Customers now have a clearer path to augment client and server-based analytics tool sets with a solution that is specifically built for Big Data solutions like Apache Spark. “Efficient model building and easy-to-understand visuals that Decision Trees bring to data science teams allows users to not only create analytic models to generate insights and predictions, but they can also manipulate, combine and profile data sources entirely within a Spark cluster,” said Rami Chahine, Vice President, Product Management. “All while delivering the same workflow building experience that customers have come to value, with intuitive, interactive workflows and no need for coding.”

Data science teams that are modeling in a Big Data environment, and outside of it, can use Angoss KnowledgeSTUDIO for Apache Spark to efficiently build analytic workflows using large, small and wide datasets in a Spark environment. Datawatch Angoss market-leading decision tree interface can now be used by data scientists and business analysts, without having to move data out of Spark.
