Qubole Wins DataWeek Award as Top Innovator in Hadoop Technologies
Mountain View, CA (PRWEB) September 19, 2013 -- Qubole™, the leading Big Data as a Service provider, is proud to announce reaching 1st place in the DataWeek Awards. Qubole Data Service (QDS) won the award for excellence in Innovation in Hadoop Technologies, one of over a dozen categories highlighting the best of the data industry. Qubole will be officially recognized for its award at the DataWeek conference, beginning September 28 in downtown San Francisco.
The category of Innovation in Hadoop was highly competitive, featuring entries from Datameer and MapR Technologies, among others, but Qubole brought home the prize. DataWeek organizers highlighted Qubole’s commitment to making Big Data accessible for companies of all sizes.
“We are excited to see so many new technology solutions and major product updates in the big data, social data, data science, and 20+ innovative categories,” said Geoff Domoracki, Founder of DataWeek. “The top-performing technologies in the data industry are definitely taking aim at democratizing data tools and bringing the power of data to smaller businesses. This is a major change in the data industry, and Qubole Data Service is a great example.”
Qubole has enjoyed rapid adoption by both smaller and enterprise businesses, just as Domoracki described. In fact, Qubole Data Service has seen a new milestone in data processed for the second month in a row. In July, Qubole‘s customers processed more than one full petabyte of data in a single month. That pales in comparison to Qubole’s usage in August; however, as over 2.5 petabytes of customer data was processed.
VP of Marketing Gil Allouche commented, “As we continue to reach new heights each month with customer wins, industry awards, and data milestones, Qubole’s team is fired up and motivated to work even harder. We appreciate the recognition and the raised expectations that go along with it, and we are staying focused on innovation and leading the way in Big Data.”
