Alpine Chorus 5.0 Unveiled
Alpine Data Labs announced today the introduction of Alpine Chorus 5.0, the industry's first Advanced Analytics enterprise platform to enable organizations to unify all data access, control and innovation into one consistent and collaborative environment.
With this release, the company introduces new functionality to allow business executives to oversee and manage their analytics ecosystem while enabling all employees to collaborate and innovate with data. Alpine Chorus 5.0 also unveils a new extensible framework which scientists and analysts can use to integrate and manage popular technologies like R and Spark. Finally, the company further advances its "in-cluster" innovation lead by introducing access, discovery and management parity across all Hadoop distributions (HortonWorks, Cloudera, MapR and Pivotal) and all major database platforms from Oracle, to Teradata to SQL Server.
Alpine Chorus 5.0's new monitoring and operationalization capabilities provide all employees with a consistent, personalized and secure interface into the enterprise's analytical work. It ensures that more people -- not just data scientists -- can actively participate in the development, deployment and fast iteration of insightful applications.
By supporting all Hadoop distributions and non-Hadoop sources, Chorus 5.0 becomes the advanced analytics platform that drives in-cluster analytics processing into the broadest set of data sources in the industry.
The Alpine Chorus R integration indeed provides a large number of benefits to R developers, from enabling them to work with R in a collaborative manner to benefiting from centralized management, scheduling and security capabilities. Now, the use of R can be extended to a much larger number of people and use cases. Finally, the R integration enables Data Scientists to drop their R code into existing or new Alpine Chorus workflows, combine them with machine learning algorithms and models that don't use R. This added value provides a great roadmap for extending the reach and use of languages like R.
