"We are built for the new world of data, a world that's more fluid and agile, and where every data analyst can participate in Data Science. Our solution takes advantage of the storage and compute power of distributed systems like Hadoop or databases like Greenplum -- and it does so without putting a burden on IT departments, developers or data scientists. With our software, customers are up and running in hours and their analytical teams can run complex algorithms on top of large data systems without having to move data around, or code their way through MapReduce or Pig."
Alpine's technology is being implemented by global industry leaders like A.T Kearney, Havas Media, Sony, Nike and Barclays.
Some were so captivated by the Alpine's depth and approach that they asked to participate in this round: "Our introduction to Alpine came about as we were surveying the market for a solution for our own use," said Luis Llovera, Managing Director at Robert Bosch LLC.

The Alpine architecture allows a company such as ours to gain more meaningful insights from our data and get to more powerful business impact."

"The market is prime for our technology and approach," explains Otto, "Companies of all sizes have made a bet on Hadoop and it's now time for them to leverage that data into the 'killer app' of big data: Analytics!"
