“We are seeing a growing need for business analytics applications that not only provide access to data stored in Hadoop and NoSQL databases, but also enable interactive analysis of data stored in those platforms,” said Matt Aslett, research manager, data management and analytics, 451 Research. “Pentaho Instaview is well-positioned to enable data analysts to use their existing skills to discover and unlock value from new data sources.”
