Cloudera on OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure)

This post covers the recent updates from Oracle Cloud which is “Cloudera on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure”

Note: OCI is offering form of IaaS Service model (other 2 Cloud Service models are SaaS & PaaS), where OCI is re-branding of Bare Metal Cloud Service (BMCS).

If you don’t know what Cloudera is? then I would highly recommend you to go through my previous post on Hadoop Distribution: Cloudera vs Hortonworks

Oracle and Cloudera Brings the Ultimate Big Data Platform

The Cloudera and Oracle partnership allows customers to deploy comprehensive data strategies, from business operations to data warehousing, data science, data engineering, streaming, and real-time analytics, all on a unified enterprise cloud platform.

Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub brings together the best big data technologies from the Hadoop ecosystem and adds consistent security, and full support. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure adds unmatched performance, security, and availability.

Now You can Run your Hadoop operations on-premises, on Oracle’s Cloud, or in hybrid configurations, even across multiple clouds.

Expansion of Data

As we all know data is ever more critical in business, we all see an explosion of data in the marketplace, 30 billion connected devices are in the market, 440 times more data are available, & yet despite that data is available people are unnecessarily using it, less than 50% of structured data is been used in making decisions of business, less than 1% of unstructured data is being analyzed & used at all.

Reasons Why People choose Cloudera?

Cloudera takes open source software & enhance it in terms of a quality making Secure, performant, Complaint with things like GDPR, that ever more essential. Cloudera made them Scalable, so it will be Elastic, cost-effective & in the last which is more focused today that it can run anywhere, in the cloud environment, in the multi-cloud environment, on premises, you can run the Cloudera technology anywhere you want.

Why Big Data on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

The benefits of running Hadoop on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure go beyond the generic cloud benefits of ease of use, dynamic resources allocation, and ease of integration with data sources such as transactional databases and (IoT) data streaming. Only Oracle solves the key problems faced with running Hadoop on other public clouds: low compute performance resulting from too many layers of virtualization, too much latency on shared network infrastructure, and low-performance storage.

Advantages of Big Data on OCI

40% Better Compute Performance: Up to 40% better performance for Cloudera Big Data workloads on Oracle bare-metal compute instances, relative to virtual machines.
Up to 1 PB of Block Storage Per Node: Up to 1 PB of high-performance solid-state block storage per node.
Up to 50% Faster HDFS: Up to 50 TB of blisteringly fast NVMe SSD storage per node, for up to 50% better HDFS performance versus other public cloud storage.
Guaranteed Network Performance: Flat network with 25 Gbps bandwidth between any two nodes, guaranteed by the only network performance SLA in the industry.
