Hadoop Professional Services

Use Case Discovery
Cloudera can help you to identify target use cases and determine if Hadoop is a good fit for your organization. Cloudera’s Use Case Discovery offering involves in-depth interviews with the business teams that you select in order to understand their requirements and showcase the potential impact of Hadoop on your business.

Cloudera delivers detailed documentation, including descriptions of the business teams’ goals, specifications for each data source, timeliness of data and your various data formats. Cloudera also constructs a plan for piloting each use case and describes the required cluster configuration, points of integration and corresponding processes.

New Hadoop Deployment
Deploying a new Hadoop cluster requires configuring it to enterprise-grade standards and preparing it for production. Cloudera can help with our New Hadoop Deployment service offering, specifically designed for setting up a high performance, tuned and tested Hadoop cluster that is ready for production.

Having deployed dozens of clusters ranging from tens to thousands of nodes, Cloudera’s Solutions Architects are experienced at configuring complex network architectures and working with leading industry standard systems. Cloudera’s deployment offering includes full documentation of requirements, configurations, benchmarking and process to maintain and operate the cluster.

Proof of Concept
An initial Hadoop proof of concept requires proper scope, cluster setup and deep knowledge of the Hadoop ecosystem. Cloudera’s Proof of Concept offering includes end-to-end execution of a Hadoop PoC: installation of CDH, the leading distribution including Apache Hadoop, a one-time data load for the PoC and development of a prototype data pipeline.

Our Solutions Architects will establish benchmarks and fine-tune your cluster to prove the prototype functionality and overall feasibility of your project. Cloudera delivers complete documentation of the process and results.

Production Pilot
Cloudera’s expert guidance can help you deploy a production pilot project using Hadoop. Starting with your Hadoop cluster and use cases, Cloudera provides a fully-documented and production-ready system that includes ongoing data capture, a data pipeline framework with a developed and deployed example process along with a benchmarked and tuned production pilot cluster. Cloudera delivers full documentation of the process and detailed procedures for ongoing cluster maintenance and operations.

Process and Team Development
Establishing a new Hadoop team means bringing together a diverse set of expertise, defining a new process for collecting disparate data sets and providing enriched data products to the business. Cloudera has experience working with Fortune 500 companies across industries including Financial Services, Telecommunications, Rich Media, E-Commerce, Retail, Online Gaming, Social Networks and Advertising Networks.

Cloudera can provide hands-on assistance in identifying the appropriate skill set and necessary training to quickly form a team and follow a proven process for Hadoop development and operations. In addition to on-site assistance, Cloudera delivers full documentation describing the team structure and process.

Hadoop Deployment Certification
Existing Hadoop deployments undergo changes in data loads, user requirements, hardware and configuration updates during their lifetimes. A periodic health check can improve performance on a cluster that has grown organically. Cloudera offers services to certify and tune up an existing cluster.

Cloudera’s Solutions Architects can analyze your entire Hadoop deployment, from data sources through pipelines and targets to determine an ideal configuration. Cloudera will recommend and implement approved changes to your systems and document all changes and good processes for maintenance.

HBase Deployment Certification
HBase depends on a number of services and requires good design and configuration to deliver on the promise of scalable realtime random access. Cloudera’s deployment offering includes comprehensive design and assessment of HBase schema, configurations and interactions with underlying services include HDFS and Zookeeper. Cloudera’s Solutions Architects will also analyze your HBase data loading, data service and data process when used in concert with MapReduce or other analytic workloads. Cloudera will recommend and implement approved changes to your systems and document all changes and good processes for maintenance.
