Centerity Systems, Inc. Achieves HDP Certification

Boston, MA — December 15, 2015 – Centerity Systems, Inc., leading developer of a next-gen, end-to-end, IT monitoring platform for complex and hybrid environments, today announced that it has joined the Hortonworks Partnerworks ISV/IHV program and has successfully achieved Hortonworks’ Certification for Centerity Monitor. Centerity will integrate the Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP™) with Centerity Monitor to enable real-time business analytics regarding the performance and service level (SLAs) status of all critical IT business processes through its Business Service Management (BSM) features. Centerity’s customers can now benefit from enhanced integration with Apache ™ Hadoop ® to provide a real-time business intelligence layer across the entire IT environment delivering predictive, trend, impact and root cause analytics to reduce operational complexity, MTTR and OPEX.

By achieving Certification, Centerity can now simplify and accelerate the deployment of Open Enterprise Hadoop with pre-built and validated integrations between leading enterprise technologies and HDP, the industry’s only 100-percent open source platform built on Apache Hadoop. To certify partner technologies, Hortonworks reviews each product for architectural best practices, validates it against a comprehensive suite of integration test cases and performs benchmarks for scale under varied workloads, while comprehensively documenting every step in the process. 

Centerity’s technology is a unique, unified IT Monitoring Platform, delivered as a single, installable software appliance, containing all features and functions necessary to deliver enterprise-class and carrier class IT monitoring capabilities.  These features include unique plug-in methodologies for extending coverage to new or novel technologies, agentless and agent-based capture methodologies, automatic discovery, automation and visualization tools, federated scalability and multi-tenanted operational efficiencies. With the integration of HDP, users can now see consolidated performance views of HDP correlated with the performance views of other applications, infrastructure and all other contributing IT assets for complete end-to-end visibility for proactive management of the entire IT environment.

“We are excited about our technical partnership with Hortonworks and the prospects of further integration with its open APIs for HDP, YARN, Hive, Ambari, Falcon and Hcatalog,” says Roi Keren, CEO of Centerity.  “These optimized integrations with Hadoop speed enterprise deployments and productivity that ultimately give customers the service assurance they need to scale and extend Hadoop to all its critical analytics projects,”

continues Roi.

HDP was built by the core architects, builders and operators of Apache Hadoop and includes all of the necessary components to manage a cluster at scale and uncover business insights from existing and new big data sources. HDP enables multiple workloads, applications and processing engines across single clusters with optimal efficiency. It also provides an open platform that deeply integrates with existing IT investments and upon which enterprises can build and deploy Hadoop-based applications.

“Hortonworks is dedicated to expanding and empowering the Apache Hadoop ecosystem, accelerating innovation and adoption of Open Enterprise Hadoop,” said Matt Morgan, vice president of product and alliance marketing, Hortonworks. “We are pleased to welcome Centerity Systems, Inc. to the Apache Hadoop community and look forward to working with them to help strengthen Hadoop’s role as the foundation of the next-generation data architecture.”
