We believe data can make what is impossible today, possible tomorrow: Cloudera

The use of Big Data is becoming a crucial way for leading companies to outperform their peers. In most industries, established competitors and new entrants alike will leverage data-driven strategies to innovate, compete, and capture value. In healthcare, data pioneers are analyzing the health outcomes of pharmaceuticals when they were widely prescribed, and discovering benefits and risks that were not evident during necessarily more limited clinical trials. Other early adopters of Big Data are using data from sensors embedded in products from children’s toys to industrial goods to determine how these products are actually used in the real world. Such knowledge then informs the creation of new service offerings and the design of future products.

Cloudera was established in 2008 by top tech companies in Silicon Valley, including Google (Christophe Bisciglia), Yahoo! (Amr Awadallah), Oracle (Mike Olson), and Facebook (Jeff Hammerbacher). Cloudera founders believe that open source, open standards, and open markets are best. This belief is crucial to the firm’s values.

Doug Cutting, co-creator of Hadoop joined the company in 2009 as Chief Architect and remains to be in the same post. At present, the company has over 1,600 employees and established offices in 24 countries with its headquarters in Palo Alto, California.

Cloudera’s CSR activities

Since the firm’s inception, Cloudera donated more than 4,000 employee hours and has partnered with more than 20 not-for-profit organizations globally. Many not-for-profits strive to be data driven, but lack the resources to implement and drive these programs. Cloudera Cares is committed to helping bridge these gaps for not-for-profits, from both a data and people standpoint. In 2014, Cloudera Cares partnered with DataKind, to help enable not-for-profits to drive their own data strategies and implementations of advanced analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

Cloudera Cares continued the data-driven theme with Thorn, who built their Spotlight tool on Cloudera software. In 2016, Thorn’s Impact Report noted that 6,000-plus sexual trafficking victims were identified, of which 2,000-plus were children, through the use of Spotlight. Cloudera Cares and Thorn expanded the partnership in 2016 to include Cloudera’s Enterprise Data Hub and professional services hours.

Cloudera’s most recent joint partnership, announced in 2017, is with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Intel. The company is running a hackathon series with the quest to bring children home.

Philanthropy

Since the company’s inception in early 2014, Cloudera Cares has partnered with DataKind and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Along with partnerships with these organizations, every offices of Cloudera will organize events supporting local charities. Cloudera Cares also contributes to the community via hosting and sponsoring hackathons that support Data-For-Good movement.
