AUSTIN, Texas – April 17, 2012 – Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), a global leader in cloud-based and on-premises data innovation, today announced that it is working with Cloudera to break down the barriers to rapid, successful adoption of Apache Hadoop, with the certification of Pervasive RushAnalyzer™ 1.2.2  as Cloudera Certified Technology. 

Designed for data scientists, business analysts and big data developers, Pervasive RushAnalyzer provides end-to-end data access, transformation, analysis, visualization and delivery.  Without writing a single line of code, business users can build and deploy advanced analytics solutions on multiple platforms, including Apache Hadoop, eliminating the need for specialized big data programming skills.  

The Cloudera Certification process validates product compatibility with Cloudera’s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop (CDH), which provides a streamlined path for putting Apache Hadoop to work harnessing big data to solve business problems. Similarly, Pervasive RushAnalyzer provides a simplified route for users to get immediate value out of their Hadoop implementations. The Cloudera assessment addresses overall architecture, observance of the Apache Hadoop interface classification system, integration sufficiency, compliance with Cloudera support policies and requirements, and cluster capability using real-world workloads and micro-benchmarks. 

Pervasive DataRush became a Cloudera Certified Technology in September 2011. 

“Our customers value the assurance provided by Cloudera’s certification in providing tested and validated products that work with Apache Hadoop to successfully tackle big data,” said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO and general manager, Pervasive Big Data Products and Solutions.  “Together, Pervasive and Cloudera are focused on enabling companies to rapidly discover new insights and deploy operational solutions leveraging big data at any scale, and this certification provides certainty in making investments in this platform.”  

“Pervasive RushAnalyzer’s visual environment is an effective tool for organizations that want to fully and more easily leverage Hadoop's capabilities,” said Tim Stevens, Vice President of Business and Corporate Development at Cloudera. “We are excited that this solution is certified on Cloudera's Distribution Including Apache Hadoop, enabling our joint customers to confidently take advantage of end-to-end, high speed data access, preparation and analysis.”
