New MapR Platform 6.0 powers DataOps

DataOps is an approach to improve quality and reduce life cycle time of data analytics for Big data applications.

MapR Platform 6.0, offers the entire DataOps team (data scientists, data engineers, systems administrators, and cluster operators) in an organization, a unified management solution.

Some top releases and features of the platform include:

• The MapR Control System (MCS), a new centralized control system that converges all data sources and types from multiple backends. It is built on the Spyglass Initiative and provides a unified management solution for the data stored in the MapR platform. This includes files, JSON-tables, and streaming data.

MapR 6.0 MCS also comes in with:

• MapR Monitoring uses MapR Streams in the core architecture to build a customizable, scalable, and extensible monitoring framework.
  
• The MapR platform also includes the latest release of MapR-DB 6.0. It is a multi-model database built for data-intensive applications such as real-time streaming, operational workloads, and analytical applications.
• The MapR Data Science Refinery provides scalable data science tools to organizations to help them generate insights from their data and convert them into operational applications. It provides an access to all platform assets including app servers, web servers, and other client nodes and apps. The MapR Data Science Refinery also comes with 8 visualization libraries, including MatPlotLib and GGPlot2.
• In addition, Apache Spark connectors are provided for interacting with both MapR-DB and MapR-ES. MapR also includes a preconfigured Docker Container to use MapR as a data store. The Stateful Containers offer easy deployment solutions apart from being secure and extensible.
• Organizations can also create real-time pipelines for machine learning applications and apply ML models to real-time data by the native integration between MapR-ES and ML libraries.
• In addition, The MapR platform 6.0 also includes single-click security enhancements, cloud-scale multi-tenancy, and MapR volume metrics, available via an extensible volume dashboard in Grafana.  

The MapR Platform 6.0 is available now. However, for Cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Oracle Cloud, the version 6.0 would be available before the end of this year.
