Building on a long-standing relationship with Hortonworks, IBM teams with Cloudera
to align joint solutions
Armonk, NY - 21 June 2019: IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Cloudera (NYSE: CLDR) today announced a strategic partnership to develop joint go-to-market programs designed to bring advanced data and AI solutions to more organizations across the expansive Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
The agreement builds on the long-standing relationship between IBM and Hortonworks, which merged with Cloudera in January, 2019, and created integrated solutions for data science and data management. The new agreement builds on these integrated solutions and extends them to include the Cloudera platform.
As part of the partnership, IBM will resell the Cloudera Enterprise Data Hub, Cloudera DataFlow and Cloudera Data Science Workbench. In addition, Cloudera will begin to resell IBM's Watson Studio and BigSQL.
“By teaming more strategically with IBM we can accelerate data-driven decision making for our joint enterprise customers who want a hybrid and multi-cloud data management solution with common security and governance,” said Scott Andress, Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances, Cloudera. “We are pleased to have expanded our relationship with IBM, and I am very encouraged by the momentum that our companies have continued to generate together since the merger.”
