TOKYO, April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Cloudera, Inc., (NYSE: CLDR), the enterprise data
cloud company, today announced that LINE Corporation has chosen
Cloudera to support the growth of LINE's AI technology-based
business and the Data Science and Engineering Center
(DSEC)1. To accelerate its data-driven journey while
keeping user data secure, the partnership will enable LINE to
manage its data lifecycle with a platform that is built on open
source technologies and will future proof its journey to the
cloud.
LINE aims to bring information, services, and people closer
together. With its messaging app as the cornerstone, LINE's
business encompasses mobile-first services—including communication,
content, and entertainment— advertising, as well as strategic
businesses in Fintech, AI, and other domains. Line's DSEC needs to
handle a large volume and variety of data and deliver insights to
multiple lines of business to provide services for 186 million
monthly active users around the world.
"In order to be at the forefront of innovation, it is crucial
for us to be able to manage, harness, and secure big data while
democratizing it," said Cheolho
Choi, Engineering Director of Data Platform and Fellow of
Data Engineering, LINE Corporation. "Given Cloudera's expertise in
architecting, designing, and securing mission-critical big data
platforms, we are confident that they can improve on the robust
LINE data platform to speed time to value, reinforce our data
security, and reduce operational costs."
With Cloudera's Data Platform's enterprise-grade centralized
security and governance capabilities, DSEC expects that it will be
able to manage and govern data more effectively and securely by
allowing operators to set and maintain metadata parameters for
security, regulatory compliance and data analytics. By unifying the
data warehouses from LINE's various services, LINE envisions that
its data platform will be enhanced and users across the
organization will be provided with governed, self-service analytics
without compromising the safety of their data. This is also aligned
with LINE's restructuring of its organization to promote data use
across businesses and departments, utilizing its massive database
to its fullest extent to improve usability of its existing services
as well as create new AI-powered services and functionality.
"Consumers today expect businesses to offer personalized
services and innovate quickly while keeping their data safe,"
said Mark Micallef, Vice President of Asia Pacific and Japan, Cloudera. "We are pleased to help LINE
address those demands by empowering its users across the
organization to transform its massive and complex data into clear
and actionable insights using an integrated data platform that is
scalable and delivers multi-function analytics with consistent
security and governance."
To ensure the success of LINE's data-driven journey from initial
phases of architecture through to scale-out operations, Cloudera
will provide ongoing technical domain expertise and guidance via
its team of global professional services consultants. The
collaboration will help LINE consolidate its big data
infrastructure while minimizing downtime, optimizing its big data
environment to ensure that server resources are efficiently used by
machine learning technologies and existing analysis workloads that
power LINE's services, and ensuring consistent and high level of
data protection.
In addition, Cloudera's customized training will equip DSEC's
engineers with the skills to manage and secure big data
effectively. By having such skilled talents, LINE will be in a
better position to promote research and development of the AI
technology powering its business.
