Cloudera, the data company specializing in enterprise AI, has officially entered into a Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). This agreement implies that Cloudera is committed to making cloud-based data management and analytics on AWS better and more widespread. Cloudera will harness AWS services to foster ongoing innovation and cost efficiency for customers using the Cloudera open data lakehouse on AWS, specifically tailored for enterprise generative AI.
The company is part of the AWS Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Workload Migration Program (WMP) Partner ecosystem. They also have a Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) Public Cloud listing on the AWS Marketplace. This makes it easier for customers to use credits for faster cloud workload migration and CDP procurement on AWS.
Their primary focus on elevating the open data lakehouse experience, has chosen AWS to manage critical components of CDP, such as data in motion, data lake house, data warehouse, operational database, AI/machine learning, master data management, and end-to-end security. This strategic decision enables customers to swiftly transition to CDP in the cloud without requiring application refactoring, while also supporting hybrid deployments.
Furthermore, Cloudera has seamlessly integrated CDP with AWS services, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS), and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), providing customers with a tightly woven platform that reduces costs and capitalizes on AWS’s latest innovations. Cloudera customers gain access to AWS native services without the need for self-managed integrations.
Paul Codding, Executive Vice President of Product Management at Cloudera, stated, “Deepening our collaboration with AWS gives customers even more reasons to choose to run the Cloudera Data Platform on AWS. With tighter hardware and AWS service integration, customers get the best possible experience with strong security and governance, along with new cost reduction options to support their most critical analytical workloads.”
David Wroe, Principal Software Engineer & Solution Architect for Be The Match, a global leader in cell therapy, noted, “Our move to CDP Public Cloud on AWS for Be The Match’s search and match platform has resulted in significant cost savings for the organization and a reduction in the infrastructure maintenance expense measured in millions of dollars. As a non-profit, this affords us tremendous operational flexibility that was not previously possible.”
AWS and Cloudera will partner to expand cloud-native data management and data analytics capabilities on AWS, in addition to jointly developing marketing and co-selling initiatives for customers.
PhonePe announced that it chose the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) to improve operational efficiency in mid August this year. CDP will facilitate the migration of some workloads to the cloud while maintaining on-premise operations. As a growing fintech company, PhonePe explained their decision saying that it aimed to address data scaling challenges by transitioning to a hybrid data platform.
