Indian consultancy and outsourcing firm, Wipro, said that it has open sourced its big data product called Big Data Ready Enterprise (BDRE). Wipro feels that open sourcing BDRE will make the implementation of big data technology simpler and faster by elevating the big data workloads under an integrated unified framework. Wipro has also joined hands with California based company Hortonworks to add value to its open source edge. Herb Cunitz, President, Hortonworks said, “Hortonworks believes that the greatest innovation happens through collaboration in the open source community. We are glad to hear that Wipro has open sourced its big data & analytics product BDRE and taken a stride in contributing to the open source community.

How BDRE simplifies things for the enterprise?

• Wipro’s Apache license gives complete freedom to it and customize things as per the needs.
• Source can be easily obtained as per the specific requirement.

Bhanumurthy B.

BDRE will not only make big data technology adoption simpler and effective, it will also open opportunities across industry verticals that organizations can successfully leverage. Being at the forefront of innovation in big data, we are able to guide organizations that seek to benefit from the strategic, financial, organizational and technological benefits of adopting open source technologies.” The Open Source software consumption has shown an upward trend, which means it is growing at a faster pace.
