Hortonworks

Hortonworks was a technology company focused on big data and analytics, particularly known for developing software that allows organizations to store and process large amounts of data efficiently. Their primary product, Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), was built on Apache Hadoop, an open-source framework that helps manage and analyze vast datasets across distributed computing environments. Hortonworks aimed to make big data accessible and manageable for businesses, enabling them to derive insights and make data-driven decisions. In 2019, Hortonworks was acquired by Cloudera, another leader in the data management space, which integrated their technologies.
