SGI DataRaptor is ideally suited for Big Data analysis challenges,
sophisticated search and rapid development of applications in financial
services, public sector and media and entertainment. The appliance integrates
the MarkLogic(r) enterprise-grade NoSQL database and SGI systems to allow
companies and organizations to capture more data and do more with it.
Standards-based hardware configurations designed specifically for the MarkLogic
database are factory-integrated and tested so that SGI DataRaptor delivers
everything needed to support Big Data applications in a single system that is
plug-and-play and can be up and running, delivering results in hours, not days. 

MarkLogic delivers a powerful and trusted enterprise-grade NoSQL database that
enables organizations to turn any and all data into valuable and actionable
information. Key features include ACID transactions, horizontal scaling,
real-time indexing, high availability, disaster recovery, government-grade
security, and built-in search. SGI DataRaptor allows organizations to spend
less time sizing up an infrastructure, deploying software and managing hardware
and more time building business relevant applications. 

'SGI has been providing compute and storage solutions for Big Data for over a
decade. Our solutions are enterprise-hardened and can handle any kind of data.
SGI DataRaptor is the latest addition to our Big Data portfolio, and is a
complete and open platform that is designed to support applications deriving
real business value from semi-structured and unstructured data. This is
extremely difficult or impossible to do with a traditional relational
database,' said SGI CEO Jorge Titinger. 'Jointly-developed with MarkLogic, the
appliance runs the best-of-breed NoSQL database on a simple to deploy platform:
just plug in and go.' 

SGI DataRaptor is available starting at five nodes with 80 cores, complete with
all software installed, hundreds of terabytes of storage, SSDs for hardware
caching, network infrastructure including switches, all integrated in standard
racks for datacenter deployment. Technical support for the complete solution is
managed via a single support touch point. 

'We collaborated closely with the SGI engineering team to tune hardware and
software to work optimally together,' said Gary Bloom, CEO of MarkLogic
Corporation. 'This is one more step in our efforts to make MarkLogic's powerful
and trusted software even more accessible to customers.' 

With deployment time reduced from weeks to hours, organizations minimize IT
headaches and the administrative overhead of managing Big Data and can focus
instead on getting real ROI from multiple sources of data. SGI DataRaptor makes
it possible to develop and deploy Big Data applications in record time, making
the monetization of content and the ability to leverage data sources like
social media in decision-making a reality. 

Availability

SGI DataRaptor comes in two configurations addressing either maximum
performance or maximum capacity needs. Servers come with over 300 processing
cores and over 2600GB of memory, and storage ranging from 300 to over 500TB of
data capacity. SGI DataRaptor is available for order today.
