Boulder, CO (PRWEB) November 10, 2014

SlamData, Inc., commercial developer of the SlamData open source project, announced the General Availability of their MongoDB BI/analytics solution.

Installers for the release are available from the SlamData website, or the project can be accessed on GitHub and built from source code. The project is licensed under the AGPL V3 license.

SlamData allows for unrestricted ad hoc queries on data stored in MongoDB. Unlike existing solutions, there is no need to relocate the data or write complicated code. SlamData is the only MongoDB analytics solution to offer 100% in database execution and does not stream data or require extensive data mapping or replication.

SlamSQL, the SQL dialect supported by SlamData, allows anyone to write standard SQL queries against data stored in MongoDB, even if that data is heavily nested or has non-uniform structure. SlamData includes a high-level graphical front-end that makes it simple to build and share reports that pull data from MongoDB.

According to SlamData CEO Jeff Carr, “SlamData is simpler to use and more powerful than any current MongoDB analytic solution. As a result we are seeing significant growth in our user base. Other solutions are limited in flexibility or takes days to set up and maintain.”

Continued Carr, “With SlamData you can literally be up and running queries in minutes. And unlike solutions that rely on streaming or other methods to move data, SlamData executes 100% in database and as a result supports very large amounts of data.”

SlamData tackles this issue directly using advanced mathematical extensions to relational algebra. SlamData’s approach allows full support for SQL queries executing directly on a MongoDB database (or replica set), and also the ability to support much more advanced queries than are possible in ANSI SQL.

The open source project already has hundreds of users. “Simple ad hoc analytics is an increasing issue for data-driven companies including Patheer, says Dennis Harris, Co-founder of Patheer, a company building on MongoDB. Continues Harris, “We have been searching for a solution that will allow us to analyze semi/un-structured data without complex MapReduce and other complicated ETL processes. SlamData has been a breath of fresh air as it allows us to analyze our semi/un structured data by just using simple SQL syntax and executes 100% in MongoDB. Other solutions we tried forced us to relocate our data to new data stores or cloud services which slowed us down and added complexity.”

The company’s patent-pending technology, invented by SlamData CTO John A. De Goes, is based on a formal generalization of 40-year-old relational algebra called MRA (“Murray”). De Goes is a well-known big data expert and founder of a previous TechStars big data startup.

MRA natively supports analytics on multi-structured data (anything from flat, homogeneous data, to multidimensional, heterogeneous data). Unlike all legacy RDBMS technology, there’s no need for ETL or transforming data to first-normal form, and MRA supports everything from simple sums and counts to statistical analysis.

About SlamData:

SlamData is the commercial entity supporting the SlamData open source project. The goal of the SlamData project is to make data stored in NoSQL databases accessible to a broader audience of users, without requiring extensive data replication or preparation as is the norm today. You can support the project by downloading here, or cloning or starring on Github here.

RJMetrics solves the core analytical challenge of today’s high-growth online business: data is scattered across dozens of platforms, making it difficult to manage and analyze effectively. This data typically lives in silos like backend databases, marketing platforms, CRM systems, and shopping carts. RJMetrics consolidates and distills this data into a cloud-based data warehouse and provides an intuitive user interface for exploring and acting on the results.

Prior to RJMetrics, only the most advanced companies with large teams of data engineers and analysts had access to the insights they needed to fuel their growth.

Because the platform handles every piece of the data pipeline, it is able to deliver value 10-100x faster and at a fraction of the cost of traditional enterprise solutions.

“Every year, our customers are becoming more and more sophisticated in their use of data, and we believe that this is just the beginning,” said Robert J. Moore, CEO and Co-Founder of RJMetrics. “This market is huge, it’s growing fast, and the use of RJMetrics is becoming a key to achieving competitive growth. We are here to build a category-defining product.”

“We partnered with RJMetrics to analyze data on key metrics like churn rates and LTV/CAC ratio. RJMetrics will continue to play an integral role in our identifying new growth opportunities and continuing to be proactive about ensuring customer satisfaction,” said Tristan Walker, CEO and Founder of Walker & Company.

RJMetrics’ 300+ customers are primarily ecommerce, software-as-a-service, and mobile businesses. The company estimates that there are at least 110,000 such companies with more than $ 1mm in annual revenue doing business today.

“The proliferation of cloud-based software has created a complex landscape of new and valuable data for online businesses,” said Eric Carlborg, Partner at August Capital who will be joining the RJMetrics board. “RJMetrics empowers these businesses to consolidate and analyze this data in shorter cycles with less technical overhead. We’re thrilled to partner with the RJMetrics team and fund the next stage of their growth.”

Data center operations company, OnRamp Access, provides hybrid hosting solutions which combine managed hosting, colocation and the cloud to facilitate the deployment of a secure, scalable and reliable infrastructure designed specifically to the needs of each customer. Going far beyond the basic necessities of providing a secure physical environment to house its customers servers, OnRamps hybrid services solve the problems customers face in needing to quickly adapt their data center strategy to cater to unexpected growth. Having the ability to mix and match services ensures OnRamp customers are able to scale operations without incurring the costs of acquiring additional equipment or man power.

While most other data centers solely offer colocation or managed hosting, OnRamp is unique in that it offers both data center services. This enables customers to add OnRamp managed hosting services to their colocation environment or vice versa. When virtualization is included, OnRamp can provide private cloud solutions that allow customers to quickly scale their IT footprint on-demand when additional resources are needed to accommodate for growth or development. This combination, or hybridization, of services facilitates the deployment of a secure, scalable and reliable infrastructure designed to accommodate the real world demands for growth and scalability. OnRamps suite of hybrid hosting services bridge the gap between traditional colocation and the cloud. The companys goal is to provide solutions to help customers accomplish their data center mission, whatever it may be. This means OnRamp can deliver services that exceed the rudimentary requirements of providing adequate bandwidth, power and a secure environment to delivering services all the way through the application layer. As an HP, Microsoft, Dell, Cisco, VmWare, Citrix and Red Hat certified partner, OnRamps engineers have technical experience and capabilities at each and every layer of data center operations. While most providers stop at the network layer, OnRamps team of engineers has the deep experience and capabilities to support customers in all aspects of their data center operations.

One OnRamp customer that truly understands the benefits of a hybrid hosting solution combined both private cloud and colocation services to meet the challenges associated with the rapid growth of their company. ExamSoft, a provider of computer based testing (CBT) solutions for the academic setting, had outgrown its production environment and, with the addition of a new Mac product to the companys suite of services, required a more flexible hosted solution. The integration of a dedicated managed hosting environment into their collocated equipment allowed ExamSoft to integrate applications to match the right workload with the right platform. Working closely with OnRamps technical staff and onsite engineers, ExamSoft was able to implement a customized solution enabling an increase in availability, speed and security for their expanding customer base.

Hybrid solutions from OnRamp address the move companies are making to accomplish scalability, flexibility, reliability and continuity goals, said Lucas Braun, OnRamp CEO. When we talk to managers across industries, we consistently hear how important their IT systems have become in every facet of their business. When these systems arent available or secured properly, their business grounds to a halt, and that costs them money and customers.

About OnRamp

OnRamp was founded in 1994 in Austin, Texas. As one of Texas first Internet operations companies, OnRamps history is rooted in providing reliable and secure connectivity that enables distributed computing. Today, OnRamp is a data center operations company that delivers colocation, managed hosting, cloud and disaster recovery services backed by Full7Layer Support.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) November 08, 2012

KnockTV, LLC today announced the co-production of a new groundbreaking Christian reality television series following five women who tell their stories about having abortions in their past, and take a healing journey together. It was announced jointly by KnockTVs President and CEO, Geoffrey Rogers, and Emmy Award-winning Producer and Owner of Tentmakers Entertainment, Cecil Stokes, whose latest project was the feature film October Baby.

The 10-episode series, titled SURRENDER THE SECRET, lives up to its name, as these five women surrender their deepest, darkest secrets, and admit to aborting a past pregnancy. Each episode is unique because of the different exercises they complete in a bible study written specifically for women who have had an abortion. The women form a tight bond and embrace each other as they go on this journey together. They share their abortion stories, work through anger, receive forgiveness, and allow Gods love to set them free from the bondages of their past decisions.

It is not too often that a new television series is created which breaks new ground, and has the ability to move the landscape of culture. SURRENDER THE SECRET is recognized as potentially having this level of impact. The power of this first-of-a-kind Christian reality TV series will be deeply felt by viewers of all kinds. Regardless of whether or not the viewer has had an abortion in their past, the emotional connection to be made with the five women on this journey will be undeniable.

Production is now completed, with the episodes being finalized over the next several months. The series will premiere on KnockTV on January 22, 2013, the 40th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, the landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court which legalized abortion in 1973. KnockTV is an emerging leader in a new category of Christian television. This new Internet television network will make SURRENDER THE SECRET available on computers, mobile and handheld devices, on-demand (24 hours a day – 7 days a week) once an episode is released on the networks website (http://www.KnockTV.com/SurrenderTheSecret). Given the sensitivity of the shows content, this type of availability will be tremendous for those who may want to watch in private and on their own time.

Advanced screenings and reviews are available to the media and organizations wishing to engage in the shows grassroots efforts by contacting KnockTVs Geoffrey Rogers through the contact information below.

Stokes said: Following the success of the feature film October Baby, my eyes were opened to the multitude of women around the country who had buried the secret of abortion deep inside. Audiences flocked to us wanting to share their stories, many for the first time. These women needed a voice and SURRENDER THE SECRET gives them that voice.

Rogers said: With 43% of women of childbearing age in the U.S. having had an abortion, SURRENDER THE SECRET will be a show of great interest. For the first time, women who have had an abortion and thought it was the right choice at that time, express the long-term effects of their decision and how it hurt them.

Stokes continued: I am proud of every project I have ever worked on, but none of them have the power of SURRENDER THE SECRET. This is a show about truth, deception, identity and forgiveness. As the anniversary of Roe V Wade approaches, we are turning our focus to the women who made a decision that left them forever changed, and are now seeking healing from the one true source of life. It is with no hesitation that I call this series GROUNDBREAKING.

Rogers continued: Division over the abortion debate in the U.S. continues, but rarely is the voice heard from the tens of millions of women who have had an abortion. The shame surrounding abortion causes so many women to protect their identity and deny their actions, leaving the painful effects of abortion hidden from most of society. SURRENDER THE SECRET speaks from experience, while exposing the untold truths about having an abortion, and reveals the consequences of how it affects those who have them. While the women in this series may be the first to share their secrets in this way, there are untold millions of women throughout this country and the world who will relate to them, and are in need of the hope that that this show will offer.
