HPCC Systems is a mature platform that has been heavily used in commercial applications for almost two decades, predating the development of Hadoop. Created by LexisNexis Risk Solutions, an innovative pioneer in big data processing, and open source for nearly a decade now, HPCC Systems features a vibrant development community that continues to push the boundaries of big data. This powerful, versatile platform makes it easier for developers to see the data they’re working with and manipulate it as needed. Flexible information delivery makes it easier for your clients to query and find the data they need — and it runs analysis and queries faster than other platforms such as SQL or Hadoop. Some key advantages to our platform include:

· Open source data lake platform
· Batch, real-time and streaming data ingestion
· Built-in data enhancement and Machine Learning APIs
· Scalable to many petabytes of data
· Runs on commodity hardware and in the cloud
· Allows for increased responsiveness to customers and stakeholders

You have two opportunities to learn more in recorded sessions from ODSC West:
· Demo Talk: HPCC Systems — The Kit and Kaboodle for Big Data and Data Science
· Workshop: Mastering the Data Lake with Remote HPCC Systems/ECL Training

We completely understand that most people don’t give their products away for free. HPCC Systems does. We can do this because the HPCC Systems data lake is the technology that drives LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group and RELX Group and our revenue stream comes from those businesses. LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group made HPCC Systems completely free to the open-source community because this platform and big data are our passion and being a part of the open-source community helps us grow and stay current.
