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 telco industry is ripe with application security risks—find out why. The telecommunications industry has seen its fair share of cyberattacks over the years, and these are only going to grow in frequency and sophistication. Without a robust cybersecurity strategy in place, these vulnerabilities will persist. This is why security should be an ongoing effort in any telecom organization, and vulnerabilities must be systematically addressed to ensure protection.

The infamous data science workflow with interconnected circles of data acquisition, wrangling, analysis, and reporting understates the multi-connectivity and non-linearity of these components. The same is true for machine learning and deep learning workflows. I understand the need for oversimplification is expedient in presentations and executive summaries. However, it may paint unrealistic pictures, hide the intricacies of ML development and conceal the realities of the mess.

At Cloudera Fast Forward we work to make the recently possible useful. Our goal is to take the incredible data science and machine learning research developments we see emerging from academia and large industrial labs, and bridge the gap to products and processes that are useful to practitioners working across industries.

Broadcasting is now available in this release for both dashboards and presentations. Just like reports, you can now enable scheduled delivery of these analytic content to different audiences. We have also included additional options for schedules — making it more granular for specific frequencies. For example, for fortnightly broadcasts I can now set the delivery to be on the second Monday. Or for monthly broadcasts, to have deliveries happen on the fifth day every month.

Growing up, were you ever told you can’t have it all? That you can’t eat all the snacks in one sitting? That you can’t watch the complete Back to the Future trilogy as well as study for your science exam in one evening? Over time, we learn to set priorities, make a decision for one thing over the other, and compromise. Just like when it comes to data access in business.

Cloudera and Dell/EMC are continuing our long and successful partnership of developing shared storage solutions for analytic workloads running in hybrid cloud.
