参考架构观察

Doug Henschen “16 Top Big Data Analytics Platforms”（ InformationWeek, 2014-01-30），Doug 在评价每个大数据分析平台（不论是 Hortonworks、MapR）时都有一个硬件集成（Hardware）指标。下面是描述 HP 公司的一段话：

 

Hardware/software systems: HP ConvergedSystem 300 for Vertica, plus a choice of reference architectures for Cloudera, Hortonworks, and MapR Hadoop distributions. HP calls its big-data-platform architecture HAVEn, an acronym for Hadoop, Autonomy, Vertica, Enterprise Security, and "n" applications. HP doesn't have its own Hadoop distribution, but it provides reference hardware configurations for leading Hadoop software distributors.

 

 

之前从 SUSE、BigFoot 看到过针对 OpenStack 的参考架构，实际上站在咨询公司或者咨询师的视角看 OpenStack 的发行商，是可以有一个硬件配置的衡量指标，想想 EMA（Enterprise Management Associates）负责融合、超融合或者一般商业服务器咨询的顾问一定有硬件集成使用方面的观点和建议。
