Cloudera Launches SDX, a Shared Data Experience for the EnterpriseNEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- STRATA DATA — Cloudera, Inc. (NYSE: CLDR), the modern platform for machine learning and analytics, optimized for the cloud, launched Cloudera SDX, a modular software framework that enables companies to have a "shared data experience". By applying a centralized, consistent framework for schema, security, governance, data ingest and more, SDX makes it possible for dozens of different customer applications to run against shared or overlapping sets of data. SDX makes multi-function data applications easier to develop, less expensive to deploy and more consistently secure. Cloudera SDX is available today for Cloudera Enterprise customers. Addressing many of today's executive-level initiatives - cybersecurity, connecting products and services, increasing the lifetime value of a customer and more - requires several different complex applications working together. For example, Internet of things (IoT) applications often involve ingest, ad hoc analytics, and machine learning on batch and streaming data. Next-best-offer platforms use machine learning and real-time processing together. In many cases these multi-function application clusters either run on cloud infrastructure or rely on data that was generated in the cloud. Developing and delivering these complex applications is a challenge in multi-tenant clusters on-premises, and it's particularly difficult in cloud environments because data context and policies don't persist in transient environments. Furthermore, most cloud services are actually siloed applications running in isolated clusters. SDX enables customers to create, govern, secure, and manage these multi-function, high-value analytic applications. SDX also facilitates Cloudera-certified partner solutions that integrate with and further enhance the platform capabilities. A key component within Cloudera SDX is a shared data catalog upon which consistent security, governance, and management functions can be established and leveraged for both long-running and transient analytics applications. The shared catalog also enables self-service access to business data, because IT is no longer required to recreate context and controls or each new use case. "Companies often cite security, governance, and complexity among their primary reasons for not moving their operational workloads to cloud," said Tony Baer, principal analyst at Ovum. "Cloudera has planted its stake in the ground by building in the security and data governance features to make companies confident in standing up their big data workloads in production . Cloudera SDX builds on the company's IP with a shared data experience across cloud and on-premises environments." Cloudera SDX addresses the following critical challenges for businesses:
"SDX is the 'secret sauce' within Cloudera Enterprise that accelerates data science, machine learning, and analytics," said Mike Olson, founder and chief strategy officer at Cloudera. "Data is the world's most valuable resource. It is the fuel that drives insights, powers machines, and solves impossible problems. From day one Cloudera's focus has been on helping companies extract value from their data. Cloudera SDX simplifies this mission for IT and business users alike." What Customers and Partners are Saying "SDX is yet another innovation that creates more value for our joint customers by providing shared services and simplifying security and governance for enterprise data," said Girish Pancha, chief executive officer at StreamSets. "StreamSets award winning platform for data ingest both reads from and writes to the catalog of business and technical metadata. Customers can thus help break down data silos and deliver better data SLAs to end users, so they can be more effective and efficient in analyzing data within Cloudera." "With the Cloudera platform, our Sepsis Biosurveillance tool enables earlier detection in patients, which reduced mortality rates significantly," said Dr. Joseph Colorafi, Vice President System, Chief Medical Information Officer at Dignity Health. "Cloudera SDX allows us to apply consistent governance and security including encryption at rest and in motion, authorization, authentication, and the full set of requirements to be HIPAA compliant."
