Cloudera aims to fulfill its vision of an enterprise data cloud

Big data company Cloudera Inc. today launched a new version of its Cloudera Data Platform for private cloud users.

The company said CDP Private Cloud is designed for hybrid cloud users, enabling enterprises to connect their on-premises environments with various public clouds while ensuring their data is consistent and secure. It’s positioned as a one-stop-shop cloud service for organizations that want to perform analytics across hybrid and multicloud environments with enterprise-grade security and governance.

The platform combines a cloud-native data warehouse, machine learning service and data hub, each running as instances within the self-contained application operating environments called containers. Queries are managed by Apache Hive or Apache Impala, the latter of which was developed by Cloudera.

CDP Private Cloud is built on Red Hat Inc.’s OpenShift platform, and Cloudera said it completes the company’s vision of an “enterprise data cloud” built atop of a hybrid architecture that separates compute and storage resources. The idea is to enable companies to collect, enrich, report, serve and model enterprise data for any business use case in any cloud.

With CDP Private Cloud, enterprises will be able to delivery data analytics and machine learning services up to 10 times faster than traditional data management services, the company said. The platform also enables companies to scale up those services as demand grows, and optimize and share compute infrastructure across the data lifecycle to improve efficiencies and reduce costs. Meanwhile, governance and security policies can be enforced consistently across all clouds and on-premises information technology environments.

Constellation Research Inc. analyst Holger Mueller told SiliconANGLE that Cloudera’s private cloud platform was an important release as enterprises are always on the lookout for next-generation compute platforms that will enable them to move workloads between the public cloud and on-premises environments.

“Cloudera is joining the parade with its enterprise data cloud, courtesy of IBM and Red Hat’s OpenShift platform that uses Kubernetes to deploy workloads, in this case on-premises,” Mueller said. “This is the first step for all vendors providing this service, the next is usually around common administration and management. But the real prize for Cloudera is data migration and replication. The big question remains whether or not federated queries will be supported across the Cloudera deployment continuum.”

“The launch today of CDP Private Cloud is the culmination of the vision for an enterprise data cloud that allows businesses to navigate complex data processes across multiple clouds, manage data governance, and enable multifunction analytics, regardless of where the data resides,” said Cloudera Chief Marketing Officer Mick Hollison.

Cloudera said CDP Private Cloud is available now as a tech preview for select customers, ahead of general availability that’s expected later this summer.
