Open sourced R software, with more than two million users worldwide, is alreadyseen by many as a standard for modern analytics tasks. Now it is available as a commercial, packaged big data solution on Amazon’s cloud applications AWS Marketplace.
This comes from Revolution Analytics, which claims to be the onlycommercial provider of R software. It has produced Revolution R Enterprise 7 (RRE 7), which it says is the industry’s only Big Data Big Analytics platform powered by R.
It is available as cloud-delivered service, which should open up big data analytics to a wide range of different businesses, from SMBs to major enterprises with data analytics requirements that do not warrant an on-premise investment.
This should give customers on-demand access to high-performance predictive analytics for such tasks as accelerating growth, optimising operations, and expediting data insight and discovery from any place at any time. RRE 7 on AWS Marketplace includes extended support for both Linux and Windows users.
“We are pleased to partner with Revolution Analytics to connect RStudio Server Pro with Revolution R Enterprise”
“The cloud is rapidly becoming an integral part of every CTO’s infrastructure strategy,” said Greg Todd, CTO, Revolution Analytics. “Revolution R Enterprise 7 on the AWS Marketplace provides the high-performance Big Data capabilities and ease of access to support modern IT needs.”
Through the AWS Marketplace, users can run computations on data sets up to 1 Terabyte on cloud-based Windows and Linux multi-CPU instances from 2 to 32 virtual CPUs, accessing data stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Relational Data Service (RDS).
Utility pricing for both versions starts at $1.25 per core per hour with no long-term commitments. RRE 7 users can also register for support on a monitored forum.
The Windows version of RRE 7 is accessed with Windows Remote Desktop and includes Revolution R Enterprise DevelopR, an IDE for R developers. The Linux version is available through a browser and the IDE for R developers is RStudio Server Pro.
"We are pleased to partner with Revolution Analytics to connect RStudio Server Pro with Revolution R Enterprise,” said JJ Allaire, founder and CEO, RStudio. “The web-based interface of RStudio Server was designed for the cloud, and makes it easy for data scientists to use R from anywhere."
RRE 7 also enables data analysts and IT teams to write code just once and deploy it anywhere in a variety of data management platforms, enterprise data warehouses, grids, clusters, servers and workstations without re-engineering costs. It is the only big data analytics platform to include a library of algorithms that run inside the Cloudera and Hortonworks Hadoop platforms and in Teradata databases, with the highest possible performance.
A 14-day free trial is available with no software charge is available here, though standard AWS cloud usage charges apply.
