Cloudera expands machine learning & data analytics footprint

Cloudera has expanded its footprint in machine learning and analytics with the launch of Cloudera Altus with SDX, a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) built with a shared data catalog that provides the business context of a user's data. Cloudera Altus supports a variety of high-value business use cases that require applying multiple data analysis capabilities and approaches together. SDX makes it possible for those analytic functions to work together to combine data from different sources into a single coherent and actionable picture. Example use cases include answering complex questions about customer "next-best-offer", IoT predictive maintenance, and advanced threat detection. Cloudera's cloud business unit general manager Vikram Makhija says Cloudera Altus with SDX enables businesses to build and manage multi-function analytics use cases in the cloud, integrating data engineering, IoT, customer, and operations analytics, with machine learning.
