Kyndryl and Cloudera announced a global partnership to help customers enable and drive their
mission-critical hybrid cloud, multicloud and edge computing data initiatives.
Kyndryl and Cloudera plan to establish a joint innovation center
to develop integrated industry solutions and delivery capabilities designed to
help customers accelerate their move and migration to the cloud platform and
environment of their choice, including Amazon Web Services, Google
Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
The companies will immediately focus on:
- Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) Migrations and Upgrades:
The companies will partner to streamline customer migration and upgrades
by leveraging technology and expertise to help customers overcome barriers
and shorten time to market.
- Managed Services: Kyndryl will
leverage their deep data center modernization and platform management
skills to provide state of the art Managed Service capabilities to
increase reliability and customer satisfaction.
Kyndryl will apply its three decades of experience of advising,
implementing and managing mission critical IT platforms with Cloudera's hybrid
data cloud platform to help companies modernize their data ecosystems and
achieve their digital transformation goals. To expand and solidify their
technical proficiency with Cloudera products, Kyndryl professionals plan to
participate in the CDP certification program.
The companies also plan to focus on delivering large scale
transformation capabilities to customers across multiple industries and
geographies. The firms plan to leverage Kyndryl's data framework, toolkits, and
global team of data management and AI experts alongside Cloudera's data,
analytics and AI capabilities.
"Customers in all industries around the globe are seeking
new ways to unlock insights from their business data in the cloud so they can
become digitally savvy organizations," said Nicolas Sekkaki, Applications,
Data & AI global practice leader for Kyndryl. "We will work with
Cloudera to unleash our respective expertise and enable companies to
realize data and AI transformation in on-prem, public and hybrid cloud
environments, while maximizing the return on their investments in enterprise
data analytics."
"Together with Kyndryl, we are tackling one of the biggest
challenges customers face in their data journey today - complexity,"
said Gary Green, Senior Vice President of
Strategic Partnerships for Cloudera. "It is heavier 'lift' now than it has
ever been for enterprises and their partners to move to the cloud because of increased
regulations, technology considerations and the acceleration of a hybrid,
multi-cloud world. In aligning with Kyndryl, we are excited to continue to
provide end-to-end support to mutual customers as they invest in the business
value of the cloud."
