It’s been said that the Federal Government is one of, if not the largest, producer of data in the United States, and this data is at the heart of mission delivery for agencies across the civilian to DoD spectrum. Data is critical to driving the innovation and decision-making that improves services, streamlines operations and strengthens national security.

We’re excited to share that Gartner has recognized Cloudera as a Visionary among all vendors evaluated in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cloud Database Management Systems. This recognition underscores Cloudera’s commitment to continuous customer innovation and validates our ability to foresee future data and AI trends, and our strategy in shaping the future of data management.

At a time when AI is exploding in popularity and finding its way into nearly every facet of business operations, data has arguably never been more valuable. More recently, that value has been made clear by the emergence of AI-powered technologies like generative AI (GenAI) and the use of Large Language Models (LLMs).

The ongoing progress in Artificial Intelligence is constantly expanding the realms of possibility, revolutionizing industries and societies on a global scale. The release of LLMs surged by 136% in 2023 compared to 2022, and this upward trend is projected to continue in 2024. Today, 44% of organizations are experimenting with generative AI, with 10% having already implemented it in operational settings. Companies must act now in order to stay in the AI Race.

As enterprise AI technologies rapidly reshape our digital environment, the foundation of your cloud infrastructure is more critical than ever. That’s why Cloudera and Red Hat, renowned for their open-source solutions, have teamed up to bring Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) to Cloudera on public cloud as the operating system for all of our public cloud platform images. Let’s dive into what this means and why it’s a game-changer for our customers.
