Cloudera and Trillium Software recently announced a collaboration whereby the Trillium Big Data solution is certified for Cloudera’s Hadoop distribution. As a result of the partnership, Cloudera customers can take advantage of Trillium’s data quality solutions to profile, cleanse, de-duplicate and enrich Hadoop-based data. Trillium responds to a problem in the Big Data industry wherein the customer focus on deployment and management of Hadoop-based data repositories eclipses concerns about data quality. In the case of Hadoop-based data, data quality solutions predictably face challenges associated with the sheer volume of data that requires cleansing or quality improvements. Trillium’s Big Data Solution for data quality cleanses data natively within Hadoop because identifying data with data quality issues and then transporting it to another infrastructure becomes costly and complex. The collaboration between Trillium Software and Cloudera illustrates the relevance of data quality solutions for Hadoop despite the increased attention currently devoted to Big Data analytics and data visualization solutions. As such, Trillium fills a critical niche within the Big Data processing space and its alliance with Cloudera positions it strongly to consolidate its early traction within the space of solutions dedicated to data quality in the Big Data space.
