Informatica HParser Now Available on Amazon Elastic MapReduce

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 14, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Informatica
Corporation (Nasdaq:INFA), the world's number one independent provider
of data integration software, today announced that it has made
Informatica HParser, the first data transformation environment
optimized for Hadoop, available to customers in the cloud, with Amazon
Web Services (AWS).

"Customers are faced with a wide variety of data formats in today's
analytics workflows, so we're excited about the integration of
Informatica HParser with Amazon Elastic MapReduce," said Peter Sirota,
General Manager of Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR). "Customers can now
work with complex data in an easy to use environment, and ask questions
of those data at any scale on AWS."

Informatica HParser is available to all Amazon EMR customers, and
provides immediate access to data parsing, hierarchical data mapping
and transformation tools which aim to make it easy for organisations to
find value in their data using skills and resources they have today.
Leveraging the power of the Hadoop framework on Amazon EMR, customers
can quickly provision the resources they need for their analytics
pipelines, without large capital investment or complex software
configuration, paying only for the resources they consume.

HParser on Amazon EMR makes it substantially easier, faster and less
costly to prepare structured and unstructured data for analysis. It
does this by enabling access to all data formats and structures in a
visual build-by-example environment, with out-of-the-box support for
logs and binary formats, and with packaged data transformations for
industry formats including ACORD, FIX, SWIFT, HL7 and EDI.

The unique advantages of HParser on EMR include:


  -- Commercial support for parsing and transforming data from the leader in
     enterprise data integration.
  -- Ability to handle complex datasets and transformations using Hadoop in
     the cloud.
  -- Visual IDE for testing out-of-the-box parsers and developing custom
     parsers.
  -- Rapid building, testing and provisioning of Hadoop data processing
     pipelines.
  -- No risk trial of HParser on Amazon EMR through the use of sample
     datasets.




"We look forward to continuing to work with AWS in empowering customers
to maximize their return on big data," said Girish Pancha, executive
vice president and chief product officer, Informatica. "Amazon EMR
provides an excellent avenue for big data processing on Hadoop, and
HParser brings to it enterprise-grade parsing and mapping of complex
data sets, such as logs, documents, hierarchical data and other
industry standard formats. HParser on Amazon EMR, HParser will help
make data integration and analytics easier, faster and cheaper for our
customers."
