Cloudera Unveils True Hybrid Cloud Vision

Cloudera, provider of data management and analytics solutions, has introduced its new true hybrid cloud platform. Designed to address the growing complexities of modern data environments, this platform aims to help businesses harness the full potential of their data, regardless of where it resides.

At its annual data and AI conference, EVOLVE2, Cloudera highlighted its progress toward realizing a true hybrid cloud environment. As the industry's first and only hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, Cloudera showcased new technologies and investments aimed at empowering enterprises to harness data and AI across any environment. This strategy aims to help organizations leverage their entire data footprint, ultimately driving competitive advantage.

Why True Hybrid?

In today's complex data landscape, a simple hybrid cloud infrastructure isn't enough. Businesses need a holistic approach that seamlessly integrates on-premises and cloud-based data and analytics assets. Cloudera's true hybrid solution offers just that.

True hybrid is essential for maximizing data potential. Traditional hybrid approaches aren't enough. Businesses need to manage data and analytics assets holistically across environments.

"Our hybrid approach is breaking down data silos and unlocking the potential of data, no matter where it resides," said Mayank Baid, Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Cloudera. "Our unified platform combines data lakes' flexibility with data warehouses' performance, providing a powerful solution for enterprises to drive innovation and maintain compliance. This is about more than just adopting technology—it's fostering a data-driven culture to sustain competitive differentiation in fast-evolving markets like India."

Cloudera's platform offers several key features for true hybrid success:

• • Unified platform: Single codebase for consistent experience across environments.
  • Hybrid control plane: Single point of management and governance.
  • Open Data Lakehouse: Combines data lake flexibility with data warehouse performance.
  • Unified security and governance: Ensures compliance across hybrid deployments.
  • Federated data access: Seamless movement of users, data, and analytics.
  • Graviton (ARM) support: Flexibility and portability of workloads.

Industry analyst Andrew Brust of Blue Badge Insights emphasized that true hybrid cloud goes beyond deploying in multiple infrastructures. It requires seamless data, analytics, and AI movement across environments to deliver optimal insights and value. Cloudera, he noted, is the only vendor delivering on this vision.

Dipto Chakravarty, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera, echoed this sentiment, stressing the importance of scalable, flexible data architecture in an increasingly hybrid world. "Change is here, and hybrid is now. Cloudera is committed to guiding enterprises on their true hybrid journeys."
