Open Data Platform

Enabling Big Data solutions to flourish atop a common core platform.
  • The current ecosystem is challenged and slowed by fragmented and duplicated efforts.

  • The ODP Core will take the guesswork out of the process and accelerate many use cases by running on a common platform.

  • Freeing up enterprises and ecosystem vendors to focus on building business driven applications.

The Open Data Platform Initiative (ODP) is a shared industry effort focused on promoting and advancing the state of Apache Hadoop® and Big Data technologies for the enterprise.

The Open Data Platform Will

  • 1

    Accelerate the delivery of Big Data solutions by providing a well-defined core platform to target.

  • 2

    Define, integrate, test, and certify a standard "ODP Core" of compatible versions of select Big Data open source projects.

  • 3

    Provide a stable base against which Big Data solutions providers can qualify solutions.

  • 4

    Produce a set of tools and methods that enable members to create and test differentiated offerings based on the ODP Core.

  • 5

    Reinforce the role of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) in the development and governance of upstream projects.

  • 6

    Contribute to ASF projects in accordance with ASF processes and Intellectual Property guidelines.

  • 7

    Support community development and outreach activities that accelerate the rollout of modern data architectures that leverage Apache Hadoop®.

  • 8

    Will help minimize the fragmentation and duplication of effort within the industry.

The ODP Core will initially focus on Apache Hadoop® (inclusive of HDFS, YARN, and MapReduce) and Apache® Ambari. Once the ODP members and processes are well established, the scope of the ODP Core may expand to include other open source projects.

The ODP Core will deliver the following benefits:
  • For Apache Hadoop® technology vendors, reduced R&D costs that come from a shared qualification effort
  • For Big Data application solution providers, reduced R&D costs that come from more predictable and better qualified releases
  • Improved interoperability within the platform and simplified integration with existing systems in support of a broad set of use cases
  • Less friction and confusion for Enterprise customers and vendors
  • Ability to redirect resources towards higher value efforts
