Hadoop Professional Services
Cloudera can help you install, configure, optimize, tune and run Hadoop for large-scale data processing and analysis.
We support Hadoop whether you run our distribution on servers in your own data center, or on hosted infrastructure services such as Amazon EC2, Rackspace, SoftLayer, or VMware’s vCloud.
