Datameer and Zementis to Deliver First-Ever Standards-Based Execution of Predictive Analytics on a Massive Parallel Scale

Joint Solution Leverages Predictive Model Markup Language and Hadoop

SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Datameer, Inc. (www.datameer.com), a provider of big data analytics built on Hadoop, and Zementis (www.zementis.com), a leading provider of predictive analytics solutions, today announced a strategic partnership to help companies easily deploy, execute and integrate scalable standards-based predictive analytics.

“We are pleased to bring together a 100% standard-based approach to predictive analytics that will provide our customers with the ultimate in scalability, ease of use and low total cost of ownership.”

The joint partnership will combine the ADAPA decision engine framework for real-time execution of predictive models and rules from Zementis, with the power and scale of Datameer Analytics Solution (DAS), an end-to-end solution that includes data source integration, storage, an analytics engine and visualization.

ADAPA fully supports the Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML), the de-facto standard for data mining applications. PMML, developed by the Data Mining Group, provides a standard way for an application to define statistical and data mining models so that they can be easily shared with any other application that supports PMML.

DAS uses Apache Hadoop, a Java-based framework that supports the parallel processing of large data sets in a distributed environment, to scale cost-effectively to 4000 servers and petabytes of data.

Michael Zeller, CEO of Zementis, comments, ”Many companies are challenged by expensive one-off predictive analytics projects and have trouble providing access to the large volumes of highly granular data that these applications often require. We are very excited about fusing the advantages of DAS scalability with PMML.”

Ajay Anand, Datameer’s CEO, adds, “We are pleased to bring together a 100% standard-based approach to predictive analytics that will provide our customers with the ultimate in scalability, ease of use and low total cost of ownership.”

DAS and the ADAPA predictive analytics plug-in for DAS will be generally available in the fall of 2010.
