Clouderans made a global impact by running a number of donation activities and local giving events to celebrate the season of giving.

Across the energy supply chain from generation to consumer, we can see that the trend toward investing in renewable energy has picked up pace as demand has grown for energy companies to actively pursue investments in energies with little or no environmental impact in the quest for decarbonisation. McKinsey estimates that by 2035, 50% of energy will be wind and solar.

We are pleased to announce that Cloudera has been named a Leader in the 2022 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud Database Management Systems. Cloudera has been recognized in this cloud DBMS report since its inception in 2020. This year we’ve been named a Leader. This validates our significant momentum in global enterprises. And together, with our recent recognition in the Gartner Peer Insights Customer Choice Distinction for Cloud DBMS, cements our position as an industry leader.

Since we announced the general availability of Apache Iceberg in Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), Cloudera customers, such as Teranet, have built open lakehouses to future-proof their data platforms for all their analytical workloads. Cloudera partners are also benefiting from Apache Iceberg in CDP. For example, Modak Nabu is helping their enterprise customers accelerate data ingestion, curation, and consumption at petabyte scale.

OCBC Bank is the second largest financial services group in Southeast Asia by assets and one of the most highly-rated banks in the world. Recognised for its financial strength and stability, OCBC Bank is consistently ranked among the World’s Top 50 Safest Banks by Global Finance.

For the vast majority of US citizens, the front lines of conflict are witnessed from thousands of miles away on the nightly news. But for government agencies, these physical conflicts are the tip of the iceberg as cyberattacks persist as an underlying constant, inflicting enduring damage regardless of geopolitical tension or location.

Over the past few months industry analysts have been making some pretty controversial recommendations for data management in the cloud. For a thoughtful and entertaining analysis, I strongly recommend you spend a few minutes watching the keynote session by Pat Moorhead, CEO Moor Insights & Strategy, at the Evolve 2022 Data event in New York. His takeaway: “The world is very much going to be hybrid and multi-cloud.” His delivery—priceless.

Cloudera has been providing enterprise support for Apache NiFi since 2015, helping hundreds of organizations take control of their data movement pipelines on premises and in the public cloud. Working with these organizations has taught us a lot about the needs of developers and administrators when it comes to developing new dataflows and supporting them in mission-critical production environments.

Full-stack observability is a critical requirement for effective modern data platforms to deliver the agile, flexible, and cost-effective environment organizations are looking for. For analytic applications to properly leverage a hybrid, multi-cloud ecosystem to support modern data architectures, data observability has become even more important. I spoke to Mark Ramsey of Ramsey International (RI) to dive deeper into that last subject.
