Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox company Cloudera, Inc. is an American software company providing an enterprise data management and analytics platform. The platform is the only cloud native platform purpose built from the ground up to run on all major public cloud providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP[1]) as well as on on-premises private cloud (Red Hat OCP, and Open Source Kubernetes) environments. It allows users to store and analyze data using hardware and software in cloud-based and data center operations, spanning hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Cloudera offers cloud-native analytics for data distribution, data engineering, data warehousing, transactional data, streaming data, data science, and machine learning.[2]

History

Cloudera, Inc. was formed on June 27, 2008, by Christophe Bisciglia (from Google), Amr Awadallah (from Yahoo!), Jeff Hammerbacher (from Facebook), and Mike Olson (from Oracle).[3][4] Awadallah oversaw a business unit performing data analysis using Hadoop while at Yahoo!;[5] Hammerbacher used Hadoop to develop some of Facebook's data analytics applications;[6] and Olson formerly served as the CEO of Sleepycat Software, the company that created Berkeley DB. The four were joined in 2009 by Doug Cutting, a co-founder of Hadoop.[7]

In March 2009, Cloudera released Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop (CDH), a commercial distribution of Hadoop,[8] in conjunction with a $5 million investment led by Accel Partners.[9] This was followed by a $25 million funding round in October 2010,[10] a $40M funding round in November 2011,[11] and a $160M funding round in March 2014.[12][13][14]

In June 2013, Tom Reilly became CEO, although Olson remained as chairman of the board and chief strategist.[15] Both left the company in June 2019.[16] Rob Bearden was appointed as Cloudera's CEO in January 2020.[17]

In March 2014, Intel invested $740 million in Cloudera for an 18% stake in the company.[18] These shares were repurchased by Cloudera in December 2020 for $314 million.[19][20]

On April 28, 2017, the company became a public company via an initial public offering.[21] Over the next four years, the company's share price declined in the wake of falling sales figures[22] and the rise of public cloud services like Amazon Web Services.[23] In October 2018, Cloudera and Hortonworks announced their merger,[24] which the two companies completed the following January.[25] In October 2021, the company went private after an acquisition by KKR and Clayton, Dubilier & Rice in an all cash transaction valued at approximately $5.3 billion.[26][23]

Cloudera has formed partnerships with companies such as Dell,[27] IBM,[28][29] and Oracle.[30]

Products and services

Cloudera provides the Cloudera Data Platform, a collection of products related to cloud services and data processing.[31] Some of these services are provided through public cloud servers such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services, while others are private cloud services that require a subscription. Cloudera markets these products for purposes related to machine learning and data analysis.[32]

Cloudera has adopted the marketing term "lakehouse," which derives from a combination of the terms "data lake" and "data warehouse." Cloudera's data lakehouse[33] is based on Apache Iceberg, an open source format for very large analytics tables that enables both SQL queries and allows other engines to work with the same tables simultaneously.

Operations

Cloudera is headquartered in Santa Clara, California. It has operations in 19 countries, including Canada, Chile, Brazil, Netherlands, Hungary, Ireland, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Switzerland, India, China, Australia, Indonesia, South Korea, Singapore, and Japan.[34]
