What is Cloudera?
Cloudera is a hybrid data and AI platform that brings artificial intelligence directly to your data—no matter where it lives. Whether your data is in public clouds, private data centers, or at the edge (like IoT devices or remote locations), Cloudera lets you run AI workloads securely and efficiently without moving sensitive information. This approach saves time, reduces costs, and keeps your data governed and compliant.
Designed for enterprises across industries—from banking to healthcare to manufacturing—Cloudera unifies fragmented data systems into a single, open, and intelligent fabric. With built-in tools for data engineering, real-time analytics, and AI development, it empowers teams to turn raw data into actionable insights faster and more responsibly.
What are the features of Cloudera?
- AI Anywhere: Deploy and scale any AI model—like assistants, agents, or inference engines—directly where your data resides, ensuring Private AI with full security and governance.
- Cloud Anywhere: Get a consistent cloud experience across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments without vendor lock-in.
- Open Data Lakehouse: Built on Apache Iceberg, it provides a reliable, unified foundation for analytics and AI using structured and unstructured data.
- Unified Data Fabric: Break down data silos by connecting disparate sources with centralized security, governance, and lineage tracking.
- Data in Motion: Stream and process real-time data from any source to any destination, enabling instant decisions at the edge or in the cloud.
- Enterprise AI Suite: Includes AI Workbench, AI Studios, AI Assistants, and AI Inference Service for end-to-end AI development and deployment.
