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.

The ability to access, analyze and use information from multiple sources has been a key factor in modernizing manufacturing, resulting in more efficient processes, and improved economic success.

More than 1,000 connectors and components in Talend Cloud put powerful graphical tools at your fingertips to connect databases, big data sources, on-premises data, and cloud applications. Now imagine designing cloud-to-cloud and hybrid integration workflows in Talend Studio and automating publication to a fully managed cloud platform.

The query execution graph provides an intuitive interface with insights to help you understand, troubleshoot and optimize your BigQuery analytics queries.

Customers can solve marketing analytics, data governance and data sharing challenges with cross-cloud analytics.

Whether inflation, global conflict or supply chain disruption, 2022 has been full of significant events that have fundamentally impacted the business landscape. The undercurrent is an accelerating de-globalization process. But this isn’t just geo-political in nature; the re-distribution of power and fragmentation of data are inextricably linked. As a result, data-driven businesses are having to adapt to a more distributed world – fast.

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.

Security and surveillance cameras are now almost ubiquitous in areas where people gather in numbers. From urban public spaces to sports grounds, shopping malls and offices, these cameras play critical roles in keeping people and property secure and protected, deterring crime and fraudulent activity, and helping to catch offenders. Founded in 2008 and now owned by Canon, BriefCam is a software provider committed to maximizing the value that video surveillance can deliver.

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.

Many times, a business treats an engaged customer like a random prospect. Marketing systems may not correctly target with relevance, finance systems may apply discount rules across the board, or customer support systems may treat every client with the same indifference.

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.

The growth of big data has scattered data sources throughout the enterprise, tucking them away in silos and making them hard to find. But there is more to data than just storing information in an operational data store or running analytics from a data warehouse. For example, regulated industries have requirements needing tighter control over the data.

Whether on-premises, private, hybrid or multicloud, or at the edge – working in the cloud is complex. And as the enterprise expands, so too does the threat surface for cyberattacks. Ransomware, in particular, is among the biggest risks organizations now face and cloud-based data is accounting for 39% of successful attacks.

What an incredible week in Las Vegas for this year’s annual AWS re:Invent conference. The last time we were in-person for re:Invent pre-Covid, the show had grown to over 60,000 attendees. This year the energy and sheer volume of activity felt like we were right back there. The difference from 2019 in where the industry is, however, was readily on display throughout the week.

Cross-cloud analytics are critical to breaking down data silos. Moving data with usability, security, low-latency, and audibility makes it a reality.

When you’re racing around a circuit at over 200mph, there isn’t much room for error. There's a team of thousands backing you, millions of dollars on the line and a grid of other teams vying for the podium. In motorsport, every millisecond counts – and that’s where data can make the difference. This is what I spoke to Joe DosSantos about in the latest episode of Data Brilliant.

Zeotap is a next-generation Customer Data Platform hosted in Google Cloud aimed at building customized Audience segments and activating at scale.

Use new BigQuery geospatial functions ST_IsClosed and ST_IsRing

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.
