At the Hadoop World conference in New York, Informatica Corp. announced a new
big data-ready version of its PowerCenter data integration (DI) offering, the aptlynamed PowerCenter Big Data Edition.Just as PowerCenter itself has evolved into
more-than-just-an-ETL tool it bundles data profiling, data cleansing, and other
features PowerCenter Big Data Edition might be called more-than-just-aHadoop-DI tool: it even includes vanilla PowerCenter.According to John Haddad,
director of product marketing with Informatica, the new big data-ready version of
PowerCenter bundles features such as data profiling, data cleansing, data
parsing, and sessionization capabilities. PowerCenter Big Data Edition also
includes a license for conventional PowerCenter, says Haddad; this permits
customers to run ETL or DI jobs in the context i.e., in Hadoop or on one or
more large SMP boxes
