Karmasphere Integrates Its Big Data Analytics Suite With IBM InfoSphere BigInsights Software

Karmasphere™, a Big Data Analytics company, today announced it is joining with IBM (NYSE:IBM) to help enterprise clients integrate and analyze traditional business data with a growing volume of unstructured data using Apache Hadoop-based software.
Karmasphere has integrated its Big Data Analytics software including Karmasphere Studio for developers and Karmasphere Analyst for data and business analysts with IBM’s BigInsights software. As a result, joint clients can integrate and analyze structured data found in databases along with unstructured data – such as text, video, audio, images, social media and click streams — without changing the native format of the data.
“Karmasphere is a key partner in IBM’s Big Data ecosystem that supports developers, analysts and business users with unprecedented ease-of-use for analyzing data on Hadoop,” said Rob Thomas, Vice President of Business Development, IBM Information Management. “IBM’s long standing commitment to the open community and full embrace of Hadoop will help Karmasphere deliver a new class of Big Data applications for IBM software.”
