This integration is another addition to Actuate’s rapidly growing stable of ActuateOne connectors for Big-Data-ready data sources that enable developers, IT departments and OEMs to deliver world-class BI applications.
The ActuateOne platform empowers developers to rapidly develop custom, BIRT-based business analytics and customer communications applications, and provides analytic self-service for data-savvy users of BIRT Analytics.
ActuateOne is Actuate’s BIRT-based suite of commercial products for development and deployment of custom business analytics applications, while BIRT onDemand is Actuate’s SaaS version of ActuateOne.
Actuate announced today that both have been integrated with Amazon Redshift – AWS’s new petabyte-scale cloud warehouse service.
ActuateOne offers fast visualisation and rich analysis features while Amazon Redshift brings to the table its performance, scalability and low cost (under US$1,000/terabyte/year).
Combining the two enables organizations of all sizes to reap the benefits of ultra-fast access and near-speed-of-thought visualization for Cloud-based business analytics – on real-time Big Data workloads of any size or complexity.
Specific features and benefits of ActuateOne and BIRT onDemand using Amazon Redshift.
- Significantly enhanced scalability for visualization and analysis of data in ActuateOne: Amazon Redshift enables customers to scale easily from a single 2TB node up to one hundred 16TB nodes for 1.6PB of compressed user data and ActuateOne makes this data easily available to customers for analysis and visualization. With ActuateOne and BIRT onDemand, customers can quickly and easily access all their Amazon Redshift data.
- Unmatched data processing speed enables instant interactivity and “speed of thought” visualizations and insights within ActuateOne from extremely large data sets.
- Elimination of up-front data warehousing costs: Amazon Redshift requires no upfront payments and enables customers to pay as they go. Amazon Redshift costs less than US$1,000 per TB per year, a tenth the cost of most traditional data warehousing solutions. By eliminating upfront expenses, enabling customers to get started with a 2TB data warehouse for less than a dollar an hour and allowing them to easily resize their clusters as needed, Amazon Redshift dramatically lowers the cost of data warehousing for customers.
ActuateOne running with Amazon Redshift enables organizations to visualize and analyze data of any volume or complexity from virtually any source including Twitter, Facebook, print archives and machine log data.
ActuateOne deploys in any environment – on premise and in private- or public clouds – and supports web-based and mobile BI on the Apple iPad and iPhone, as well as on Android phones and tablets.
Actuate’s experience, proven capabilities and flexible architecture make it a clear choice for organizations looking to strengthen their data visualization and analysis capabilities for better profitability.
