Cloudera announced the
successful completion of the Quality Assurance Test Suite (QATS)
certification of Dell EMC PowerScale/Isilon 8.2.2 on
Cloudera Data Platform Private Cloud.
Customers leveraging Dell EMC PowerScale with Cloudera Data Hub or
Hortonworks Data Platform will now benefit from expanded support in
migrating to Cloudera Data Platform, the industry's first enterprise

According to IDC,
organizations should consider preparing to store more data now, as they
seek to achieve digital transformation milestones and improve business
metrics by accelerating innovative data analytics initiatives.
This
certification keeps pace with the top trends helping businesses stay
agile and close to their data, including: the decoupling of storage and
compute, the rapid adoption of virtualized and containerized
deployments, and the rising popularity of object stores as the
underlying storage layer. Cloudera Data Platform on Dell EMC PowerScale
helps businesses incorporate shared storage configurations best suited
for flexibility, scalability, cost efficiency and anytime, anywhere data
access.
"In
response to rapid accumulation of data, companies are separating
compute and storage to optimize scalability and better harness data
insights," said Gary Green, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships,
Cloudera. "The validation and certification of Dell EMC PowerScale on
enterprise data cloud helps companies do more with their data, providing
storage solutions designed to facilitate the agility and scalability
needed to operate in any environment."
