Dell Technologies works closely with Cloudera to understand the needs of Apache Hadoop customers, validating hardware and software-based solutions. Using the right infrastructure for the right data empowers organizations with deeper insights and enhanced data-driven decision making.
Dell Technologies and Cloudera combine a powerful yet simple, highly efficient, and massively scalable storage platform with integrated support for data analytics through the PowerScale OneFS native HDFS layer, allowing organizations to implement an in-place data analytics approach quickly. This helps avoid unnecessary capital expenditures, increased operational costs, and time-consuming replication of your big data to a separate infrastructure.
