Hortonwors announced a deepening of its strategic partnership with HP . This news builds on the reseller partnership that they established in 2013 enabling HP to resell the Hortonworks Data Platform. It also allows Hortonworks to build on the HP AllianceOne ConvergedSystems Partner of the Year Award that we received at the recent HP Discover 2014 conference for our strategic partnership.
Given the rapid adoption of Enterprise Hadoop as a core component of a modern data architecture combined with the fact that HP is the world’s leading server vendor in terms of shipments AND revenues according to IDC – meaning a significant number of those Hadoop nodes are being deployed with HP technologies – it’s hardly surprising that we’ve been collaborating closely.
