Background and Opportunity

Modern businesses create huge volumes of data across a variety of sources, in various formats, at extreme speed. Legacy applications stifle innovation and limit the efficiency of business processes. The majority of Fortune 1000 companies are re-platforming their IT infrastructure and deploying apps in private and public clouds. There is a consensus that a converged data platform is required to support the broadest range of processing models.

MapR Converged Data Platform provides a platform for data-intensive applications that has limitless scale, extremely high performance, built-in security, reliability / DR, and monitoring. It offers files, tables, and message streams in a single data fabric, used by customers to serve both analytic and operational workloads. It supports industry-standard APIs (HDFS, NFS / POSIX, ANSI SQL, JSON, Kafka) to eliminate vendor lock-in. The platform runs on commodity hardware in the cloud or on-prem, in both bare-metal and containerized environments, and scales to thousands of nodes and petabyte scale.

Marquee customers include Fortune 1000 companies like UnitedHealth, American Express, and Cisco, as well as Web 2.0 initiatives and companies like Aadhaar, comScore, and Rubicon Project.

MapR is a software product company combining open source with patented, proprietary innovations. It has over 600 employees across 11 countries, headquartered in Silicon Valley. The company is well-capitalized, having raised more than $200M from top-tier investors including Google Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Mayfield, NEA, and Redpoint Ventures.
