Forrester Research recently released the Forester Wave for Streaming Platforms, Q4 2023. We are happy to share that Cloudera ranked as a strong performer, with a top three score for current offering. This score was stronger than anyone outside of one-cloud vendors Microsoft and Google, including a stronger current offering than Confluent. Cloudera is also the strongest on-prem offering and the only fully hybrid offering to achieve a strong performer score.

Delivering transformational innovation and accurate business decisions requires harnessing the full potential of your organization’s entire data ecosystem. Ultimately, this boils down to how reliable and trustworthy the underlying data that feeds your insights and applications is. This applies to modern generative AI solutions that are particularly reliant on trusted, accurate, and context-specific data.

Replication is a crucial capability in distributed systems to address challenges related to fault tolerance, high availability, load balancing, scalability, data locality, network efficiency, and data durability. It forms a foundational element for building robust and reliable distributed architectures. It is also important to have multiple options (like normal and prefixless replication) to do the replication process, since every solution has its own advantages.

In the dynamic landscape of modern manufacturing, AI has emerged as a transformative differentiator, reshaping the industry for those seeking the competitive advantages of gained efficiency and innovation. As we navigate the fourth and fifth industrial revolution, AI technologies are catalyzing a paradigm shift in how products are designed, produced, and optimized.

In this article, we will walk you through the process of implementing fine grained access control for the data governance framework within the Cloudera platform. This will allow a data office to implement access policies over metadata management assets like tags or classifications, business glossaries, and data catalog entities, laying the foundation for comprehensive data access control.

As described in our recent blog post, an SQL AI Assistant has been integrated into Hue with the capability to leverage the power of large language models (LLMs) for a number of SQL tasks. It can help you to create, edit, optimize, fix, and succinctly summarize queries using natural language. This is a real game-changer for data analysts on all levels and will make SQL development faster, easier, and less error-prone.

Cloudera DataFlow for the Public Cloud (CDF-PC) is a complete self-service streaming data capture and movement platform based on Apache NiFi. It allows developers to interactively design data flows in a drag and drop designer, which can be deployed as continuously running, auto-scaling flow deployments or event-driven serverless functions. CDF-PC comes with a monitoring dashboard out of the box for data flow health and performance monitoring.

Imagine you’ve just started a new job working as a business analyst. You’ve been given a new burning business question that needs an immediate answer. How long would it take you to find the data you need to even begin to come up with a data-driven response? Imagine how many iterations of query writing you’d have to go through. In this scenario, you also have reports that need updating as well. Those contain some of the biggest hair-ball queries you’ve ever seen.

Cloudera is launching and expanding partnerships to create a new enterprise artificial intelligence “AI” ecosystem. Businesses increasingly recognize AI solutions as critical differentiators in competitive markets and are ready to invest heavily to streamline their operations, improve customer experiences, and boost top-line growth.

Without a doubt, 2023 has shaped up to be generative AI’s breakout year. Less than 12 months after the introduction of generative AI large language models such as ChatGPT and PaLM, image generators like Dall-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion, and code generation tools like OpenAI Codex and GitHub CoPilot, organizations across every industry, including government, are beginning to leverage generative AI regularly to increase creativity and productivity.
