AUSTIN, Texas – June 13, 2012 – Pervasive Software Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), a global leader in cloud-based and on-premises data innovation, today announced availability of Pervasive Data Integrator™ v10 - Hadoop Edition, to enable Apache Hadoop users to rapidly flow all their business data both to and from their Hadoop-based big data stores.  

“As Hadoop adoption explodes, organizations with big data challenges need the agility to combine and process data from all their operations within the new highly scalable data stores,” said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO and general manager of Pervasive Big Data Products and Solutions.  “The combination of our high performance HDFS and HBase connectors and Pervasive Data Integrator’s award winning visual ETL tooling eradicates the need for custom MapReduce code for executing data import-export operations.”  

“I’m particularly jazzed about our high-performance HBase loading.  For the first time, users can now effortlessly with a single click move data from traditional data stores including DB2, MySQL, Netezza, PostgreSQL, SQLServer, Oracle, Teradata and Vertica directly and easily into HBase, the dominant NoSQL database provided free with all Hadoop distributions,” Hoskins said.

The product is free for development and prototyping, and can be downloaded at http://bigdata.pervasive.com/Products/Data-Integrator-Hadoop-Edition.aspx. 

“Demand for powerful big data analytic platforms is coming at us quickly, but fast, easy capabilities have so far been in short supply.  With its Data Integrator technology, Pervasive is helping to bridge all non-Hadoop data easily into Hadoop with no MapReduce code, helping companies to just get it done,” said Shawn Rogers, vice president of Enterprise Management Associates. “Buyers are executing increasingly complex workloads against massive amounts of data at high speed, pulling in data from all of their applications and data stores into a big data analytics workstream, and this approach enables them to do this quickly and effectively.” 

“Hadoop badly needs visual data integration tooling, so the extension of Pervasive Data Integrator to Hadoop is a welcome development. With its integration technology, you can now use Pervasive to help get data into Hadoop, manipulate it, and understand your results, enabling an end-to-end solution for big data needs,” said Jack Hakim, CEO of EC Wise.

Pervasive will be demonstrating Pervasive Data Integrator – Hadoop Edition at the Hadoop Summit June 13 – 14 in Kiosk Booth C9 of the San Jose Convention Center.
