This will provide a useful complement to Cloudscale’s service (cloudscale.com) which offers realtime and batch big data analytics in the cloud from right inside Excel. Cloudcel, our patented Excel-driven cloud architecture can be used with S3, Hadoop HDFS, MapR and Lustre backends. The Lustre version is the world’s fastest big data solution. Unlike the other spreadsheet big data solutions, Cloudcel is the only one that offers drag-and-drop big data app development for business users. No coding.
