Big Data Firm MapR Expands to Europe

US-based big data analytics and business intelligence specialist MapR Technologies has opened a European HQ in London, from which it will provide technical support and a sales resource to accelerate the adoption of its solutions across the continent.

Launched in 2009, San Jose, California-based MapR develops Apache Hadoop-derived software, providing an infrastructure environment for aggregating and analyzing data. The new office will support agreements with existing clients, as well as system integration partners across Europe.

CEO and co-founder John Schroeder (pictured) comments: 'There has been phenomenal Hadoop demand across Europe for our performance, unprecedented dependability and ease of use advantages. Our European expansion is a response to our strong customer growth and partner momentum.'
