Cloudera and T-Systems Partner

Cloudera announced that it has reached a strategic agreement with European IT systems provider T-Systems to deliver cloud-based data analytics solutions based on Cloudera's Platform for Big Data. T-Systems is Deutsche Telekom's corporate customer arm. Cloudera Enterprise powered by Cloudera Impala RTQ for real time analytics, will provide the data management infrastructure layer, enabling native data integration, visualization and analysis at scale.

"Our customers don't want to have to worry about the hardware and software for big data," says Christian Wirth, Vice President BI & Big Data at T-Systems.  "They don't want technology, just a reliable service. We can offer precisely this -- which is what makes our new offer with Cloudera so special."

"We are excited to be working with T-Systems, one of Europe's foremost IT service providers and a trusted global leader in cloud-based business solutions for the enterprise," said Tim Stevens, Vice President of Business and Corporate Development at Cloudera.

SeaMicro SM15000 certified for Cloudera Hadoop

AMD announced that the SeaMicro SM15000  server is now certified for CDH4, Cloudera’s Distribution Including Apache Hadoop Version 4. With up to 512 processor cores and over five petabytes of storage, the SM15000 is a power-efficient big data server platform.
