SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/13/14 -- Concurrent, Inc., the enterprise data application platform company, today announced product and corporate momentum securing the company's leadership in enterprise application development. The company recently announced strategic industry partnerships with Hortonworks and Databricks, as well as new product innovation with the introduction of Driven, the industry's first application performance management product for data-centric applications. Today Concurrent also introduced the next version of Cascading, the most widely used application development framework for building data applications on technologies like Apache Hadoop.

Enterprises have always been operationalizing their data. But as business needs continue to change and new technologies -- such as Apache Hadoop and now Apache Tez -- emerge, organizations need a reliable way to quickly build and consistently deliver these data products. This requires leveraging existing skill sets, while meeting new requirements (i.e. latency, scale, service level agreements) supported by these emerging technologies.
