HP invests in Hortonworks' Hadoop |
July 24, 2014
Hewlett-Packard is betting $50 million that its customers will find value in the Hadoop data processing platform, by investing in Hadoop distributor Hortonworks.The two companies will also partner on sales calls and formulate an architecture for incorporating the Hortonworks’ Hadoop distribution into HP’s data processing stack, called HAVEn.“We’ve never really sold Hadoop, nor supported it directly. To date, we’d meet with a Hadoop vendor and take the deal to market.
