Hortonworks Achieves Quality Assurance and Certification for Rackspace Private Cloud

Today we announced Hortonworks Data Platform certification for Rackspace Private Cloud. In fact, we are the only Apache Hadoop distribution certified with Rackspace Private Cloud. The result of combining the power of enterprise-class Apache Hadoop in Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) with Rackspace Private Cloud, is that organizations now have a secure, scalable environment to refine, explore and enrich their data using Hadoop in the cloud. With HDP, data can be processed from applications that are hosted on Rackspace Private Cloud environments, allowing you to quickly and easily obtain additional business insights from this information. The provisioning, monitoring and management components of HDP are important enablers for the integration with the Rackspace Private Cloud, providing an easy path for getting data into and out of the cloud.
