Extracting information from the applications deployed by large enterprises can yield valuable insight. As provider of real-time big data search and analytics, Sinequa has new additions to its smart connectors for cloud and Big Data Hadoop environments.
Due to the sheer volume of data that enterprises generate, finding the information where it resides and extrapolating value from it used to be a difficult task. With hybrid enterprise data sources coming from everywhere, it becomes extremely challenging to generate a comprehensive view from the separate data silos.
What Sinequa has succeeded in doing is deliver plug-and-play connectors to allow administrators access to the data no matter where it is with agility, speed and security. The Sinequa Big Data Search & Analytics can be implemented knowing it has the most established connectors so data unification of the entire big data, enterprise application and cloud data ecosystem works without a glitch. It offers users Unified Information Access to all textual and database data, supported by powerful analytics.
“With over 150 smart connectors and growing, Sinequa provides the broadest out-of-the-box connectivity to the most widespread structured and unstructured data sources on the market. As a result, customers can speed the efficient implementation of their Sinequa projects by an order of magnitude because implementation time is spent on extracting the highest possible business value from data rather than on connecting to data sources,” said Laurent Fanichet, Vice President of Marketing, Sinequa.
Hadoop is a Java-based programming framework that supports the processing of large data sets in a distributed computing environment. As the adoption of cloud and Hadoop continues to increase with organizations that are data intensive, smart connectors that are able to streamline access to the data become invaluable tools.
The Hadoop connectors by Sinequa are ready to go out of the box, and they include, HDFS, Hive and HBase. For enterprises with different cloud deployments, the cloud connectors support application data that is retained for platform such as, AWS, Microsoft Office 365 with SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, OneDrive and Yammer (News - Alert).
Additional connectors are availble for: CMS / ECM / WCM; applications/ESB; eMail; directories; collaborative; business intelligence; and generic connector.
By having the right connectors in place, businesses can have easy and secure access to information that is relevant for their work environment by combining analytic depth, including NLP in 20 major languages, with high performance and scalability.
The benefits to IT is faster and simpler implementation of more than 150 connectors to data sources, whether it is internal or external of an enterprise. It also lowers the computing resource usage because customers don’t have to provide as much IT resources to carryout Enterprise Search and Search Based Applications (SBA's).
