Cloudera Supercharges Data Lakehouse With Iceberg Upgrades For AI Anywhere

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 26 (Bernama) -- Cloudera has announced updates to its platform, specifically Cloudera Iceberg REST Catalog and Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer, to strengthen its commitment to delivering the best open data lakehouse powered by Iceberg.

Cloudera Chief Product Officer, Leo Brunnick said the company pioneered the Big Data industry and remained a leading platform provider who continues to invest in making the Apache Iceberg open table format enterprise-ready.

“With today’s news, we continue to deliver on the promise of flexibility, scalability, and uncompromised insights when and where you need them the most. That commitment is why the world’s largest organisations rely on Cloudera to bring AI to their data, wherever it lives,” added Brunnick in a statement.

With these updates, Iceberg REST Catalog provides the open interoperability needed to share data seamlessly, while Lakehouse Optimizer will help to ensure data is always optimised and cost-effective for all engines accessing the data, all under Cloudera’s unified governance and security. 

Cloudera is the first and only provider to integrate the Iceberg REST Catalog across a full-lifecycle data and AI platform, enabling secure, zero-copy data sharing and unified governance across any cloud or data centre. 

The company’s new offering solves these challenges by integrating the Iceberg REST Catalog into its platform, allowing third-party engines to access Cloudera-managed data directly and ensuring consistent policy enforcement and metadata intelligence in public clouds, data centres, and the edge.

Meanwhile, the Cloudera Lakehouse Optimizer will deliver automated optimisations and table maintenance for Apache Iceberg within Cloudera's lakehouse, offering advanced, intelligent optimisations that go beyond basic table maintenance, including tasks like rewriting manifest and position delete files.

By intelligently optimising tables, it eliminates the need for manual data management tasks and operational costs, allowing customers to focus on extracting insights from their data.
