Cloudera’s Industry Leading Training Courses Now Available On Demand

SINGAPORE – October 12, 2016 – Cloudera, the global
provider of the fastest, easiest, and most secure data management and analytics
platform built on Apache Hadoop and the latest open source technologies, today
announced Cloudera OnDemand, a catalogue of
online, self-paced training classes covering Cloudera’s entire portfolio of
industry-standard Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark training courses, allowing
individuals to learn about the latest big data technologies in a searchable
environment anytime, anywhere. Cloudera OnDemand allows users to learn
Hadoop at their own pace and without the need to travel or take multiple days
off to participate in live training events.

Cloudera OnDemand is the company’s eLearning platform that
combines recorded lectures from Cloudera senior instructors with hands-on
exercises completed in a cloud-based lab environment. Whether you’re an individual looking to expand your hands-on
knowledge of Hadoop, or a company in need of training teams of developers,
administrators, analysts, and prospective data scientists, Cloudera is making
access to materials and tools seamless.

“With Cloudera OnDemand, we’ve made our
training courses more accessible to our customers, as well as organizations
thinking about deploying a big data solution,” said Mark Morrissey, senior
director, Education Programs at Cloudera. “With
our cloud-based lab environment, students don’t need to worry about onerous
hardware requirements, they simply need access to the web to start learning
immediately. This is going to dramatically change the requirements of big data
training and allow many more developers to flourish in a big data environment.”

In a December 2015 article, CIO Magazine
covered the lack of technical skills business challenge. “Two-thirds of
companies that possess even the most advanced analytics capabilities cannot
hire enough people who can generate insights from corporate data, according to
new research from A.T. Kearney, which surveyed 430 senior executives. Moreover,
companies will need 33 percent more big data talent over the next five years
[per] Khalid Khan, A.T. Kearney partner and co-author of the research.”

Open source platforms like Cloudera Enterprise
have become the de-facto standard for driving business transformation
across the value chain, from compliance and cost reduction to customer intimacy
and competitive advantage. However, global organizations still face a skills gap – a lack of trained data professionals. Cloudera’s
commitment to solving this skills gap is evidenced by its strong focus on
education, a consistently expanding curriculum based on needs and interest, and
their work with governments and universities around the world driving active involvement in open source software
communities.

For companies with teams of users, Cloudera
OnDemand presents an ideal setting for collaborative learning. Within
Cloudera’s training platform, students can interact with individuals from
around the world allowing for more detailed discussion, archived answers to
potential questions, and the opportunity to learn about different use cases.
Customers that wish to keep their conversations internal, have the option to
create private groups.

Cloudera’s OnDemand offering can be purchased
as a library where individuals receive access to Cloudera’s entire suite of
training content for twelve months, or by individual course title available in
six-month subscriptions. All new courses developed during the subscription
period are included with library subscriptions, as well as any updates to courses.

Among the courses being made available on
demand are Developer Training For Spark and Hadoop, Cloudera Administrator
Training, and Data Analyst Training. For more information on Cloudera OnDemand
