Cloudera and Red Hat, announced an alliance to deliver joint enterprise software solutions including data integration and application development tools, and data platforms.
As part of the alliance, the two companies plan to deliver joint solutions to enterprise customers with cooperative documentation, marketing and support. In today’s enterprise, the new data life cycle is driven by vast amounts of unstructured and structured data, iterative analytic models and rapidly evolving technology landscape.
Says Scott Musson, Vice President, Global Strategic Alliances, Red Hat, “Red Hat believes the data life cycle in the enterprise is changing rapidly and requires an open, agile approach to innovation in the data center. Hadoop and OpenStack are key components to this disruption. Red Hat customers are looking for choices in open software solutions for big data and hybrid cloud to help them easily and quickly transform their infrastructure and applications. With today’s announcement, Red Hat and Cloudera intend to give customers an open and modular technology stack to quickly derive new insights from their data, optimize their existing investment in platform infrastructure and lower the overall cost of managing data platforms.”
