NexusOne lays over your existing Hadoop, enabling modernization for AI in weeks, not years
No rip-and-replace, 18-month re-architecture, or new data platform lock-in needed. NexusOne inherits your Spark jobs, Hive queries, and HDFS data as-is, connecting it all to a governed, AI-ready data estate.
Turn your Hadoop data into an asset, not a migration project
Your Hadoop clusters hold years of institutional knowledge, battle-tested Spark pipelines, and data that powers critical decisions. The problem was never the data—it was that every path to modernization demanded you abandon it: rewrite applications, re-platform storage, and start from scratch inside yet another proprietary boundary.
There’s a better way.
NexusOne keeps what works, fixes what doesn’t, and connects your Hadoop to a modern, governed estate that’s ready for AI—without asking you to throw anything away.
Modernize in weeks without the headache
NexusOne lays a universal control plane directly on top of your existing Hadoop environment, inheriting everything as-is and connecting it to the rest of your data estate through one unified identity, governance, and operational model. Your Hadoop data stops being an isolated blocker and becomes a governed, AI-ready citizen of the modern data estate.
Legacy Hadoop
Data copied to multiple systems, no source of truth
60–80% of engineering time on maintenance
Kerberos complexity, multi-point identity gaps
Governance bolted on individual vendor platforms
3x HDFS replication, fused compute and storage
Static clusters, no hybrid or cloud bursting
Data trapped in proprietary formats, runaway license costs
With NexusOne
Governed semantic data products with lineage, context, and quality, AI-ready from day one
Automated operations – your team redistributed to building high-priority AI and data applications
OpenID Connect replaces Kerberos for one universal identity model across the entire estate
One governance envelope with unified policies, lineage, and compliance spanning Hadoop and every other system
Decoupled compute and storage on S3-compatible object stores to scale independently and go serverless
Kubernetes-native—deploy on-prem, any cloud, or hybrid with the same architecture everywhere
100% open formats (Iceberg, Parquet, Arrow). Zero lock-in - no proprietary NexusOne data formats
AI/ML automations built for any Hadoop cluster, no matter how complicated
Purpose-built utilities engineered by architects who’ve spent years inside the most complex Hadoop estates in financial services, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

A Top 5 US bank replaces legacy Hadoop with NexusOne for AI modernization
Running three separate legacy Hadoop vendors simultaneously, this leading financial institution couldn’t achieve multi-tenancy, modern security, or the container-native architecture their AI strategy demanded. Every vendor offered an “upgrade” requiring 12+ months and delivering more lock-in. They switched to NexusOne and modernized 30 AI applications in five weeks.
The Result
A unified, governed data estate with one identity model across hybrid cloud. Production AI workloads on modernized infrastructure. Ready to deliver cutting-edge AI use cases that drive customer experience and revenue.
