Users today are asking ever more from their data warehouse. This is resulting in advancements of what is provided by the technology, and a resulting shift in the art of the possible. As an example of this, in this post we look at Real Time Data Warehousing (RTDW), which is a category of use cases customers are building on Cloudera and which is becoming more and more common amongst our customers.
How Hitachi Vantara’s global IT team is enabling the “new normal” and delivering at speeds previously thought impossible.
One of the really big trends that we're seeing in the analytics space, is the move towards talking about the analytics experience. Analytics experience is about supporting or triggering decisions and transactions.

The difference sounds subtle, but it's really quite profound.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has not halted despite the global pandemic. If anything, COVID-19 has only accelerated the adoption of Industry 4.0, leading businesses across industries to use Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Big Data in a more sophisticated manner.
As we covered in part 1 of this blog series, Snowflake’s platform is architecturally different from almost every traditional database system and cloud data warehouse. Snowflake has completely separate compute and storage, and both tiers of the platform are near instantly elastic.

With the massive explosion of data across the enterprise — both structured and unstructured from existing sources and new innovations such as streaming and IoT — businesses have needed to find creative ways of managing their increasingly complex data lifecycle to speed time to insight.
As a product feature for your app, embedded analytics is undoubtedly a valuable tool. But historically, many product managers and software developers have approached it as a standalone capability. This has led to dashboards and reporting modules added as an afterthought, rather than as a founding strategic component of the core application.
Cloudera services logs offer a breadth of information to assist in cluster maintenance; from assisting in security checks, auditing tasks, and validation for performance tuning and testing tasks – to name a few. However, log records generated by these services do not hold the same value for every organisation.
The customer has never been more right. Across industries, customers have become conditioned to demand not only near-instant responses to their needs but that their needs be anticipated in advance. Financial institutions are not given a pass, despite a competitive landscape flooded with regulation and privacy considerations. The customer still has expectations for a personalized, timely, and relevant experience.
The push to embrace cloud-based technologies has undoubtedly transformed IT infrastructures at every level of government. Federal, state, and local agencies have made significant strides in modernizing how data is collected, stored, and analyzed, all in service of their mission and in fulfillment of strategic IT mandates.
