Zettaset Orchestrator™ v5

Enhanced Security for Hadoop Clusters

The latest version of the Zettaset Orchestrator cluster management solution addresses the known security gaps and vulnerabilities that exist in open source Hadoop. Orchestrator v5 creates a security “wrapper” around any Hadoop distribution, making it ready for enterprise consumption. Organizations can now confidently deploy a secure Hadoop in data center environments where security and compliance are business imperatives.

Solution Benefits

• Hadoop-agnostic, enterprise-grade software solution is simple to install and is able to manage any open source Hadoop distribution as well as the cluster
• Hardened to address policy, compliance, access control and risk management within the Hadoop cluster environment in the enterprise
• Policy – Simplifies the integration of Hadoop clusters into existing enterprise security policy frameworks with support for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Active Directory (AD)
• Compliance – Enables Hadoop clusters to meet compliance requirements for reporting and forensics by providing centralized configuration management, logging, and auditing
• Access Control – Significantly improves the user authentication process with Role-based access control (RBAC), and enables Kerberos to be run against all components of a big data ecosystem, not just Hadoop

Firewalls and other perimeter security solutions represent a single layer of defense that, when breached, offer no real protection for the data cluster.

Zettaset Orchestrator provides security from within the data center cluster. Even if perimeter security is breached, the cluster and sensitive data are still protected by Orchestrator's comprehensive security wrapper.
