This blog post is part of a series on Cloudera’s Operational Database (OpDB) in CDP. Each post goes into more details about new features and capabilities. Start from the beginning of the series with, Operational Database in CDP. This blog post gives you an overview of the high availability configuration capabilities of Cloudera’s OpDB. Cloudera’s Operational Database (OpDB) is a cluster-based software, which comes configured for High Availability (HA) out of the box.

The first thing that comes to mind when talking about synergy is how 2+2=5. Being the writer that he is, Mark Twain described it a lot more eloquently as “the bonus that is achieved when things work together harmoniously”. There is a multitude of product and business examples to illustrate the point and I particularly like how car manufacturers can bring together relatively small engines to do big things.

You did it. You have machine learning capabilities up and running in your organization. Success! What started as a few nascent experiments (and maybe a few failures) are now carefully constructed models racing along in full production—with the ability to scale into the hundreds or thousands of productional models in sight. Assembling your expert team of data scientists and custodians seems like a distant memory. Now you’re looking ahead to the future—growth, innovation, revenue!

This post describes an architecture, and associated controls for privacy, to build a data platform for a nationwide proactive contact tracing solution.

This blog post is part of a series on Cloudera’s Operational Database (OpDB) in CDP. Each post goes into more details about new features and capabilities. Start from the beginning of the series with, Operational Database in CDP. This blog post gives you an overview of the OpDB management tools and features in the Cloudera Data Platform. The tools discussed in this article will help you understand the various options available to manage the operations of your OpDB cluster.

There are many reasons to run a big data distribution, such as Cloudera Data Hub (CDH) and Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP), in the cloud with Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). The main reason is agility. When the business needs to onboard a new use case, a data admin can bring on additional virtual infrastructure to their clusters in the cloud in minutes or hours. With an on-prem cluster, it may take weeks or months to add the infrastructure capacity for the new use cases.

Insurance companies around the world are striving ahead with innovative offerings that are fundamentally changing the insurance landscape. Insurance companies are creating personalized offerings and products that are tailored to the specific needs of their customers. For example, they are implementing usage-based insurance (UBI) based on driving habits, miles driven and driving history and discounts on health insurance based on health trackers, etc.).

2020 brings a new decade, and for the U.S Census Bureau, a new challenge. As the federal government’s—and the nation’s—leading provider of demographic and economic data, its largest initiative is the U.S. Census, which is conducted every 10 years and counts every resident in the United States. For the first time in U.S history, the census will be conducted primarily online instead of by mail.

Since childhood, we’ve been taught about the power of coalitions: working together to achieve a shared objective. In nature, we see this repeated frequently – swarms of bees, ant colonies, prides of lions – well, you get the idea. It is no different when it comes to Machine Learning models. Research and practical experience show that groups or ensembles of models do much better than a singular, silver bullet model. Intuitively, this makes sense.
