Today, Alluxio announced the addition of Alluxio Structured Data Service (SDS) to Alluxio 2.2. SDS features data catalog and transformation services. The company develops open-source data orchestration software for the cloud and has done so since 2014. Version 2 of their eponymous Alluxio software was released just last year.

Alluxio, the developer of open source cloud data orchestration software, today announced the availability of Alluxio Structured Data Service (SDS) featuring a data Catalog Service and Transformation Service, two new major architectural components of its Data Orchestration Platform. Data engineers, architects and developers can now spend less resources storing data and more time delivering data to analytical compute engines.

Alluxio offers a data orchestration layer, based on open source in-memory file system technology of the same name. Back in July of last year, I covered the then new release of Alluxio 2.0 and went into detail on the platform’s functionality. Today, Alluxio is announcing its version 2.2 release (in both Enterprise and Community editions), with some very interesting new functionality for data management.

This is a collaboration between Baolong Mao’s team at JD.com and my team at Alluxio. The original article was published on Alluxio’s blog. This article describes how JD built an interactive OLAP platform combining two open-source technologies: Presto and Alluxio.

Cloud Computing has transformed the way businesses allocate their computing resources. The Cloud allows a business to deliver computing services over the internet. Depending on a business’s needs and requirements, they can deploy their cloud resources in several ways; such as, public, private or hybrid cloud. These various cloud deployment methods vary in cost, performance, security, and scale. On today’s episode of DM Radio, we examine the pros & cons of each of these cloud types.

From AI and machine learning, to data discovery and real-time analytics, a strong data architecture strategy is critical to supporting an organization’s data-driven goals.
Greater speed, flexibility, and scalability are common wish-list items, alongside smarter data governance and security capabilities.

Alluxio, the cloud data orchestration specialist, is the latest vendor to join the Presto Foundation, which is shepherding the popular open source distributed SQL query engine.
Presto was launched by Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) engineers in 2012 as a follow-on to Apache Hive. The SQL query engine is touted as running interactive queries against data sources up to the petabyte range. The resulting analytics run at speeds comparable to commercial data warehouses.

Kubernetes is already proving its value for cloud-centric apps. Now there is a move to bring such benefits to analytics workloads. Alluxio CEO Steven Mih shares how ‘Kubernetifying’ an analytics stack can solve data sharing and elasticity issues.

Alluxio, the developer of open source cloud data orchestration software, today announced it has joined Linux Foundation’s Presto Foundation. Along with members such as Facebook, Uber, Twitter and Alibaba, together we help scale and accelerate the popular distributed SQL query engine Presto. In addition, Alluxio will be sponsoring and exhibiting at the very first PrestoCon. Presto with Alluxio brings together two open source technologies to provide a unique solution for hybrid and multi-cloud deployments for the modern analytic stack.
