Cloudera Inc. is an American-based software company that provides Apache Hadoop-based software, support and services, and training to business customers.

Cloudera's open-source Apache Hadoop distribution, CDH (Cloudera Distribution Including Apache Hadoop), targets enterprise-class deployments of that technology. Cloudera says that more than 50% of its engineering output is donated upstream to the various Apache-licensed open source projects (Apache Hive, Apache Avro, Apache HBase, and so on) that combine to form the Hadoop platform. Cloudera is also a sponsor of the Apache Software Foundation.[2]

History

Three engineers from Google, Yahoo and Facebook (Christophe Bisciglia, Amr Awadallah and Jeff Hammerbacher, respectively) joined with a former Oracle executive (Mike Olson) to form Cloudera in 2008.[3] Olson was the CEO of Sleepycat Software, the creator of the open-source embedded database engine Berkeley DB (acquired by Oracle in 2006). Awadallah was from Yahoo, where he ran one of the first business units using Hadoop for data analysis.[4] At Facebook Hammerbacher used Hadoop for building analytic applications involving massive volumes of user data.[5]

Architect Doug Cutting, also a former chairman of the Apache Software Foundation, authored the open-source Lucene and Nutch search technologies before he wrote the initial Hadoop software in 2004. He designed and managed a Hadoop storage and analysis cluster at Yahoo! before joining Cloudera in 2009. Chief operating officer was Kirk Dunn.[6]

In March 2009, Cloudera announced the availability of Cloudera Distribution Including Apache Hadoop in conjunction with a $5 million investment led by Accel Partners.[7] In 2011, the company raised a further $40 million from Ignition Partners, Accel Partners, Greylock Partners, Meritech Capital Partners, and In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm with open connections to the CIA.[8]

In June 2013 Tom Reilly became chief executive, although Olson remained as chairman of the board and chief strategist. Reilly was chief executive at ArcSight when it was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2010.[9] In March 2014 Cloudera announced a $900 million funding round, led by Intel Capital ($740 million), for which Intel received 18% share in Cloudera and Intel dropped its own Hadoop distribution and dedicated 70 Intel engineers to work exclusively on cloudera projects. With additional funds coming from T Rowe Price, Google Ventures and an affiliate of MSD Capital, L.P., the private investment firm for Michael S. Dell. and others.[10]

In January 2012 Oracle Corporation announced a partnership with Cloudera for its Oracle Big Data Appliance.[11] In January 2013 Dell announced a partnership with Cloudera.[12] In March 2013 Intel invested $740 million in Cloudera for an 18% investment.[13] In May 2013 SAS Institute announced a partnership.[14] In June 2014 Accenture announced a service offering based on Cloudera.[15] In June 2014 Cloudera acquired Gazzang, which developed encryption and key management software.[16] In October 2014 Cloudera announces the first Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) Hadoop distribution with MasterCard.[17] In February 2015 Deloitte announced an alliance with Cloudera.[18] In May 2015 Capgemini announced a marketing program for SAP HANA and Cloudera.[19] In July 9, 2015 Cloudera a partnership with Teradata.[20] In September 2015 Cloudera announced the Kudu file format.[21] In September 2015 Microsoft Azure announced full support of Cloudera Enterprise.[22]

In January 2016 Tata Consultancy Services announced an Internet of things framework based on Cloudera for sensor data analytics.[23] In February 2016 EMC announces evolution in advanced storage with DSSD support for Cloudera[24]

In 2016, Cloudera was ranked #5 on the Forbes Cloud 100 list.[25]

Products and services

Cloudera offers software, services and support in three bundles:

CDH contains the main, core elements of Hadoop that provide reliable, scalable distributed data processing of large data sets (chiefly MapReduce and HDFS), as well as other enterprise-oriented components that provide security, high availability, and integration with hardware and other software.[28]

In October 2012, Cloudera announced the Cloudera Impala project, an open-source distributed query engine for Apache Hadoop.[29]
