Cloudera: Why the Enterprise Data Cloud Is Indispensable

SPONSORED CONTENTThis episode is brought to you by Cloudera.For this sponsored Cloud Wars Live conversation, I spoke with Mick Hollison, CMO of Cloudera. Mick just came back from a Cloudera customer event in New York City called Strata Data, in which they unveiled the new Cloudera Data Platform to the world. He said customers wanted it to be open-source, open APIs, open compute, and open storage.Mick quotes Peter Levine of Andreesen Horowitz, who says the early phase is dictated by convincing developers and technologists to start programming; the next phase is to get users; and the third phase is how to extract meaningful analytics and insight from the data.He goes on to say that they have a customer, Komatsu, which makes massive mining equipment costing hundreds of millions of dollars. Cloudera put sensors on the devices to ingest the data, analyze it, and then predict what was going to happen to the machines. The machines, by the way, literally sink into the earth.Cloudera recently announced that the Cloudera Data Platform is available on AWS – and coming up shortly, on Microsoft Azure. And early next year, Google Cloud Platform. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
