Intel and Cloudera strengthen strategic cooperation: big Data nuggets

Jointly organised by Intel Corporation and Cloudera Corporation, the joint launching ceremony and press conference on the theme "Strong alliances to focus on China's leading data" was launched in Shanghai yesterday after a successful visit to Beijing today. The two sides announced that they will continue to strengthen strategic partnership and develop collaborative innovation to further promote China's large data technology and industrial development, and better serve the Chinese market and users. As a leader in enterprise data analysis management driven by Apache Hadoop, Cloudera plans to establish a business presence in China this September, which will cover direct sales, professional services, customer support, training, and research and development. This will enable Cloudera to collaborate more closely with Intel on large data innovation. In addition, Cloudera will be pooling its partners with Intel to ensure better and more extensive user support.

By establishing its business presence in China to provide more efficient software and hardware data solutions and related support, Intel and Cloudera will use better services to meet the unique and advanced large data management needs of Chinese enterprise-class users.

The move by Intel and Cloudera to the Chinese market stems from a broad range of strategic technical and business partnerships announced by both sides in March this year. In this collaborative framework, Cloudera will choose the Intel architecture as the preferred development and optimization platform to fully release and leverage the potential of Intel's existing and future data center computing, storage, and network platforms and technologies. The two sides will further integrate the roadmap of future product development to build a converged platform to build a more efficient and easy-to-use large data solution that will make it easier for businesses of all sizes to discover more business value from massive amounts of data.

"From a technical or commercial point of view, Intel and Cloudera cooperation can be a combination of strong, complementary, benefiting the industry to describe." "The Big Data innovation vision that Intel has been working on is to help partners and users develop truly diverse, differentiated applications on top of open architecture data platforms," said Boyd Davis, vice president and managing director of data center software at Intel Corporation data Center. To ensure that every industry and field can benefit from the big Data age, and cloudera cooperation not only means that we can achieve the 1+1>2 effect on the software and hardware level of this platform, but also help to accelerate the innovation of various Apache Hadoop projects, This will bring more help and contribution to the development of the open source community and the innovation of the global data industry. ”

"Intel's previous practice in China's large data industries and markets, and its success in its acquisition, as well as the industrial environment in which China encourages the development of large data technology and applications, is a key factor in our determination to accelerate our access to the Chinese market," said Mr. Mike Olson, founder and chief strategist at Cloudera. This means that China is a key market for Intel and Cloudera, and we want to expand our business further to help companies in China, and around the world, find high-value information from big data. This allows users to leverage the solutions we have teamed up with Intel to achieve a fundamental transformation or breakthrough in the business with the support of authoritative experts in the field of data management and analysis. At the same time, our cooperation with Intel will also provide customers with more advanced products and services that suit their needs. ”

As a user of Intel's Big Data technology, Dr Feng Junlan, head of research and development at the China Mobile Research Institute, said: "The collaboration between Intel and Cloudera two trusted companies is exciting." I believe this is a major move by industry in that direction in the 2014. I am looking forward to seeing this strong alliance can push the development of large data technology faster and bring large data technology to the operation of Chinese enterprises. ”

The company's upcoming collaboration with Intel and Cloudera in the Chinese market has been highly praised by its local partners who have had in-depth cooperation with intel in large data areas. "We think it's like the surgery industry has a specialization, Intel can specialize in hardware products and technologies for large data, and we can get deep experience and professional support from Cloudera based on Hadoop technology," said Mr. Zhang, president of the Bo Kang Group, who focuses on large data applications in smart cities and intelligent surveillance. " and the innovative collaboration between Intel and Cloudera will bring a stronger overall advantage to the big data platform for Intel's architecture, and we are considering planning our development strategy with Intel's joint laboratory, leveraging its resources with Cloudera to develop more advanced, More cutting-edge data management and analysis class applications in the direction of the advance. ”

Cloudera and Intel are on a visit to China only one months after the partnership, driven by a consensus between the two sides and the industry as a whole on the prospects for a boom in China's big data market. Data from market research agencies also explain why the two sides value the Chinese market so much – according to IDC: the 2020 Global New and replicated information will reach 40ZB, 12 times times more than 2012 years, of which the amount of data from China will reach 8ZB, compared with China's 2012 years of data volume, Growth of up to 22 times times, which will increase the global share of data from 2012 to 2020 from 13% to 21%, also means that China's big data and data analysis will face huge opportunities.
