Cloudera eyes 'data hub' role



Cloudera eyes 'data hub' role    Analytical DBMS: HBase, and although not a DBMS, Cloudera Impala supports SQL querying on top of Hadoop.  In-memory DBMS: Although not a DBMS, Apache Spark supports in-memory analysis on top of Hadoop.  Hadoop distributions: CDH open-source distribution, Cloudera Standard, Cloudera Enterprise.   Stream-processing technology: Open-source stream-processing options on Hadoop include Storm.  Hardware/software systems: Partner appliances, preconfigured hardware, or both available from Cisco, Dell, HP, IBM, NetApp, and Oracle.  The market-leading distributor of Hadoop software, Cloudera is pushing hard to extend the data-processing framework into a comprehensive 'enterprise data hub' that can serve as a first destination and central point of management for all data within enterprises.  Cloudera vows support for open-source Hadoop, but to ensure enterprise-grade performance, reliability, data-access control, and security, Cloudera offers proprietary software including Cloudera Manager, Cloudera Navigator, and certain vendor-exclusive components for backup and recovery. What's more, open-source components including Cloudera Impala and Cloudera Search are best managed at scale with the aid of Cloudera Manager to provision, manage, and monitor workloads, and Cloudera Navigator to provide access control and auditing. Cloudera says its platform is steadily maturing to become the 'center of gravity' for data management, and it believes relational databases eventually will be reserved for niche applications involving small sets of consistent, structured data. Whether or not that jibes with your priorities, expect Cloudera to stay focused on providing a maturing and broadly capable Hadoop platform.
