In Pictures: How 7 companies bring power to Hadoop Big Data applications
Intel and Cloudera joined forces just a year ago to accelerate enterprise Hadoop adoption. Here’s how seven companies have taken advantage of new technology to drive Big Data.
Cloudera has laid out its plans for a new combined data platform since merging with fellow open source big data vendor Hortonworks.
The newly merged Cloudera and Hortonworks will operate under the Cloudera brand, and is moving customers to a new, unified Cloudera Data Platform.
According to Mike Olson, the merger will not "fundamentally" change how he thinks about the industry and where it is headed.
Because of my long-standing association with the Apache Software Foundation, I’m often asked the question, “What’s next for open source technology?” My typical response is variations of “I don’t know” to “the possibilities are endless.”
Cloudera, which provides a distribution of Apache Hadoop and associated services, says it is doubling business annually on the back of growth in the use of Hadoop to analyse the massive volumes of data being generated by connected ‘things’ of all kinds.
Intel's US$740 million investment in software company Cloudera will help sell more x86 chips in Hadoop installations, but it could also be a defensive move to maintain its server lead from the emerging threat posed by 64-bit ARM servers.
