Hewlett Packard Enterprise said it has acquired the assets of MapR, including its technology, intellectual property and tools for analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning. HPE said it will support existing MapR deployments as well as ongoing renewals. HPE also said it will continue to support MapR’s partner ecosystem.
