About Altiscale (from Gartner report)

Altiscale provides a turnkey Hadoop-as-a-service (HaaS) in the cloud that seeks to eliminate the inelasticity and complexity of on-premises deployments and operational learning curves associated with do-it-yourself cloud infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Altiscale shifts the Hadoop on-premises model to the cloud with purpose built Hadoop hardware supporting Petabyte scale data, while also competing with the more manual IaaS Hadoop offerings, like Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR) and Microsoft Azure HDInsight.
