What is Cloudera?
Cloudera is probably currently the best platform for data analytics, data warehousing, and machine learning. Three engineers from Google, Facebook and Yahoo were the founders of Cloudera in 2008. Inspired by Hadoop used for building analytics projects, Cloudera was involved to solve some of the Hadoop issues such as data security and governance. Additionally, hosting many Hadoop tools under the same umbrella is revolutionizing enterprise data management by offering 'Cloudera Data Platform' which is the first unified Platform for Big Data.
Why is it awesome?
- It runs in any cloud (allowing you to save storage, processing power, and have a number of Hadoop tools and data processing tools integrated and ready to use).
- It is multifunction (different processes can be applied to the same data).
- It is secure (saving you the trouble of missing any data security regulations when working in a global range).
- It is open source!
