Cloud has become an appealing environment to support many common Hadoop workloads. Cloudera was the first Hadoop vendor to help customers embrace these trends, and has since developed new technologies through Cloudera Director to support hybrid operations, new optimisations in the platform to seamlessly integrate with object stores, and interoperability with the major cloud environments - Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure - for a reliable experience regardless of environment.
“Across all industries and use cases, our customers are interested in running Hadoop in cloud environments, benefiting from the fast resourcing and flexibility it provides,” said Charles Zedlewski, VP of Products at Cloudera. “To further support our customers, Cloudera Director 2.0 makes it easier and more cost-effective for customers to tap into these benefits, while reliably managing cloud deployments both at scale and in production.”
Cloudera Director 2.0 simplifies the experience of running common Hadoop workloads - extract-transform-load (ETL) and modelling, business Intelligence and analytics, and application Delivery - in the cloud, resulting in cost savings, easier management at scale, and enterprise functionality. New features focus on:
● Lower operating costs for the infrastructure that support ETL or other transient workloads
● Quick scalability for business intelligence/analytics workloads to support low-latency, high-concurrency access
● Enterprise capabilities for long-running application delivery workloads
Customisable templates and configurations to easily manage and repeat deployments. Cloudera provides an aggregated view of all clusters, across all environments, down to the instance-level for metadata filtering, transparent monitoring, and improved troubleshooting.
“Recent ESG research shows that the number one spending priority amongst those responsible for their companies' strategic big data investments is leveraging cloud-based analytics offerings,” said Nik Rouda, Senior Analyst at ESG. “Cloudera Director 2.0 is very well aligned to this imperative, enabling businesses to manage Hadoop deployments across both cloud and on-premises environments, providing a robust and mature solution.”
The latest release of Cloudera Director 2.0 works across major cloud platforms, including AWS and GCP, and includes the Open Cloud Connector to easily integrate with other preferred public or private clouds. Users looking to deploy on Microsoft Azure can provision Cloudera Enterprise via the Azure Marketplace.
Cloudera is working closely with its vast partner network of more than 2,000 companies to ensure the same optimised and certified tools and experience, no matter the deployment environment. Data integration solutions from software partners such as Informatica and Pentaho and business intelligence tools from Qlik and Zoomdata are often deployed in on-premise and cloud environments and integrated with Cloudera Enterprise.
“Informatica big data management solutions strive to provide the simplest and fastest big data integration capabilities combined with in-depth visibility into data lineage inside Hadoop. This helps customers comply with external and internal requirements,” said Amit Walia, EVP and Chief Product Officer, Informatica. “Informatica is committed to our strong partnership with Cloudera to further simplify and automate the deployment of Informatica’s big data management solutions on top of Cloudera Enterprise in cloud, on-premise, and in hybrid architectures so customers can quickly and flexibly make their big data ready for business.”
“Pentaho shares Cloudera’s vision of delivering a consistent data management experience for customers regardless of where they choose to run their data-driven apps,” said Donna Prlich, SVP of Product Marketing and Solutions at Pentaho, a Hitachi Data Systems Company. “Whether in the cloud, on-premise or in a hybrid environment, Pentaho and Cloudera make it easier for customers to gain valuable insights from their data, faster.”
“IT professionals and business leaders are looking to derive tangible value from their big data implementations, by providing an analytics layer that can both access data and make it relevant and accessible to users across their organisation. With Hadoop, the reach of the technology is expanding rapidly, and we are seeing many more Qlik customers select cloud environments as their infrastructure of choice for critical big data workloads,” said Mike Foster, VP of Strategic Partners at Qlik. “Cloudera Director 2.0 brings significant performance advances to accessing data in Hadoop, which combined with Qlik’s associative experience, will enable our customers to continue discovering business value from their data, regardless of the variety or volume.”
Cloudera's customers include Adecco*.
