参考架构观察

Doug Henschen “16 Top Big Data Analytics Platforms”（ InformationWeek, 2014-01-30），Doug 在评价每一个大数据分析平台（不管是 Hortonworks、MapR）时都有一个硬件集成（Hardware）指标。下面是描述 HP 公司的一段话：

 

Hardware/software systems: HP ConvergedSystem 300 for Vertica, plus a choice of reference architectures for Cloudera, Hortonworks, and MapR Hadoop distributions. HP calls its big-data-platform architecture HAVEn, an acronym for Hadoop, Autonomy, Vertica, Enterprise Security, and "n" applications. HP doesn't have its own Hadoop distribution, but it provides reference hardware configurations for leading Hadoop software distributors.

 

 

以前从 SUSE、BigFoot 看到过针对 OpenStack 的参考架构，实际上站在咨询公司或者咨询师的视角看 OpenStack 的发行商，是能够有一个硬件配置的衡量指标，想一想 EMA（Enterprise Management Associates）负责融合、超融合或者通常商业服务器咨询的顾问必定有硬件集成使用方面的观点和建议。
