filtering their data.
Before aligning itself with Google, Jaspersoft announced that it’s adding support for Cloud Foundry. VMware’s open-source PaaS was ranked very highly by developers in a 2011 poll and is picking up a lot of momentum, following the footsteps of OpenStack.
