In our previous blog, we talked about the four paths to Cloudera Data Platform. If you haven’t read that yet, we invite you to take a moment and run through the scenarios in that blog. The four strategies will be relevant throughout the rest of this discussion. Today, we’ll discuss an example of how you might make this decision for a cluster using a “round of elimination” process based on our decision workflow.

“40% of all enterprise workloads will be deployed in CIPS [cloud infrastructure and platform services] by 2023, up from only 20% in 2020.”.As the cloud permeates every aspect of business, decision-makers must make critical choices regarding infrastructure at every turn. Their answers will ultimately determine if every part of an organization is empowered to move forward in a cohesive way to reach business outcomes.

Data transformations are the backbone of smooth-running data operations. Transformations are used in data replication between databases, data migration from cloud to on-premise, and data cleaning (aggregations, outlier removal, deduplication …) aka all the good stuff that goes into extracting insights from data. But as any data professional can attest, transformation can also be a painful bottleneck. Think scripts that run for an entire day and finish just before the next scheduled job.

Joint customers can now stay within AWS for all cloud services and minimize data movement costs.

Customers wanting to drive self-service analytics as part of creating a data-driven organization will often ask, “Can we achieve self service analytics, when our work force has low data literacy?” Or they might say they are not ready for self-service analytics, incorrectly thinking they need first to improve data literacy. But the two are inextricably linked. I liken it to teaching a child to read without giving them any books on which to build their skills.
