There’s no doubt that cloud has become ubiquitous, and thank goodness for that in 2020. We wouldn’t have survived the challenges of this year without cloud. It’s supported everything, from the sudden changes in the way we work to the way we access healthcare and even shop for vital goods. While cloud is the vehicle, it’s what sits on it that makes it so valuable — data.

On August 18, we completed our Enterprise Data Cloud vision of bringing a truly hybrid cloud experience with the general availability of Cloudera Data Platform Private Cloud (CDP Private Cloud).

With only about 35% of machine learning models making into production in the enterprise (IDC), it’s no wonder that production machine learning has become one of the most important focus areas for data scientists and ML engineers alike. As you may remember, we recently announced a full set of MLOps capabilities in Cloudera Machine Learning, our cloud native machine learning tool for the cloud.

In the last blog with Deloitte’s Marc Beierschoder, we talked about what the hybrid cloud is, why it can benefit a business and what the key blockers often are in implementation. You can read it here.

The Corner Office is pressing their direct reports across the company to “Move To The Cloud” to increase agility and reduce costs. And next to those legacy ERP, HCM, SCM and CRM systems, that mysterious elephant in the room – that “Big Data” platform running in the data center that is driving much of the company’s analytics and BI – looks like a great potential candidate.

Live data-streaming offers businesses exciting new opportunities to transform the way they operate, leveraging real-time insights to drive better decision making and enhance operational efficiency.

2020 may well go down as the year where what seems impossible today, did become possible tomorrow. It’s been a year filled with disruption and uncertainty. One day we were all going to the office, and the next we were working from home. Businesses had to literally switch operations, and enable better collaboration and access to data in an instant — while streamlining processes to accommodate a whole new way of doing things.

One of the key challenges of building an enterprise-class robust scalable storage system is to validate the system under duress and failing system components. This includes, but is not limited to: failed networks, failed or failing disks, arbitrary delays in the network or IO path, network partitions, and unresponsive systems.

The current economic climate has meant a sudden and seismic step-change in how many of our customers operate. The recent shift to remote working has seen an increase in conversations around how data is managed, with many businesses needing to achieve democratic data access in order to derive value and improve efficiencies as we navigate the ‘new norm’. Toolsets and strategies have had to shift to ensure controlled access to data.

We recently Googled the manufacturing use case “predictive maintenance” and was astonished by the results there were 82 MILLION results returned. Next, we Googled “process optimization” and it yielded even more results – 302 MILLION. Clearly, these use cases are top of mind in today’s manufacturing landscape, considering digital transformation will deliver $11 Trillion USD in economic value by 2025.

The Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) service is a managed data warehouse that runs Cloudera’s powerful engines on a containerized architecture.

Today’s public sector organizations and government agencies demand a new standard for communicating and sharing information. That includes data-rich content that moves through environments, networks and locales. From being stored, analyzed and shared, to quickly and effectively moving between environments, to spinning up in clusters and informing endless applications—data is more critical than ever.

How Cloud Computing is evolving alongside Big Data, Analytics, and AI in Financial Services.
