Due to cloud’s agility, elasticity, and global scale, many companies have deployed their Cloudera Data Hub (CDH) and/or Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP) clusters to this environment. Using the cloud in an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model, companies can easily add (virtual) infrastructure as needed to their clusters. But, neither CDH nor HDP was designed to take advantage of cloud technologies.
Join us for this webinar as we discuss Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) – Public Cloud, which has been built from the ground up to take advantage of the cloud, including object stores and containers. See how CDP – Public Cloud delivers a cloud-native experience with:
Lower costs
Faster analytics
Easier security and governance
Reduced operational risk
This webinar will include a comparison of running CDH and HDP in the cloud with CDP – Public Cloud as it relates to functionality, TCO, and customers’ experiences. We will also discuss how easy it is to move your workloads from CDH / HDP in the cloud to CDP – Public Cloud.
Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) is launching today. It’s a watershed release and brings existential changes to Hadoop and Big Data overall. It’s the culmination of several developments, including Cloudera’s merger with its erstwhile rival, Hortonworks. And the pressure to deliver it has been intense.

BACKSTORY
When Cloudera announced its first post-Hortonworks-merger quarterly results this past March, the market balked. Cloudera disclosed results for FY19 Q4 and outlook for FY20 Q1 that were disappointing relative to Wall Street estimates. It then discussed how customers were postponing renewal agreements ahead of the release of CDP, which would merge CDH and HDP, the respective Cloudera and Hortonworks legacy Hadoop/Spark distributions.
Essentially, Cloudera imposed the Osborne effect on itself and from there, the race was on to ship CDP in order to stop the apparent bleeding. Not long after, CEO Tom Reilly and founder/Chief Strategy Officer Mike Olson both retired. Over-eager industry observers started writing their Cloudera obits. At the time, ZDNet editor in chief Lawrence Dignan gave a more empirical analysis: “Now the challenge for Cloudera is clear: It can’t afford any delays with the Cloudera Data Platform.”

As if that weren’t enough intrigue, last month, activist investor Carl Icahn and his affiliates took an 18%+ stake in Cloudera and won two seats on the Cloudera Board. But now Cloudera can perhaps exhale. The company announced upbeat FY20 Q2 results earlier this month, and today, as the annual Strata Data New York conference (which Cloudera presents with O’Reilly) starts up, Cloudera is indeed launching CDP.
