Pivotal HAWQ Now Certified on Hortonworks Data Platform 

Pivotal and Hortonworks today announced that Pivotal HAWQ, a key product in the Pivotal Big Data Suite, is now available on the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), a widely used Hadoop platform. By running Pivotal HAWQ on HDP, all the benefits of the best-in-class SQL on Hadoop engine can now be leveraged by enterprises that are investing in HDP.

In addition, with new support for Apache Ambari, Pivotal HAWQ moves away from a proprietary management and configuration framework to an open source, Hadoop-native environment, minimizing the total cost of ownership in managing the Hadoop stack, including Pivotal HAWQ.

Pivotal is aligning with the work of the Open Data Platform (ODP) by enabling the latest release of Pivotal HAWQ, to work out-of-the-box with HDP, now based on the ODP Core.

Pivotal HAWQ Now Certified on Hortonworks Data Platform 

Pivotal HAWQ is the world's most advanced SQL on Hadoop engine. Pivotal HAWQ's full SQL compliance for analytic workloads addresses the business needs of enterprises much more rapidly than with the traditional Hadoop stack and has now achieved HDP Certification ensuring for customers that the integration has been rigorously tested and validated by the engineering teams at Hortonworks and Pivotal.

HDP is an enterprise-grade data management platform that enables a centralized architecture for running batch, interactive and real-time analytics and data processing applications simultaneously across shared datasets. HDP is built on Apache Hadoop, powered by YARN, and supported by shared services for consistent operations, comprehensive security, and trusted governance for a reliable enterprise-ready data lake.

Pivotal HAWQ on HDP can be deployed by purchasing Pivotal Big Data Suite flex licenses from Pivotal and HDP from Hortonworks.  Pivotal HAWQ will continue to be supported on the Pivotal's Hadoop distribution, Pivotal HD, through the Big Data Suite license.
