HPCC Systems from LexisNexis Announces One-Click Solution

Online, February 9, 2012 (Newswire.com) - HPCC Systems™ from LexisNexis® Risk Solutions announced today that it has launched a new solution, One-Click Thor, to allow AWS account holders to launch and configure a Big Data Thor cluster with the click of a button.

HPCC Systems is an enterprise-proven, open source Big Data analytics technology platform. Thor can ingest vast amounts of data to transform, link and index, with parallel processing power spread across multiple nodes. More information can be found at: http://hpccsystems.com/services/cloud/providers

One-Click Thor allows users to launch, configure, and terminate HPCC Systems Thor clusters on the AWS cloud at the push of a button. It also gathers and organizes additional information developers may need to manage these clusters, provides direct links to useful resources and automates the cluster provisioning process.

Thor on AWS gives developers the scale they need to either test a new idea or run a large project more cost effectively. Taking advantage of HPCC Systems Thor Cluster on AWS provides a powerful combination designed to make Big Data Analytics computing easier. For organizations that already rely on AWS for some of their processing needs, the One-Click Thor puts the best open source data intensive computing solution where the data resides.

Other significant benefits of the HPCC Systems platform are the fact that it is comprised of a single architecture, its consistent data-centric programming language called ECL, and the Roxie Rapid Data Delivery Cluster. The Enterprise Control Language (ECL), a declarative, data-centric programming language is optimized for large-scale data management and query processing. The Roxie Rapid Data Delivery Cluster provides highly scalable, high-performance online query processing and data warehouse capabilities.

HPCC Systems grew out of the need for LexisNexis to manage, sort, link, join and analyze billions of records within seconds. Designed by data scientists, HPCC Systems is a data intensive supercomputer that has evolved for more than a decade, with enterprise customers who need to process large volumes of data in a 24/7 environment.
