Why Cloudera
Everyone knows that data volumes are growing exponentially. What’s not so clear is how to unlock the value it holds. The answer is Cloudera, the Platform for Big Data. With a single, integrated enterprise-class solution, Cloudera lets you efficiently query all of your data - structured and unstructured - and have a view beyond data sitting in relational databases. Equally important, Cloudera's platform runs in real time, so you can work at the speed of thought as you build rapidly on deep insights, create competitive advantage and become truly data-driven.
Accelerate Time to Insight: Ask Bigger Questions
Enterprises struggle to store and manage Big Data – by definition, Big Data exceeds the capacity of current relational systems – and the reason is clear: those legacy systems were designed decades ago, long before Big Data was front and center in the collective imagination. But the development of Apache Hadoop technology changes the economics of data completely. For the first time, the technology exists to efficiently store, manage and analyze virtually unlimited amounts of data - allowing you to put the right workload in the right system.
100% open source and engineered to run on industry-standard hardware, Hadoop scales virtually without limits and handles any type of data, no matter how encoded or formatted and whether structured or unstructured. And now with Cloudera's Platform for Big Data, Hadoop is enterprise-proven, already delivering on the promise of Big Data across numerous industries and hundreds of use cases.

Accelerate Big Data: The Standard for Hadoop in the Enterprise
More organizations manage Big Data using CDH, our 100% open source and enterprise-ready distribution of Hadoop and related projects, than all other Hadoop distributions combined. It’s the most comprehensive Hadoop distribution available, and coupled with Cloudera Manager software and Cloudera support, it provides unrivaled stability, integration and ease-of-use.
But we're just getting started. With Cloudera Enterprise RTD and Cloudera Enterprise RTQ, we've dramatically increased Hadoop's effectiveness by delivering on the promise of real-time: by making Apache HBase and Cloudera Impala technologies manageable and fully supported, overcoming Hadoop’s past interactivity limitations, and ushering in a new era of speed-of-thought interactive analysis on data stored in a Hadoop cluster.
In fact, Cloudera’s latest contribution to the open source community, Impala, enables existing data management solutions to be freed up for only the highest value, lowest volume workloads like operational and business analytics – leaving Cloudera Enterprise to take care of everything else at a fraction of the cost of legacy systems.
Accelerate the Integration of Hadoop into Your Environment
Enterprises benefit from the Cloudera Connect Partner Program, which numbers over 500 strong and counts more members than any other partner program in the Hadoop world. Cloudera is also one of the leading providers of a Technology Certification program, ensuring consistency, reliability and tight integration with your enterprise environment.
Accelerate Innovation: The Power of Open Source
When you choose Cloudera for your Big Data platform, you gain the innovative power of not only the most experienced team with the greatest number of committers across all the projects in the Apache Hadoop universe, but also of the work being done by the entire Apache Hadoop open source community. This is critical, because no single company can out-innovate an entire industry.
