Digital transformation has been on the agenda for a long time, but the sudden need to respond to the unprecedented challenges of 2020, has meant the buzzword has become an executable reality for many enterprises. I recently came across a KPMG report that revealed that 80% of executives are increasing investments on emerging technologies now, to drive higher realized value in the future. Underlying digital transformation and investment decisions is a precious asset: data.

In our last two posts, we talked with Deloitte’s Marc Beierschoder and Martin Mannion respectively about the requirement organizations have to deploy their data and analytics, quickly, into a hybrid environment. On top of that, there is the fundamental aspect of consistent security and governance of your enterprise data cloud and need for multiple users with different requirements to access data flexibly.

This blog post will present a simple “hello world” kind of example on how to get data that is stored in S3 indexed and served by an Apache Solr service hosted in a Data Discovery and Exploration cluster in CDP. For the curious: DDE is a pre-templeted Solr-optimized cluster deployment option in CDP, and recently released in tech preview. We will only cover AWS and S3 environments in this blog.

Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are in the middle of a data-driven transformation. The current scale and pace of change in the Telecommunications sector is being driven by the rapid evolution of new technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, advanced data analytics, and edge computing. This is opening up new revenue opportunities, use cases, and even the possibility for different types of business models within the sector, changing the way that CSPs operate.

In the final installment in the series, Vijay Raja, Director of Industry & Solutions Marketing at Cloudera shares his views on how the telecom sector is changing and where it goes next. Hi Vijay, thank you so much for joining us again. To continue where we left off, how are ML and IoT influencing the Telecom sector, and how is Cloudera supporting this industry evolution?

Recently, Cloudera announced the release of Cloudera CDP Private Cloud, delivering the final component of our hybrid cloud strategy. There’s nothing comparable to it in the industry. CDP Private Cloud offers benefits of a public cloud architecture—autoscaling, isolation, agile provisioning, etc.—in an on-premise environment.

It is hard to believe if you have had previous experience with setting up, sizing, and deploying a distributed search engine service that this is possible. Imagine how many times IT has lost valuable time spending hours trying to understand Apache Solr application requirements and map them into how to best size and deploy the Solr service. Time that is lost to Line of Business as well.

Live data-streaming offers businesses exciting new opportunities to transform the way they operate, leveraging real-time insights to drive better decision making and enhance operational efficiency. To find out more about how streaming data might impact the financial services sector I sat down for a chat with Dinesh Chandrasekhar, Head of Product Marketing in Cloudera’s Data-in-Motion Business Unit.

Service Management Group (SMG) offers an easy-to-use experience management (XM) platform that combines end-to-end customer and employee experience management software with hands-on professional services to deliver actionable insights and help brands get smarter about their customers.
