Cloudera and Dell partner to deliver complete Apache Hadoop solution

PARTNER SOLUTION BRIEF
Cloudera and Dell partner to deliver
complete Apache Hadoop solution
The Dell | Cloudera solution for Apache Hadoop can reduce the
complexity of deploying, configuring, and managing Hadoop systems
Hadoop design considerations are new to many users and not common knowledge. To
address this, Dell has worked with Cloudera to develop a series of best practices and
architectural considerations to use when designing and implementing Hadoop solutions.
The Dell | Cloudera Solution for Apache Hadoop has been engineered and certified to
work together and provide known performance parameters and deployment methods –
ensuring that users get maximum performance with minimal testing prior to purchase and
minimal risk with solution deployment.
The Dell | Cloudera solution for Apache Hadoop combines Dell servers
and networking components with CDH, as well as management tools,
training, support and professional services, to deliver a single source for
deploying, managing, and scaling a comprehensive Apache Hadoopbased stack
The Dell | Cloudera Solution for Apache Hadoop is comprised of Cloudera’s Distribution
including Apache Hadoop (CDH), on optimized Dell PowerEdge C2100 servers, delivered
with joint service and support.
The solution includes Dell PowerEdge C servers to provide a low-cost, easily-managed
and easily-maintained platform. The PowerEdge C series is a high performance data
analytics, cloud compute platform and cloud storage server line-up. Feature- and poweroptimized to provide lower total cost of ownership in addition to saving on space and
energy, it is an ideal platform for Hadoop.
The solution leverages Dell’s popular Crowbar software, which Dell has released to the
community as open source. Crowbar manages the Apache Hadoop deployment from the
initial server boot to the configuration of the primary Apache Hadoop components
allowing users to complete bare metal deployment of multi-node Hadoop environments in
a matter of hours, as opposed to days. Once the initial deployment is complete, Crowbar
can be used to maintain, expand, and architect a complete data analytics solution,
including BIOS configuration, network discovery, status monitoring, performance data
gathering, and alerting.
It also includes a reference architecture and deployment guide, so you can assemble it
yourself, or Dell can build and deploy the solution for you, including rack and stack, and
deliver it to your dock.
