PALO ALTO, Calif. & RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cloudera, the leader in enterprise analytic data management powered by ApacheTM Hadoop®, and Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE:RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced an alliance to deliver joint enterprise software solutions including data integration and application development tools, and data platforms. By integrating a broad range of products and technologies, Cloudera and Red Hat will help customers harness the fast changing big data life cycle with open, secure and agile solutions.
As part of the alliance, the two companies plan to deliver joint solutions to enterprise customers with cooperative documentation, marketing and support.

The combined Cloudera and Red Hat solutions offer an open and agile technology stack for enterprises to modernize their traditional data management architecture and deploy Hadoop as the core of their big data infrastructure. The companies plan to work together on the following initiatives:
- Cloud-ready data platforms to accelerate the transition to the open hybrid cloud with Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and Sahara integrated with Cloudera Director and Cloudera Enterprise, all managed by Red Hat CloudForms.
- Enterprise-ready data platforms that are secure, scalable and easy to manage with the integration of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, OpenJDK support and Red Hat Storage Server with Cloudera Enterprise, Cloudera Manager and Cloudera Navigator.
- Agile data integration and application development tools with Red Hat JBoss Middleware and OpenShift by Red Hat integrated with Cloudera Enterprise that leverages the Cloudera Kite libraries, Cloudera Impala and Apache Hive connectors.
