Big data security solutions provider Zettaset has added a new feature to Zettaset Orchestrator, the secure management platform for Hadoop. Secure HBase is an HBase upgrade designed to enhance reliability, security, and process automation. 

HBase is a NoSQL database that’s perfect for situations where fast and small updates and lookups at scale are required.

“Secure HBase from Zettaset is a result of the company’s strength and experience developing software designed to meet the demanding requirements of enterprise customers for secure solutions,” says Zettaset CEO Jim Vogt.

“From its inception, Zettaset Orchestrator was carefully architected with the flexibility to function at the systems-management level, and with the openness to support multiple database types,” Vogt adds.

“The integration of Secure HBase into our Orchestrator platform validates our ability to secure and automate management of NoSQL databases such as Accumulo and Cassandra, as well as the native Hadoop file system.”

Check out the features and benefits of using Zettaset Secure HBase:

-Powerful, centralized administration with an intuitive web-based interface that automates and simplifies installation and management; -Centralized logging of HBase user activity for reporting and compliance purposes; -Granular selection of nodes for HBase Master and Region servers at the time of installation; -Fine-grained role-based access control at table, column family, and column levels; ideal for organizations with multiple organizational units and multi-tenancy requirements; -Encryption of all on-disk data-at-rest, as well as encryption of data-in-transit between HBase Master and Region servers; -HBase command Line Shell and REST API can be used to access secure HBase tables; -Automated fail-over of HBase and all other Hadoop services under Orchestrator’s High-Availability service umbrella; -Rich performance metrics via Ganglia.

For instance, Zettaset Orchestrator with Secure Hbase is ideal for organizations that want to restrict retrieval of certain data sets from databases, or restrict access to it using fine-grained, role-based access control.

Hadoop is an open source framework managed by the Apache Software Foundation and designed for processing large amounts of data on clusters of commodity hardware.

Zettaset Orchestrator is fully compatible with branded Hadoop distributions such as the ones from Cloudera and Hortonworks. The solution can be useful for organizations that rely on Hadoop because it provides security and administration functionality.

Orchestrator, which can be used to replace Cloudera Manager or Ambari, comes with an easy-to-use interface that automates and simplifies tasks that must be carried out regularly, eliminating the reliance on specialized services.
