Cloudera launches enterprise data hub. Cloudera announced the availability of an enterprise data hub solution and unveiled new simplified product packaging. Cloudera Enterprise is now offered in three editions, aligned with how customers use Hadoop: Enterprise Data Hub, Enterprise Flex edition, and Enterprise Basic edition. A new addition to the Cloudera Enterprise family is support for Apache Spark, an open source, parallel data processing framework that complements Hadoop, making it easy to develop fast, unified Big Data applications that combine batch, streaming, and interactive analytics. "Fast Data is a new hotspot with Hadoop," said Tony Baer, principal analyst, Ovum. "The same data explosion that generated demand for Big Data Analytics is also creating demand for making the data instantly actionable. Cloudera's embrace of Spark is a major stake in the ground for promoting Fast Data workloads on Hadoop. Cloudera's simplified pricing and broad inclusion of components will remove a major point of friction for customers seeking to explore the potential of Hadoop."
