In recent years, more and more companies have begun utilizing data warehouses to improve their organization's business intelligence and make more well-informed decisions.

In their effort to reduce their technology spend, some organizations that leverage open source projects for advanced analytics often consider either building and maintaining their own runtime with the required data processing engines or retaining older, now obsolete, versions of legacy Cloudera runtimes (CDH or HDP).

The best and most desired outcome for your unique analytical application is that it delivers commercial returns, makes it is easy for your sales team to sell, and even easier for your customers to buy.
