Cloudera: Partners in ‘Unique Position’ to Help Enterprises Handle Data Challenges with New Platform

… the aforementioned partner types as they sell CDP?

JT: We provide the following:

• Updates to our technology certification program to support CDP, with all deployment models (public cloud, private cloud, on-premises).
• New resources and training to support partners as they build on the CDP. These include training, reference architectures, sample code and best practices.
• A global enablement roadshow and webinar series designed to provide overviews as well as hands-on experiential training on the product

CF: What benefits does Cloudera expect the enterprise market to reap by adopting this new platform? A real-world example or two would be helpful.

JT: As a consumer, you expect your phone company to notify you when you are about to be charged extra for data, roaming, minutes, etc. Imagine flying from the U.S. to the UK and forgetting to turn off roaming. That would result in a huge bill. Think about what it requires of the phone company to be able to send you a warning message about data use.

In the simplest terms, it requires real-time data ingestion, some predictive analytics (are you using more data than you normally would?) and toggling between the security and governance required for data in the U.S. and what’s required in the U.K. (GDPR).

For many companies, this has meant integrating various solutions and then making sure each platform has the right governance and security policies in place. This is why we say that “with the Cloudera Data Platform, IT can embrace hybrid data architectures and set up cloud data lakes with enterprise-grade security and governance in hours instead of days or weeks.”
