Have you ever considered how much data a single person generates in a day? Every web document, scanned document, email, social media post, and media download? One estimate states that “on average, people will produce 463 exabytes of data per day by 2025.” Now consider that the federal government has approximately 2.8 million civilian employees […]
How Agencies Can Gain the Cyber Edge with Smart Data Solutions For the vast majority of US citizens, the front lines of conflict are witnessed from thousands of miles away on the nightly news. But for government agencies, these physical conflicts are the tip of the iceberg as cyberattacks persist as an underlying constant, inflicting […]
Cloudera has been working on Apache Ozone, an open-source project to develop a highly scalable, highly available, strongly consistent distributed object store. Ozone is able to scale to billions of objects and hundreds petabytes of data. It enables cloud-native applications to store and process mass amounts of data in a hybrid multi-cloud environment and on […]
Information technology has been at the heart of governments around the world, enabling them to deliver vital citizen services, such as healthcare, transportation, employment, and national security. All of these functions rest on technology and share a valuable commodity: data. Data is produced and consumed in ever-increasing amounts and therefore must be protected. After all, […]
Apache Ozone is a distributed, scalable, and high-performance object store, available with Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), that can scale to billions of objects of varying sizes. It was designed as a native object store to provide extreme scale, performance, and reliability to handle multiple analytics workloads using either S3 API or the traditional Hadoop API. […]
Data is the fuel that drives government, enables transparency, and powers citizen services. But while state and local governments seek to improve policies, decision making, and the services constituents rely upon, data silos create accessibility and sharing challenges that hinder public sector agencies from transforming their data into a strategic asset and leveraging it for […]

But information broadly, and the management of data specifically, is still “the” critical factor for situational awareness, streamlined operations, and a host of other use cases across today’s tech-driven […]
Fine grained access control (FGAC) with Spark Apache Spark with its rich data APIs has been the processing engine of choice in a wide range of applications from data engineering to machine learning, but its security integration has been a pain point. Many enterprise customers need finer granularity of control, in particular at the column […]
