Cloudera
Hybrid platform for data and AI.
Cloudera is a hybrid data and AI platform that lets organizations run data and AI workloads across clouds, data centers, and the edge. It addresses the challenge of fragmented data estates by unifying data under a single control plane with consistent security and governance, while supporting real-time and predictive analytics and AI applications.
Built around an open data lakehouse powered by Apache Iceberg, the platform includes Cloudera Anywhere Cloud, a modular hybrid offering. Key capabilities include multifunction analytics, Lakehouse Optimizer, data sharing via Iceberg REST Catalog, built-in governance with fine-grained access policies and end-to-end lineage, and AI Assistants (SQL AI Assistant and AI Visual Assistant). Related products cover data warehousing, data engineering with Apache Spark on Iceberg, AI, data flow, shared data experience, and data lineage. The lakehouse interoperates with third-party Iceberg-compatible engines and supports on-premises and public cloud deployment.
Cloudera targets enterprises managing complex hybrid data environments across industries such as financial services, telecommunications, insurance, and the public sector. Free training in Apache Iceberg fundamentals is available through Cloudera Education; no pricing or plan structure is detailed on these pages.
