• Possibilities of deployment and scaling of the corporate level using the distributed horizontally scalable architecture with high availability providing flexible scaling to the maximum scale of the environment.
• Flexibility and efficiency at the expense of an opportunity to use new modules of analytics and data sources at a stage of their development and integration. As a result the security system is improved in process of development of threats and business processes.

By means of use of the open data warehouse of Hadoop the solution RSA Security Analytics does the innovations offered in Hadoop ecosystem, available for a wide range of customers. Partnership of the companies Pivotal RSA can also offer customers the most complete of the means of analytics which are available in the market set. The solution provides visibility which much more exceeds possibilities of traditional solutions based on magazines, and at the same time does not assume tough dependence on specialists in data analysis.
