Cloudera acquisition of large data encryption professional manufacturers Gazzang

"Tenkine Server channel June 18 News" Recently, large data maker Http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13456.html ">cloudera acquired large data encryption professional manufacturer Gazzang. And less than one months ago, Cloudera's rival, Hortonworks, had just acquired the security start-ups XA secure. This may indicate that security has become a core issue that can not be overlooked as more and more customers are introducing a large number of Hadoop deployments into the production environment, as well as the gradual maturation of such technology results.

Gazzang's technical solution includes a product for encrypting data stored in a Hadoop environment, plus a set of solutions for managing which users have access to keys, tokens, and other data access class protocols. In addition, the Gazzang company's technical results can be linked to other data storage mechanisms, including Cassandra, MongoDB, Couchbase, Amazon elastic mapreduce, and the Hadoop release of Pivotal.

Cloudera has incorporated a number of security measures into its software solutions and has made it a series of open-source technology deliverables and part of the company's Hadoop release. Cloudera also personally promotes the popularization of other technical programs, including Apache Sentry projects that manage which users (or applications) have access to data and metadata stored in hive and impala environments.

The Gazzang Technology program also helps improve the chip-level encryption mechanism, which is the Rhino project. The Rhino project is an important achievement that Cloudera has worked closely with Intel. As a first step in subsequent development, Gazzang products will be integrated into the Cloudera Navigator suite for enterprise data hub customers, respectively, and provided to users with license to Cloudera free Hadoop software.

Intel has invested 740 million of dollars into Hadoop Cloudera and will provide Cloudera sales and engineering support to the Chinese market in the future, which will enable Cloudera to collaborate more closely with Intel on Big Data innovations. After partnering with Intel, Cloudera is also committed to developing a Hadoop application solution based on the Intel x86 architecture. The Cloudera acquisition of Gazzang will make its Hadoop solution more secure in the enterprise-class market.
