Introduction
Datameer builds on the power and scalability of Apache Hadoop to deliver big data analytic solutions that are easy to build as well as being cost efficient. Datameer integrates rapidly with existing and new data sources to deliver sophisticated analytics. Datameer tools simplify extraction, transformation and loading, and real-time data retrieval.
The Datameer approach is focused on ease of use for business users without imposing an additional load on the IT organization.
- A familiar interactive spreadsheet interface allows you to easily navigate and analyze large data volumes
- Over 175 built-in functions offer business users powerful, but easy-to-use data analytics for exploring and discovering complex relationships
- Drag & drop reporting and charting facilitates the effortless creation and customization of personalized data visualizations (infographics)
- Plug-in API supports building custom functions

Datameer includes built-in fault resilience for high application availability, and elastic expansion to dynamically expand storage capacity without system downtime. The advanced data compression increases performance and decreases storage requirements.

Connect to Various Types of Data
Each type of data is set up as a connection so it can be used by Datameer. For example, you can have sales data from an Oracle or MySQL server, other content from a CSV file exported from Excel, twitter feeds about your company and products, and customer call logging data from yet another source. You can easily pull all that information into Datameer.
...
Process and Analyze Data
You create a workbook in Datameer that connects to one or more of these sources of data which you can then use to do analysis. For example, you could use sales data from your corporate database, twitter feeds, customer call logging data--all from different sources as the basis for your analysis. See Working with Workbooks to learn how to connect to one or more data sources.
...
Visualize and Export Data
The data saved with a workbook is available for use when creating infographicswhen visualizing data or when creating an export job. You choose what data gets saved in the Save Workbook settings page. See Working with Workbooks to learn more.
...
System administrators can also optimize performance by optimizing the configuration of the Hadoop cluster. See the Hadoop and Datameer page.
Data Storage
Datameer preserves state information in the File Browser's localStorage for workbooks, including column view information (ex. such as width, position, etc..). For infographics, Datameer preserves revision states for undo/redo operations and to prevent losing unsaved changes when refreshing the browser page. At no point does Datameer store actual data in the browser cache.
