Launch of the All-Encompassing Saas Data Lakehouse by Cloudera

Cloudera claims that its service is the first to integrate compute, storage, ML, streaming analytics, and corporate security

The big data business Cloudera, which focuses on Hadoop and went public in 2017 before returning to private equity in a $5.3 billion deal in 2021, is now putting a lot of effort into becoming the unifying data fabric for hybrid databases. With the introduction of its Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) One Data lakehouse as a service (LaaS), the business took a further step in this regard today. Companies will have a framework to enable more of their personnel to access data and conduct self-service analytics thanks to this managed product. Cloudera claims that its service is the first to integrate compute, storage, ML, streaming analytics, and corporate security, and it makes for compelling marketing material.

According to Ram Venkatesh, CTO at Cloudera, "empowering everyone in your organization to acquire the real-time insights they need to make the demands of the right decision establishing a genuinely modern data architecture in the cloud." "Many organizations lack the finances, the time, or the knowledge necessary to carry out this shift. With the addition of CDP One to our portfolio of CDP cloud data services, Cloudera's most recent cloud innovation fundamentally changes the game by cutting months or even years off deployment times and offering top-notch data protection.

Additionally, Venkatesh contends that this technology can assist businesses in moving workloads to the cloud without having to pay for the expense of maintaining a complicated infrastructure configuration themselves. It should come as no surprise that is sort of the SaaS's purpose.

Datacoral and Cazena were two SaaS companies that Cloudera bought a year ago. It was a key component of Cazena's SaaS service that users could quickly build their own cloud data lakes, and that technology is probably at the heart of the company's launch today.

To assist customers with this transition, Cloudera and its ISV partner Talend collaborated on this launch. According to the company, the service is presently "open to consumers that sign up and will be widely available later this year." Before you ask, I'll also admit that I'm unsure of the distinction between making it available to consumers who sign up now and making it publicly available later this year.
