Create Powerful Analytics Solutions
WhereOS is a new cloud based operating system for distributed, data driven applications, that’s built on top of Apache Spark. WhereOS makes it easier to build, host, distribute and share applications built using (big) data.
WhereOS lives in the cloud, which means no local data center installations are required – with WhereOS you just focus on working with your data and delivering insightful applications on top of it.
WhereOS provides all the required tools to create analytics apps out-of-the-box: ingesting data, cleaning & transforming the data, creating models out of the data, exposing the data and models through APIs, and developing visualizations and apps on top of the APIs.
Deploy Your First Application in 15 Minutes
It only takes 15 minutes to get started with WhereOS. In 15 minutes you have your first application installed and up and running, and ready to do further development.
SQL, R and Java Programming Languages
WhereOS can be programmed through SQL programming language including built-in functions for ETL (extract, transform, load) operations, statistical analysis, geographical and spatial analysis, data visualization etc. Programs written in WhereOS applications are always executed as distributed processes, without developers explicitly design their applications for parallel processing and scalability.
WhereOS uses Apache Spark as the execution engine for the applications. WhereOS can be extended through two types of drivers: function and data asset drivers. Function drivers can introduce any new Hive/SparkSQL functions, to implement new features for the SQL language. The function drivers can be developed with R or Java. Data asset drivers provide new ways of integrating data formats and/or data transmission protocols into the system and are written with Java.
Speed Up Development with WhereOS Store
Our mission is to speed up development of analytics solutions and data driven applications – make developers and data scientists superstars. WhereOS Store is a key element to this: It is a place where developers can share applications, data and drivers with each other. It’s a place where you can find software and components, so that you don’t need to start new projects from scratch, but you pick and choose the right elements that hopefully get 90% done already for your new project.
Machine Learning, AI, Visualizations, Analytics, Geospacial Applications …
You might ask ‘What can I do with WhereOS?’ You can do a lot. Actually, I can’t imagine a thing that couldn’t be done 🙂 Take a look at some sample apps in apps.whereos.com. WhereOS provides to foundation for data intake, parallel computing, turning your data into models, exposing the models through APIs and developing apps on top of the APIs. What you actually decide to implement is up to you, only the sky is the limit. When you use WhereOS, you don’t need to think about data formats, protocols, parallelization, hosting, scheduling, dependencies, APIs – you just work on your data using WhereOS and all of the above mentioned are provided by the platform out-of-the box.
DataOps
WhereOS is the operating system for future hyperconnected world and data operations. It enables business to gather data, turn it into valuable insights and deliver to right channels at the right time.
Businesses are getting more and more connected to online, cloud based information systems as a part of their business processes. Customers are accessing companies’ online services 24/7 through different interfaces: sensors, products and services. Customers are generating more and more information about their behavior – location, movement, social interactions, purchases and so forth – all tied to geographical locations. Businesses, on the other hand, are still running on legacy systems, where data is collected in different silos, and just-in-time delivery of data to the right interfaces becomes the key to success for future enterprises.
With WhereOS it’s easy to collect data from any file formats, from any APIs and through any protocols, transform it into value adding data objects and models, and delivering it to the right channels (customer products, management systems such as ERP and CRM, developer APIs, internal reports, customer reports, consumer applications and so forth) at the right time.
Superstar Developers
Our goal is to make developers, designers and data scientists superstars: help them do create and host applications that are based on data – whether the applications are artificial intelligence, machine learning, visualisation, analytics, geographical data or other applications. And all of this should happen in minutes, days or weeks, rather than in months or years.
How do I get started?
Read the articles in the Getting Started category in WhereOS Community. It takes only 15 minutes to register and start your first WhereOS installation and run the “Hello World” application on it.
