Red Hat has extended its long-standing collaboration with Intel to bring Hadoop-based big data solutions to enterprises worldwide.

The goal here is to enable organizations to grow storage and compute resources at pace with data while protecting their investment in the integrated infrastructure.

Connectikpeople has observed that, the Intel Manager for Apache Hadoop can now configure, monitor, and manage GlusterFS as a Hadoop-compatible File

System(HCFS). The Hadoop Enablement solution avoids the cost and complexity associated with creating and managing another data silo for analytics.

The Intel Distribution also includes security mechanisms such as query authentication, data encryption, role-based access control, and auditing.
