Reducing time for data transfer to Hadoop processing server
The data stored in the storage system can be accessed directly, and processed, using the Fujitsu distributed file system in addition to the "Apache Hadoop" distributed file system.
Under Hadoop, business application data is temporarily transferred to "HDFS" before it is processed. In contrast, when the Fujitsu distributed file system is used, data transfer is not necessary, greatly reducing the processing time.
Use of existing tools without modification
Existing tools, such as backup and print tools, can be used without modification because the interface with the storage system used to store data is the Linux standard interface.
