Fremont, CA – March 24, 2015 – Exar Corporation (NYSE: EXAR), a leading supplier of high-performance integrated circuits and system solutions, today announced the certification of AltraHD hardware accelerated compression solution for Hadoop with the Cloudera Enterprise 5 platform.  Cloudera’s data management platform enables enterprises to use Apache’s open source software to better manage data.

AltraHD integrates seamlessly into the Apache Hadoop software stack and automatically compresses all files using the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), as well as all intermediate data.  AltraHD provides up to 2x the performance and 90% reduction in storage costs over native Hadoop.

“The explosion of big data is rapidly increasing the performance and storage requirements for big data platforms,” said Craig Lytle, Exar’s senior vice president for system solutions.  “The integration of AltraHD and Cloudera Enterprise 5 will maximize both the performance and storage capacity of Hadoop clusters.”

“The AltraHD and Cloudera solution enables big data operators to efficiently scale their Hadoop environments today, as well as plan for future requirements,” said Tim Stevens, vice president of corporate and business development at Cloudera.

The Cloudera Connect Partner Solution Brief for AltraHD is now available at www.exar.com/data-compression.
