THE GRIDMINE STORY

We have been implementing Big Data Projects since 2010. In 2014 we realised that the deployment and management systems we used for our projects would be in-valuable to any Big Data Project.

We then set out to further refine our platform with a simple goal - 15 minutes to deploy a big data analytics hub.

In the meanwhile we have built a product through 2 major releases and continue to use it in the Big Data Projects that we work on alongside GridMine.

As they say - We Eat Our Own Dog Food.
