Manifesto: Hortonworks

"A tsunami wave of data flooding in from every click, tap and swipe, machine, device and person. IT’S BEYOND BIG DATA NOW. IT’S ANYTHING DATA. IT’S MAMMOTH, COLOSSAL, HUMONGOUS AND TINY. In the Internet of Anything, the world of any device, anything, anyone at anytime, any data, that understanding what happened is no longer good enough; we need to predict what happens next. There’s a realization happening that data is only useful if it can transform from bits in billions of things, devices and apps, into intelligence in minds. So minds can be smarter, learn, decide and create more. Businesses realize they are data businesses. That data is their future. A valuable business asset. They know they must realize its true value by activating the value chain from data to actionable intelligence ... We make it possible to solve the hard problems of creating actionable intelligence from data through open architectures for the modern digital enterprise.  For all the visionaries, creators and makers who are building the future out there, we stand right behind you: helping you with data-at-rest and data-in-motion, in real time and near time, predictive, streaming, structured, unstructured and anything in between ..."
