Use cases
Build a better data lake
Challenge: Build an enterprise data lake that has the proper level of data governance and security plus the analytic tools needed by data scientists to drive better data models, visualization and machine learning.
Solution: IBM and Cloudera offer an enterprise data platform with an ecosystem of open source-based, integrated products and services engineered to speed time to value when building a data lake.
Meet the growing challenges of AI
Challenge: Access, collect and analyze data in new formats (streaming, call log, sentiment and social media) from external sources and internal ones, on premises and in the cloud to promote machine learning and AI initiatives.
Solution: IBM and Cloudera are driving AI with solutions that unlock the value of data in new ways, enable the deployment and management of business models, predict future outcomes and automate processes.
Offloading EDW data and ETL workloads
Challenge: Explosive data growth means the enterprise data warehouse (EDW) is being used for unintended purposes, such as running extract, transform, load (ETL) workloads and providing expensive storage of large volumes of unused data.
Solution: A data lake from IBM and Cloudera helps offload EDW data and ETL workloads. Optimized for cloud, our flexible platform and add-ons provide economical storage and technologies for machine learning and analytics.
