Oracle Taps Cloudera For Hadoop Distribution Of Big Data Appliance

Oracle has tapped Cloudera, the startup that commercially distributes and services Apache Hadoop based data management software and services, to provide an Apache Hadoop distribution and tools for Oracle's newly announced Big Data Appliance. Hadoop is a Java software framework born out of an open-source implementation of Google?s published computing infrastructure which is fostered within the Apache Software Foundation. Hadoop supports distributed applications running on large clusters of commodity computers processing enormous amounts of data. Cloudera helps distribute Hadoop, and provides practical services around the technology, similar to what Red Hat does for the Linux framework.
