Altiscale, the Hadoop-as-a-service startup co-founded by former Yahoo CTO Raymie Stata that launched in June, is now offering its Data Cloud platform to the public. It’s a cloud service in the same vein as Amazon Elastic MapReduce, although it’s probably more similar to fellow startup Qubole. Altiscale is custom-built to run Hadoop workloads (or Spark, or most anything that can run easily on YARN), is fully managed and automatically scales resources to meet the demands of a job. “There hasn’t been a customer yet that we haven’t been able to improve reliability for,” Stata told me recently, primarily by improving efficiency and eliminating failures.
