Line 16: }} '''Hortonworks, Inc.''' was a data software company based in [[Santa Clara, California]] that developed and supported [[open-source software]] (primarily around [[Apache Hadoop]]) designed to manage [[big data]] and associated processing. Hortonworks software was used to build enterprise data services and applications such as [[Internet of things\|IoT]] (connected cars, for example), single view of X (such as customer, risk, patient), and advanced analytics and [[machine learning]] (such as next best action and realtime cybersecurity).
