Let&#8217;s have a look over the terms of transaction agreement of the Cloudera Hortonworks merger:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Establishment of the future data platform leader with the increased resources and scale in order to deliver the first enterprise data cloud of the industry. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Building new industry standards and a unified platform from the partners, customers, community and AI.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Enhancing market development and bringing innovation in IoT, data warehouse, streaming, machine learning, hybrid cloud, and AI.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Expansion of the opportunities in the market with some extra offerings such as Cloudera Data Science Workbench and Hortonworks DataFlow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Enhancement of partnerships with the system integrators and public cloud vendors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">The expectation to generate the financial benefits and increased margin such as &#8211;\u00a0<\/span>$720 million increase in revenue, 2,500+ customers, 800+ customers over $100,000 ARR, 120+ customers over $1 million ARR, $125 million in annual cost synergies, $150 million cash flow in CY20, Over $500 million cash, and No debt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Big Data has brought an innovation in this world that is continuously generating data, and thus these Big Data distributors and the vendors. Choosing a Big Data career has become a craze now. But if you want to have growth in your career as a big data professional, it is important to explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/blog\/best-big-data-careers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">best big data careers <\/a>available in 2018.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">The Reason behind the Merger of Cloudera and Hortonworks<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Now, let\u2019s check some of the pivotal reasons for this merger and the way this merger may influence big data analytic principles.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Here\u2019s what could be behind this Cloudera-Hortonworks merger decision\u2026<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Hadoop, the open source framework was one of the favorite tools among big data analytics companies to effectively store data for analytics. The term Hadoop itself was synonymous with Big Data.\u00a0Over the years, public cloud platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc. gained more popularity due to their on-premises cloud infrastructure. Most of these platforms came with fully integrated Hadoop\/Spark services which are much cheaper to scale than Hadoop distributions like Cloudera. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to that, public cloud services introduced better file systems that can eliminate high storage costs required for a Hadoop storage. Most importantly, new services like BigQuery\u00a0came into play that can totally dismiss the need for Hadoop or Spark software. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It resulted in a significant fall in the market share of these distributors which is expected to be the reason of the merger of these distributors i.e. Cloudera and Hortonworks.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThis compelling merger will create value for our respective stockholders and allow customers, partners, employees and the open source community to benefit from the enhanced offerings, larger scale and improved cost competitiveness inherent in this combination,\u201d said Rob Bearden, the CEO of Hortonworks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Impact of the Merger of these Big Data Distributors on Big Data Industry<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">Certainly, this merge of these Big Data distributors can make a huge impact on the Big Data industry while competing against public cloud platforms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">This merger can create a win-win situation to Cloudera customers, partners and vendors themselves in several ways. Customers will have access to a unified big data platform that offers end to end support and more product features powered by ML\/AI technologies. For partners, it offers solutions that provide reduced cost and effort for integrations and migrations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">And, the Cloudera-Hortonworks merger itself devises a quick growing path to compete against traditional cloud vendors. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">It can accelerate the pace of customer adoption and partner engagement. It will bring innovations in the fields of the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Hybrid Cloud, Data Warehouses, and many others. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Moreover, the merger of Cloudera and Hortonworks will bring solid partnerships with systems integrators and public cloud vendors.\u00a0<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top Big Data vendors, Cloudera and Hortonworks have announced the merger.
