Cloudera Academic Partnership
Growing interest around Apache Hadoop and Big Data solutions is driving demand for professionals with the skills to derive value from all data. To this end, Cloudera is partnering with universities around the globe to help develop the next generation of Big Data professionals.
Cloudera Academic Partnerships (CAPs) are designed to provide accredited, nonprofit universities access to Cloudera’s industry-leading products to help streamline and accelerate adoption of Hadoop.
Cloudera invites staff and students to download CDH (or the CDH Demo VM), the world’s most deployed, enterprise-level ready Apache Hadoop distribution, and the free edition of Cloudera Manager, designed to simplify the installation, configuration, and performance analysis of your Hadoop cluster (up to 50 nodes).
CDH is thoroughly tested, 100% open source, and includes over a dozen Apache projects to ensure you have everything needed to utilize Hadoop in production.
You may install and use CDH and Cloudera Manager Free Edition today with no further requirements.
Cloudera will provide professors from participating universities discounts to world-class instruction and free training materials to facilitate the inclusion of Apache Hadoop administration and development topics into their academic portfolio.
Students will benefit from industry leading training materials, hands on exercises, and access to discounted certification exams – providing them with tangible market-recognized credentials in addition to their university degree.
For accredited, non-profit universities that are interested in using the more robust features of Cloudera Manager, we are pleased to offer a special University License valid for 12 months to our academic partners who are engaged in testing, development, and research. In combination with the open-source CDH, the University License will provide universities with the tools needed to take their Big Data research to the next level.
