"Linaro recognizes the importance of ODPi's work to promote and advance the state of Apache Hadoop and Big Data technologies for the enterprise while minimizing fragmentation and redundant effort. Linaro's own focus is similar to this in developing open source software for the ARM ecosystem and it makes perfect sense that where these two areas intersect that Linaro and ODPi should work together to ensure ARM is fully supported and that fragmentation is minimized across the industry."

“As a small company running Apache Hadoop distributions and looking to expand in the Russian market, becoming ODPi Runtime compliant will help us provide current and future customers reassurance that their developing and testing applications will work across multiple platform providers.”

“SAS is pleased to announce that we are the first software vendor to achieve the distinction of ODPi Interoperable. By declaring that SAS interfaces with Apache Hadoop in demonstrable, standard ways, we can reduce our customers’ risk, simplify testing complexity and speed time to value for anyone building or deploying SAS applications.”

"With its broader, flexible approach to standardizing the Hadoop stack, ODPi is particularly attractive to smaller companies, such as Ampool. Instead of spending testing/qualification cycles across different distributions and respective versions, the reference implementation would really help reduce both the effort and risk of Hadoop integration for us."

“ODPi has eliminated significant risk for both developers and end users, by providing a set of standards that makes it possible for an ecosystem of interoperable, enterprise class big data applications to evolve and flourish. WANdisco (LSE:WAND) is extremely pleased to have achieved ODPi Interoperable compliance for Fusion 2.9 and become part of that ecosystem. Our patented replication technology reduces risk even further, by ensuring ODPi Compliant Hadoop Platforms deliver continuous availability and performance, benefitting every application deployed on them.”

“At Hortonworks, we aim to speed Hadoop adoption through ecosystem interoperability rooted in open source so enterprise customers can reap the benefits of increased choice with more modern data applications and solutions. As a founding member, we are pleased to see ODPi’s first release become available to the ecosystem and look forward to our continued involvement to accelerate the adoption of modern data applications.”

“ODPi is providing a common specification to develop big data apps, opening up choices for developers by enabling interoperability across different distribution and application offerings. Having this platform to count on, starting with a small, specific and consistent packaging model that lives within the ecosystem, is extremely valuable to application developers. This will be a key differentiator for IBM to serve customers, which is why we have become ODPi Runtime compliant.”

“We are thrilled to be able to provide our customers with Syncsort DMX-h 9.0 as an ODPi Interoperable solution. Interoperability helps to streamline the development and testing process, which, in turn allows us to focus our resources on supporting our customers’ big data requirements.”

“4C Decision strives to provide business value for our customers by applying the most cutting edge technologies for big data, allowing them to foresee their next business decisions. We see ODPi as a vital component to the big data ecosystem that will enable the future of business. We are excited to improve our client solutions by leveraging standardized ODPi components.”
