Can host multiple technologies and help businesses with their AI initiatives
The ease or difficulty in setting up the product depends on the environment of the customer where the tool is deployed. If a banking, industrial, or retail sector firm is taken into concentration, depending on how big of a database is maintained, including the applications that are to be hosted, the deployment process can range from a simple to a very complex phase, depending on the architecture. For Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop, one has to go through the usual deployment process, like for any software product. You have to have different environments before going into production, like pre-production environments, test and dev environments. You install and configure all the components in the test environment and then test them on the pre-production environment. Once UAT is done, you move them to the production environment. In general, it's a critical product deployed in a company.
