What is HPCC Systems?
From their introductory whitepaper:
LexisNexis Risk Solutions, an industry leader in data content, data aggregation, and information services, independently developed and implemented the HPCC Systems platform as a solution for its own data-intensive computing requirements. In a similar manner to Hadoop (the open source implementation of MapReduce), the LexisNexis approach also uses commodity clusters of hardware running the Linux operating system and includes additional system software and middleware components to provide a complete and comprehensive job execution environment and distributed query and filesystem support needed for data-intensive computing.
