IBM Analytics Engine provides an architecture for Hadoop clusters that decouples the compute and storage tiers. Instead of a permanent cluster formed of dual-purpose nodes, the Analytics Engine allows users to store data in an object storage layer such as IBM Cloud Object Storage and spins up clusters of compute notes when needed. Separating compute from storage helps to transform the flexibility, scalability and maintainability of big data analytics platforms.

| Product Manager at a hospitality company with 51-200 employees | 4.0 | We used IBM Analytics Engine to authenticate and segment data from vendors for reprocessing, ensuring high conversion accuracy. The initial setup took longer than expected, but the support team was helpful. Reducing setup requirements would simplify implementation. |
