Joint Solution

Cloudera and SoftLayer deliver Hadoop in the cloud, with no compromises

Big Data is a big deal. Organizations looking to utilize Big Data solutions can create their own by selecting, installing, and configuring the hardware and software needed. But many seek for a more ready-to-use solution from the experts to avoid trial-and-error and to save money and time.

To meet this demand, many providers are using multi-tenant options to lower the cost. SoftLayer and Cloudera have partnered to bring a turnkey, cloud-based Big Data solution with Cloudera pre-installed and pre-configured, focusing on single tenant, high performance architecture.
