Qubole Becomes AWS Advanced Technology Partner
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 1 -- Qubole, the big data-as-a-service company founded by the team that developed Facebook's data infrastructure, today announced it is now an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Advanced Technology Partner.
Qubole's self-service platform for big data analytics runs on AWS. It is a fully managed big data offering that leverages the latest open source technologies, such as Apache Hadoop, Hive, Presto and Spark, to provide a comprehensive cloud-based data analytics platform complete with enterprise security features, an easy to use UI and built in data governance.
The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global partner program, focused on helping partners build a successful AWS-based business by providing business, technical, marketing, and go-to-market support. As an APN Advanced Technology Partner, Qubole has access to a variety of tools, training, and support to further enhance the company's data platform. To achieve Advanced Technology Partner status, companies must meet stringent requirements and pass an AWS technical review.
