HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric
What it is
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric brings information from on-premises, multiple clouds, and edge deployments together in one logical data store. It handles files, object data, NoSQL databases, and streams, with transaction support, strong consistency, multi-region support, and horizontal scaling. Developers can build applications using industry-standard APIs, languages, and protocols. Its object store supports S3 API access, WORM compliance, event delivery to data streams, and analytics through Apache Spark, Apache Drill, Presto, and S3 Select. Certified open-source tools and engines can integrate directly for in-place analytics. Security capabilities include FIPS 140-2 Level 1 support when FIPS mode is enabled, as well as dynamic masking of designated fields in JSON queries. HPE offers a community edition and says users can request an enterprise 30-day trial license. Pricing is on request; as-a-service monthly charges depend on storage used and the selected tier. The community edition has limited nodes, lacks high availability and advanced storage options such as snapshots and global replication, and has no technical support. HPE says it is not intended for production.
