PALO ALTO, Calif., July 9, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Responding to the growing need to deliver more data to the right people at the right time, Cloudera, the leader in enterprise analytic data management powered by Apache Hadoop™, and Teradata, (NYSC: TDC) the big data analytics and marketing applications company, today announced the Teradata Appliance for Hadoop with Cloudera-the enterprise-ready Hadoop distribution.
Hadoop continues to mature into a transformational business platform for the enterprise. It provides a cost effective, massively scalable environment for storing, refining, modeling, exploring and analyzing large data sets of varying format, and yet customers struggle with the complexity of integrating Hadoop with other strategic components of their ecosystem. In order for enterprises to capture and analyze new data in unprecedented ways, organizations must be able to orchestrate workloads in such a way as to realize the right set of capabilities and economics for the right job with ease.
"Across lines of business, users need seamless, self-service data access. They're dealing with varying Hadoop workloads that are time sensitive and data intensive to push the boundaries of new discoveries and solve complex problems.
