The enterprise architecture, business process analysis, and governance, risk, and compliance solutions provider will attend the two-day conference in Northampton.

Map Reduce, a parallel programming and data execution architecture that Google has used to produce large amounts of Web data, has moved into the enterprise world through partnerships with Green Plum and Aster Data, reports Techtarget.

The Green Plum database can now be used as a parallel data processing platform without having to use the declarative model of relational SQL.

Map Reduce's move into the corporate computer world is seen as part of the trend towards Enterprise Data Cloud where an enterprise can start to build its own cloud-based infrastructure, and offer that up as a utility to their business unit.
