The software and hardware giant unveiled Haven at Discover in Las Vegas, claiming the platform will save businesses millions of pounds, letting them more easily create, or better use existing big data analytics applications and solutions.
The platform combines technologies from HP Autonomy, Vertica, ArcSight, and Hadoop. HP said Haven is designed to be as open as possible and already has 700 connectors for various virtualisation technologies and optimised hardwares. The firm said Haven's open architecture will ensure users are not locked in to any one vendor.
The firm has also created several of its own applications to help businesses get more out of the Haven platform. The most interesting of these is HP's Operations Analytics and Actionable Intelligence Solutions applications.
Operations Analytics is a feature designed to let businesses streamline their operations by offering information-monitoring services on a variety of IT systems. HP Actionable Intelligence Solutions is a service designed to help companies monitor and improve processes in key areas such as supply chain operations.
HP executive vice president George Kadifa said the improved analytics powers will help businesses spot vulnerabilities in their systems, making it easier for them to protect their big data reserves from cyber criminals.
"The last challenge is vulnerabilities and that's a very, very significant challenge for us. It's also a very costly challenge, our current analysis shows that cyber crime in big data is at least a $4bn cost to enterprises and frankly our belief is that figure is understated and it could be as much as 10 times bigger," he said.
"You need to be able to protect this vast lake of data that you are pooling, ensuring there are no vulnerabilities around it. How do you do that? That's where HP comes in with our Haven announcement, which is centred around creating a comprehensive and complete set of solutions. We are the only people with the right approach and portfolio to unleash the power of big data."
Haven is one of many announcements to come from HP's Discover Las Vegas event. HP also unveiled a host of new storage services and solutions as well as its new line of Elite and Pro business PCs.
