There is Alteryx Designer, Alteryx Server and now why not an "Alteryx Cluster"?
- I've seen some vendors merging the self-service analytics tools with Hadoop
- I presume they believe the business unit needs to create a data lake for a specific purpose for a specific time span (like a dedicated analytics project etc.), not so frequently but yes they do.
- And these vendors too want this without a need for full stack IT developers or having to invest in huge bare metal databases...
Does it sound attractive to you to build a Alteryx Server+Hortonworks bundle or package that you may set it on 2 or more machines and your compute cluster is ready to go?!
As far as I know Alteryx Server has MongoDB installed on it
guess not to create a data lake but to store gallery macros and version history...
