HP calls its big-data-platform architecture
HAVEn, an acronym for Hadoop, Autonomy, Vertica, Enterprise Security, and "n" applications. HP doesn't have its own Hadoop distribution, but it provides reference hardware configurations for leading Hadoop software distributors. Autonomy's IDOL software addresses search and exploration of unstructured. Vertica is HP's massively parallel processing columnar analytical DBMS designed for speedy analysis of massive, structured data sets. Competing with the likes of IBM PureData for Analytics (Netezza) and Pivotal Greenplum, Vertica is intended to complement rather than replace legacy enterprise data warehouse environments such as Teradata.
With the Vertica 7 release, HP added a "FlexZone" designed to let users explore data in large data sets before defining the database scheme and related analyses and reports. Release 7 is also integrated with Hadoop through Hive's HCatalog metadata store, giving users a way to explore data on HDFS in a tabular view.
HP's ArcSight Logger software for collecting and analyzing machine data and its Operational Analytics offerings give it more of an IT-centric spin on big-data analysis than most of its rivals. IBM, SAP, and Oracle, for example, are much deeper on data-integration, BI, and analytics software for business applications. If HP is your IT systems management and hardware vendor of choice, the HAVEn platform and its components complement Hadoop and investments in third-party data-management and analytics software.
