The Forrester WaveTM: Cloud Data Warehouse, Q4 2018 has been published by Forrester. This is the first time Forrester Wave has published a review of Cloud Data Warehouse (CDW) solutions. The report on cloud data warehouse’s current product functions, product routes and development strategies, market performance and other aspects of a comprehensive evaluation, in the product ability ranking, Ali Cloud force pressure Microsoft ranking 7.
The Forrester review evaluated CDW core functionality in terms of solution diversity, data integration, performance and flexibility scaling, and security. Alibaba Cloud (MaxCompute+DataWorks+ADB) provides a reliable data analysis platform on top of an extensive infrastructure capable of meeting customers’ real-time and EB-scale data processing needs. We’ve been covering DataWorks in detail, but today we’re going to talk about MaxCompute.
Eb-level data processing capability
Let’s start with a set of data.
On November 11, 2018, MaxCompute processed more than 600PB of data in a single day, and stably supported 120,000 online traffic peak of e-commerce mixed distribution unit /s, carrying 45% of guide traffic, providing strong guarantee and smooth support for the peak value of November 11 transaction.
MaxCompute is a fast, fully hosted data warehouse solution, commonly known as large distributed data computing, so large scale computing is the most fundamental capability. MaxCompute has been the main computing platform of Alibaba, supporting 99% of big data storage and 95% of computing within Alibaba Group, and the data scale has reached EB level. The double 11 scenario mentioned above is a good demonstration of the capacity of scale.
Of course, it has other advantages over traditional Hadoop. MaxCompute provides users with a comprehensive data import solution and a variety of classical distributed computing models, which can quickly solve the problem of computing massive data for users, effectively reduce enterprise costs, and ensure data security.
On the whole, it has the following characteristics:
● MaxCompute is optimized for computing engine and distributed storage. MaxCompute has the lowest cost and time consumption in Sort Benchmark, ensuring the best performance/price ratio.
● Server resources, cluster scale are dynamic elastic expansion, no user care.
● Support SQL, MR, iterative calculation, memory calculation, graph calculation and other calculation models.
Experienced large-scale application practice
MaxCompute is currently providing big data computing power to enterprises around the world. Guan Tao, head of Alibaba’s General computing platform, once said, “MaxCompute is growing by 250 percent of users and computing volume every year on the public cloud, and has deployed services in more than a dozen countries and regions around the world to provide computing power to local enterprises.”
For example, the bottom layer of the city brain uses MaxCompute for storage and big data computing, which has enabled cities like Hangzhou, Macau, and Kuala Lumpur to upgrade their intelligence. Among them, the computing platform composed of MaxCompute, PAI and streaming computing service plays a great role.
In addition, MaxCompute has been widely used in various industries:
With hundreds of millions of weather queries and billions of AD requests per day, MaxCompute is well positioned to meet this challenge. MaxCompute enables Inkweather to quickly respond to hundreds of millions of daily weather queries and accurately deliver billions of AD requests. In the Internet insurance industry, MaxCompute helps Zhongan achieve accurate user portrait analysis, helping enterprises provide billions of policy services for hundreds of millions of users, improving enterprise efficiency and improving health and safety for hundreds of millions of users.
All in all, MaxCompute can provide fast and stable computing power through Aliyun for users in scenarios with massive data processing requirements.
conclusion
As you can see from Forrester’s research report, big data technology has entered the CDW phase, providing a reliable data analysis platform on top of a broad infrastructure, where real-time and large-scale data computing is the core requirement of customers.
As a big data computing platform, MaxCompute is not only a single engine, but also a complete service for enterprises. Over the past 10 years, MaxCompute has provided data capabilities to a wide range of cloud enterprises while steadily supporting all data services of Alibaba Group. MaxCompute based on the construction of stable, secure, scalable and efficient interaction with the application system of the data center, has become a number of industries under the customer’s digital transformation of the first choice.
