Why Zettaset?

Hadoop administration is painful and prone to error. Administrators must possess not only classic operating system skills, but require cluster management skills unique to the cloud computing environment. Experience is critical and continued maintenance is a foregone conclusion. Dedicating teams of engineers to deploy and manage Hadoop drains technical resources quickly. Contracting professional service organizations is expensive and cannot evolve with your changing needs without further investment.  With Zettaset, you can eliminate much of the hassle of Hadoop without sacrificing control. By handling the common issues of Hadoop deployment and providing interfaces and tools for analysis, Zettaset makes you the expert. And with our years of experience in the security industry, you can be sure that your data is protected.

• Zettaset provides 3 levels of service failover. At the simplest level, all critical services that are not detected are automatically restarted (this is what Cloudera does). At the second level, all single node services (i.e. JobTracker) are automatically failed over to an elected master. At the third level, all single node services with critical data (i.e. NameNode) are state-replicated to an elected backup master and a new backup master is elected and provisioned in the event of failure.


• Zettaset provides a generalized framework for failover of ANY critical service (i.e. MongoDB, Apache Web Server, etc) at any of the previously mentioned levels.


• Developed by former Apple engineers, our web UI is intuitive without sacrificing functionality. It provides a 10,000 foot view of the health of your cluster by clearly displaying and prioritizing the statuses of all critical and non-critical services. In addition, administrators can stop and start services from the same UI.


• Our interface streamlines the data analysis by providing facilities for uploading jobs, performing queries, tuning performance parameters, and executing the job while providing you with continuous feedback on the progress. All of this configuration is saved and cataloged for future use.


• Kerberos encryption and authentication is fully implemented, ensuring that no unauthorized data access occurs, without sacrificing speed or usability.
