In the first part of this series , I outlined the prerequisites for a modern Enterprise Data Platform to enable complex data product strategies that address the needs of multiple target segments and deliver strong profit margins as the data product portfolio expands in scope and complexity: With this article, I will dive into the specific capabilities of the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) that has helped organizations to meet the aforementioned prerequisite capabilities and fulfill a successful data prod

Over the last year, perhaps unsurprisingly, increasing numbers of companies have made the jump to the cloud. It’s become a necessary move for so many businesses. But, as I discussed with Joe DosSantos on the latest episode of Data Brilliant – the rewards are abundant, but the journey is not always straight forward.

In the most recent season of BigQuery Spotlight, we discussed key concepts like the BigQuery Resource hierarchy, query processing, and the reservation model. This blog focuses on extending those concepts to operationalize workload management for various scenarios.

So far in this series, we’ve been focused on generic concepts and console-based workflows. However, when you’re working with huge amounts of data or surfacing information to lots of different stakeholders, leveraging BigQuery programmatically becomes essential. In today’s post, we’re going to take a tour of BigQuery’s API landscape - so you can better understand what each API does and what types of workflows you can automate with it.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, it is that speed and intelligence are of the essence when it comes to making business decisions. Organizations must find ways of keeping ahead of competitors and disruptions by continually leveraging data to make smart decisions. The problem? Data may be everywhere, but it’s not always available in a form that businesses can use to generate analytics in real time.

As enterprises seek to accelerate the process of getting insights from their data, they face numerous sources of friction. Data sprawl across silos, diverse formats, the explosion of data volumes, and the fact that data is spread across many data centers and clouds and processed by many disparate tools, all act to slow the progress.

While the AI and automation capabilities of augmented analytics dominate today’s business intelligence (BI) conversations, data storytelling is fast becoming a hot topic - and together, they’re set to re-shape the future of BI.

In digital transformation projects, it’s easy to imagine the benefits of cloud, hybrid, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) models. The hard part is to turn aspiration into reality by creating an organization that is truly data-driven.

The manufacturing industry, like any other industry, is not immune to data challenges. Sourcing data, wrangling it and ensuring it’s being used in a governed, standardized way are not uncommon problems. Particularly in manufacturing, issues surface with inventory management, within the supply chain and with logistics.

When we announced the GA of Cloudera Data Engineering back in September of last year, a key vision we had was to simplify the automation of data transformation pipelines at scale. By leveraging Spark on Kubernetes as the foundation along with a first class job management API many of our customers have been able to quickly deploy, monitor and manage the life cycle of their spark jobs with ease. In addition, we allowed users to automate their jobs based on a time-based schedule.
