Mosaic Opening View

Anaconda Mosaic is a module of the Anaconda Platform used for interactive exploration of larger-than-memory datasets. It provides these core benefits:

  1. Write once, compute anywhere. Mosaic translates the same computational code to various backends, including relational databases, NoSQL stores, Spark and more, by leveraging the power of Blaze. You can access data in multiple data stores with the same code, and you can swap backends without rewriting queries or analytic pipelines.
  2. Push computations to the data. For maximum efficiency, Mosaic will push the computations to your data backend, minimizing the costly movement of data across the network and taking full advantage of the built-in highly optimized code featured in your data backend (PostgreSQL, Oracle, MongoDB, Spark, and more).
  3. Instantly work with large flat file repositories Mosaic allows you to work with data scattered across directories of CSVs with minimal effort. You no longer have to write tedious Extract/Load/Transform (ETL) code! All you have to do is tell Mosaic how to parse the information embedded in the directory structure with simple wildcards.
  4. Collect all your data sources in one place. Mosaic saves you time that would be wasted discovering what data is available and where it is located.
  5. Visually explore your data. Mosaic provides many built-in visualizations, including scatter plots, bar charts and more, allowing you to map variables to different visual traits such as axis, color, glyph size and more. With these visualizations you can quickly make sense of your data and test simple hypotheses.
  6. Integrate seamlessly with an Enterprise environment. Mosaic provides Enterprise-ready features such as provenance, governance and orchestration.

Anaconda Mosaic 1.0 was released on April 8th, 2016, and is available to current Anaconda Enterprise subscribers.
