PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloudera,
Inc. (NYSE: CLDR), the enterprise data cloud company,
today announced that it was named a Leader by Forrester Research,
Inc. in its report titled The Forrester Wave™: Cloud Hadoop and
Spark (HARK) Platforms, Q1 2019. These platforms are defined by
Forrester as distributed computing software and services that are
rooted in open source Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark to ingest,
store, process, manage and analyze data to generate insights that
drive business outcomes.
According to Forrester, the Leaders identified in the report
"support a broader set of use cases, enhanced automation and good
scalability and performance." Both Cloudera's platform and
Hortonworks' platform were named among the Leaders in the report.
Cloudera believes the positive recognition from Forrester, an
independent third party, reinforces the rationale for the merger
between Cloudera and Hortonworks, which combined has greater scale
and resources to extend its market leadership and accelerate
innovation for customers.
The full report can be downloaded on the Cloudera
website here.
Cloudera is combining the best technology and product features
from both companies and will produce the industry's first
enterprise data cloud for customers. Cloudera's enterprise data
cloud will uniquely support hybrid and multi-cloud deployments,
providing enterprises the flexibility to run the most demanding
workloads from the Edge to AI, with common security, governance and
metadata powered by its unique SDX technology. Cloud-native and
built for all major public cloud infrastructure – AWS, Azure,
Google, IBM and Oracle – the unified platform embodies Cloudera's
"cloud everywhere" vision with a public cloud-like experience at
the Edge, in private cloud, public cloud, multi-cloud and
on-premises.
According to Forrester, "Cloudera's approach to innovation has
been core to meeting customer demands and differentiating its
solution...Enterprises have successfully deployed a wide range of
use cases with Cloudera, including fraud detection, real-time
analytics, IoT analytics, and customer 360. Customers like
Cloudera's HARK platform performance, technical support, road map,
continuous innovation, and partner ecosystem."
With respect to the Hortonworks offering, Forrester noted,
"Today, organizations are supporting new and emerging business use
cases with Hortonworks, such as the IoT, customer 360, advanced
analytics, and real-time insights. The vendor provides a
cost-effective, nimble, and scalable architecture to implement
HARK, whether on-premises, multi-cloud, or hybrid cloud. Customers
like its flexible open source platform, multi-cloud support, data
ingestion capabilities, performance and scale, and broad ecosystem
of partners and tooling."
Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub, Cloudera Altus and Cloudera Data
Science Workbench were evaluated for the report and received scores
of five out of five in the Performance, Management, Security and
Data Governance criteria.
Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) and Hortonworks
DataPlane were also evaluated and received scores of five
out of five in the Scalability, Performance, Data Management,
Security, Market Awareness and Packaging criteria (including
Configuration Options and Cloud Deployment Options).
Together, having completed a corporate merger in January 2019, Cloudera is in an even stronger
position to lead the enterprise data cloud market when it combines
the best of both of its current platforms into its next-generation
cloud data platform, called the Cloudera Data Platform.
"Customers require an open source data platform running in any
cloud from the Edge to AI to truly unlock the power of any and all
data," said Arun C. Murthy, chief
product officer of Cloudera. "This is exactly what we are
delivering with the industry's first enterprise data cloud, which,
in our opinion, also aligns with Forrester's Cloud Data Analytics
and Spark Wave evaluation. We are thrilled to be named a Leader in
this Forrester Wave."
"Analytical insights are the key for us to be able to
differentiate ourselves and create more value for our customers,"
said Sven Löffler, business development executive at Deutsche
Telekom. "With Cloudera's solutions in the cloud, we were able to
establish our Telekom Data Intelligence Hub which is a trusted,
fully governed platform and ecosystem where our users are empowered
to exchange and analyze data and develop multi-function,
data-driven applications easier and more securely."
