The IDEA Analytics platform is designed to perform complex analytics and data transformations across large and diverse datasets in a secure and reliable way. The platform provides research teams access to a range of open-source tools, including Hadoop, Spark, and MongoDB, hosted on a highly scalable infrastructure specifically designed for large analytics workloads. In addition to well-known Hadoop applications such as Pig, Hive, and HBase, specialized machine learning and natural language processing tools are also integrated into the solution. Access to HAWQ and Greenplum, two of the leading Big Data relational database solutions, is also incorporated into the IDEA platform.
The IDEA platform is currently available for projects small and large. Learn more on the website and request an account to get started.
