The importance of digital banking and electronic commerce has proven all the more important during the pandemic. Online shopping is the only choice in many cases for conducting commerce. A recent McKinsey report, pre-COVID 19 outbreak, revealed that retail digital banking acceptance was already high. It has increased to the point where 60% of customers under the age of 70 use digital channels. That number increases to 75% for those under the age of 50.

With the Oil and Gas Industry facing some unprecedented times and challenges with the price of crude oil, a slowing economy, and a forecasted decrease in the global market demand, there is a greater focus on a margin-based than production-based business. To address these constant challenges, new ways of thinking must be adopted to improve operational efficiency.

Apache HBase became a top-level project with Apache 10 years ago and Cloudera began contributing to it at the same time (2010). Over this time, it has become one of the largest and most popular open-source tools in big data and one of the most popular NoSQL databases.

People intuitively know that self-driving or autonomous cars present complex engineering challenges. Vehicle assembly is the easy part – we’ve been doing that for 100 years. The real challenge is a data challenge, acquiring and managing the data needed to run the vehicles’ brain, eyes, and ears. Autonomous driving technology complexity lies in the ability to ingest, store, analyze, and deploy large volumes of data & the high bandwidth needs of data-in-motion.

Today’s globalized organizations 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.

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 languages, frameworks, and applications supported by Cloudera’s OpDB.

Manufacturing has historically been laggards in its adoption of emerging technologies as business processes, from the production line to back-office operations, have inherently been tied to legacy applications. But that is rapidly changing. Faced with competitive pressures, and driven by technological enhancements across broad sectors of the economy, today’s manufacturing leaders are seeking new ways to improve productivity, reduce downtime, and streamline operations and the supply chain.

Apache YuniKorn (Incubating) is a standalone resource scheduler that aims to bring advanced scheduling capabilities for Big Data workloads onto containerized platforms. Please read YuniKorn: a universal resources scheduler to learn about the rationale and architecture. Since the time of our last post, we are delighted to update that YuniKorn was accepted by the Apache incubator in Jan 2020!

It seems everyone is talking about machine learning (ML) these days — and ML’s use in products and services we consume everyday continues to be increasingly ubiquitous. But for many enterprise organizations, the promise of embedding ML models across the business and scaling use cases remains elusive. So what about ML makes it difficult for enterprises to adopt at scale?

Too often, companies are finding out after the fact that customers have stopped using their product or service, without enough notice to have done anything about it. The term customer churn is used to describe the loss of existing customers. These are people or organizations that were using a company’s products and/or services and have decided not to use them anymore, in favor of a competitor. Tracking customer churn is a key business metric for most companies.
