ClearStory Data said it has further integrated its Apache Spark-based business user application and data harmonization engine with CDH, the latest version of Cloudera’s Hadoop distribution platform.
With this integration, ClearStory Data brings its Spark-based data processing capabilities to CDH customers as a native, integrated data source. ClearStory Data is a certified technology partner of Cloudera.
Hadoop-based data hubs have increasingly emerged as a singular location for enterprise and consumer internet companies to store all data. As a result, data hubs hold a rich variety of data with the potential for extremely high-value insights when integrated with new-generation Spark-based analytics solutions.
By pairing ClearStory Data with Cloudera, customers are able to speed data access and analysis by leveraging ClearStory’s unique capabilities around data inference, data harmonization and metadata management.
Further, given ClearStory’s intuitive application experience, it can be used by business analysts and other staff without the requirement for specialized data or technical skills.
The integrated solution is focused on answering important business questions on a fast-cycle, leveraging data from CDH. ClearStory Data’s simple business application, user-guided interface, collaborative “Data Stories” and “Interactive, Collaborative StoryBoards” let business users be more self-reliant with data analysis and frees up IT resources, while enforcing appropriate user and data governance controls based on the nature and sensitivity of the data stored in CDH.
