Acunu Analytics: real-time Big Data without the heavy lifting


Acunu has allowed MixCloud to monitor and analyse data at a fraction of the cost of the value of the insight they now have access to.  It has allowed us to focus on the core business functions of connecting passionate people and the best DJ and radio broadcast talent out there

Acunu Analytics, powered by Apache Cassandra - the industry leading NoSQL database, enables you to quickly and simply build real-time monitoring and analytic applications. Acunu Analytics provides instant answers to rich queries on any stream of events, such as log data, financial market data, call detail records, ad impressions or clicks.

Acunu Analytics allows you to:
  • Power live dashboards
  • Raise alerts
  • Embed Acunu Analytics data visualizations in your own web apps
  • Pipe Acunu Analytics queries directly from your apps

Acunu Analytics, in combination with Apache Cassandra, takes the heavy lifting out of collecting, analyzing, storing and serving Big Data in real-time, at any scale. Together they slash the time it takes for you to launch the applications and services that deliver value to your business.


How does it work?
Acunu Analytics incrementally maintains roll-up cubes on data as it is ingested. It reflects fresh data immediately in queries on the cubes, queries that are close to instantaneous because they typically only retrieve pre-calculated results. And because the work is done at ingest time, query times do not increase as the accumulated data volume rises. 

Unlike Complex Event Processing (CEP) and real-time BI tools, Acunu Analytics can be scaled out across many nodes and stores all of its results. You are not limited by the capacity of a single machine or the amount of RAM available in your cluster. You can tackle high velocity, high volume data sets and do analysis that combines both historical and up-to-the-second data.  

Acunu Analytics on Apache Cassandra is an operational data store. Unlike Hadoop, it delivers real-time answers, with high availability and low latency. It can be used in conjunction with Hadoop or other data warehouses to support ad hoc analytics and general-purpose batch analytics. 

Storm, MQ and other event frameworks fit well with Acunu Analytics, which also is also integrated with Apache Flume. You can use these technologies to deliver streaming data to Acunu Analytics.

Acunu Analytics provides a set of aggregation functions, including counting events, summing over the value of an event field, as well as associate average and variance operations. Acunu Analytics supports both count distinct and top-k functions to show unique visitors, trending topics, slowest nodes or most valuable customers.
When an approximate answer is acceptable, Acunu Analytics offers variants of count distinct and top-k that allow you to choose an adjustable level of accuracy in exchange for dramatically improved performance.
Acunu Analytics supports GROUP BY operators to divide events across the values in a field. It supports automatic bucketing for time fields and hierarchical grouping to support URLs, paths and geo-spatial queries.

         Key Benefits:

Real time


Picture

Answers queries in milliseconds and maintains great performance however large the dataset grows.


Incremental

Picture
Updates results on ingest, rather than unnecessarily recomputing for every query or requiring batch indexing processes.


Easy

Picture
Visual, declarative tooling makes development of queries and dashboards highly productive. Simple, lightweight RESTful JSON interfaces make for easy embedding in apps and rapid set up of data ingest. Integrates easily with other event sources, including Apache Flume.


Scalable


Picture
Easily scales up to hundreds of millions of events and metrics stored durably to disk across many machines, unlike in-memory analytics packages.


High availability


Picture
Leverages Apache Cassandra to support always-on clusters that span multiple racks and data centers without a single point of failure.
