Cloudera Certifies 100 Partner Products

Cloudera, Inc., a specialist in enterprise analytic data management powered by Apache Hadoop, announced that, through the Cloudera Connect program, more than 100 partner products have certified on its Enterprise 5, the company’s Hadoop powered platform that serves as an integral component of enterprise data hubs.

Cloudera partners showed true commitment to the company’s technology by certifying on Enterprise 5 before it was GA. Now at the center of the partner ecosystem of applications, tools, frameworks and platforms, Enterprise 5 is maximizing the opportunity for companies to gain value from all their data without limits, while working alongside existing technology and business investments.

The Cloudera Connect partner program is an ecosystem that adds new partner products, ensuring that customers always have the broadest choice of solutions that suit their business needs. The first 100+ certifications are part of a certification program; more can be expected over time and can be compared to an ‘App Store’ of partner technologies running in conjunction with a Cloudera enterprise data hub. The company plans to continue to drive additional certifications and value to its customers as the year goes on.

“We are impressed by the volume and depth of partners that have chosen to certify their products in advance of Cloudera Enterprise 5 becoming GA,” said Tim Stevens, VP, business and corporate development, Cloudera. “The Cloudera platform was built to allow customers to store any amount and kind of data and to deploy that data against an analytic infrastructure or application when, how and where needed to achieve the most economical value to their business. We are investing deeply in extending our partner ecosystem and certifying partner products on Cloudera Enterprise 5, ensuring our customers have the broadest choice of big data tools and technologies for their existing and future enterprise data hubs.“

Cloudera is changing the economics of data by constructing an integrated and centralized platform on which enterprises can store, process and analyze data in full fidelity while complementing existing storage strategies and analytic infrastructure investments. A Cloudera enterprise data hub delivers a data management platform – one place to store and work with all data, with the flexibility to run a variety of enterprise workloads, including batch processing, interactive SQL querying, enterprise search and advanced analytics, together with robust security, governance, data protection and management that enterprises require. When coupled with a company’s existing enterprise data management systems, and running in conjunction with one or more of the partner products in the Cloudera partner ecosystem, the combination provides value for customers.
