MapR Makes Hadoop Easy

MapR eliminates the complexity of setting up and managing Hadoop. MapR provides alerts, alarms and insights through an advanced graphical interface. MapR’s Heatmap™ provides a clear view of cluster health and performance, and MapR Volumes simplify data security, retention, placement, and quota management.

MapR has also developed Direct Access NFS™. This allows users to mount the entire Hadoop cluster as an NFS volume. This radically simplifies how an application can write to, and read from, a Hadoop cluster. This enables many related operations and applications from drag-and-drop access to streaming updates and realtime analytics.

MapR capabilities include:

  • Mount Hadoop with Direct Access NFS™
  • Easy graphical provisioning and planning tools
  • Instrumented for alerts and alarms
  • MapR Heatmap™ provides clear cluster visibility
  • User & group usage tracking and quotas
  • Drag-and-drop data in and out of Hadoop
  • Complete distribution includes HBase, Pig, Hive, Mahout, HBase, Cascading, ZooKeeper, and more
  • 100% API compatibility with Hadoop - MapReduce, HDFS and HBase
  • Integrated, hardened, tested, easy to install
