DDN | hScaler™ Hadoop Appliance

The World's First Enterprise Apache™ Hadoop® Appliance

Leveraging our leadership in clustered computing HPC environments, DDN has radically re-invented scale-out Hadoop infrastructure with the launch of hScaler, the world's first true enterprise-class Hadoop platform. hScaler eliminates today's experimental approaches that require significant expertise, consume a lot of time to architect & deploy and are expensive to acquire and manage.
hScaler defies today's conventional wisdom around commodity, shared-nothing computing to deliver an extraordinary series of benefits for today's Hadoop users that accelerate time to insight, speed deployment and dramatically lower both acquisition costs and total cost of ownership. At the core is DDN's Award Winning SFA12K™, the world's fastest storage system, which eliminates bottlenecks for Hadoop compute nodes and provide a much denser, more efficient storage & processing architecture to dramatically reduce the amount of hardware, rack space and cooling required. This is combined with commodity processing, high-speed networking and a full Apache Hadoop Distribution to deliver a factory configured, easy to use Hadoop appliance. Enterprise features include an integrated ETL engine with over 200+ connectors for Data Ingestion and Manipulation from hundreds of diverse data sources, high availability for Name and Data Nodes and DirectMon™, an intuitive cluster management framework that manages the entire appliance.

Delivering innovation beyond solutions that can only scale linearly, hScaler enables organizations to scale both storage and compute independently, allowing you to implement a solution without costly overprovisioning that fits both your workload and budget. As your Hadoop environment grows, scale from hundreds to thousands of nodes and to dozens of petabytes of capacity. The hScaler appliance is supported end-to-end by DDN’s world-class support and services, making Hadoop headache free. Only hScaler puts you in charge of your Big Data, enabling you to understand your business better and faster than ever before.

  • Life Sciences Accelerates sequencing, research and reduces time to discovery...
  • Supercomputing Maximizes Return on Investment by ensuring clusters spend more time computing and less time doing IO
 
...DDN has indeed taken the most storage-centric approach of all of the Hadoop appliance vendors. If I believed that intelligent storage could solve all IT problems (and I do), the DDN hScaler is what I’d come up with. It eschews the commonly accepted notion among Hadoop developers that storage has to be distributed across the processing nodes that make up the Hadoop computing cluster.

    • Provided by the Big Data experts
DDN and Hortonworks have developed a Hadoop solution that is all about time to value: It simplifies rollout so that enterprises can get up and running more quickly, provides typical DDN performance to accelerate data processing, and reduces the amount of time needed to maintain a Hadoop solution. For enterprises with a deluge of data but a limited IT budget, hScaler should be on the short list of potential solutions. 
— Dave Vellante, Chief Research Officer, Wikibon.org
 
  • Accelerates Time to Insight & ROI

    Appliance approach enables deploying in hours, not days. Highest performance compute & storage runs Hadoop up to 7X Faster.

  • Lowers Acquisition Costs (CAPEX)

    Requires significantly less hardware than commodity approaches.

  • Reclaims Datacenter & Lowers TCO

    Leading performance and density mean 4X less hardware, rack space, power & cooling.

  • Simplifies Management

    With DirectMon™, the powerful & simple cluster management framework.

  • Provides a Single Source for Support

    Reduces downtime and eliminates finger pointing with world class support delivered by Big Data experts.

DataDirect built hScaler to meet the speed and performance needs of those customers while offering ease of use for enterprise customers keen on Hadoop. Speed aside, hScaler stands out because it does away with direct-attached storage and incorporates RAID architecture instead. It lets users scale computing and storage resources independent of one another, precluding the chore of swapping out a server when a disk fails. 
 
Scale Performance & Capacity Independently Eliminates overprovisioning, reducing complexity & TCO.

DDN | DirectMon™

Enables you to manage one or dozens of DDN systems from a single point.
