This section demonstrates two different solutions, each with its own advantages.
This solution deploys an Amazon EMR cluster on PowerScale. PowerScale is the default HDFS file system for the Hadoop components running on Amazon EMR cluster. All the EMR Hadoop cluster data is stored and accessed from PowerScale though HDFS protocol.
This Hadoop tiered storage solution provides an architecture that can support cross-namespace analytics. With this solution, you can use both AWS EMR direct-attached storage (DAS) and an alternate storage media, such as PowerScale storage. Also, you can run analytics jobs and toolsets across data that spans these storage tiers.
The Hadoop tiered-storage solution from Dell Technologies enables the following:
Deployment options are as follows:
