Cloudera has also introduced new AI assistants to help data scientists, data engineers, and developers increase productivity and streamline data workflows.

Data platform giant Cloudera has struck a deal to acquire data lineage and data catalog technology developed by Israel-based octopi To extend Cloudera’s data catalog and metadata management capabilities for data analytics and AI functions.
The acquisition comes as businesses and organizations are looking for ways to use their data for AI, machine learning and predictive analytics initiatives – a move that requires finding and managing all the relevant, relevant and reliable data. Is required.
Managing metadata automatically to provide a unified view of data has become more complex as data increasingly spreads across distributed data architectures, including hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Data security and governance have also become more complex.

“When using data to make business-critical decisions, enterprises cannot afford blind spots or inaccuracies, and they must surely slow progress from identifying reliable data,” Cloudera CEO Charles Sainsbury said in a statement. This should not be allowed to happen.”
“Our customers need to automatically discover data across multiple repositories, show deep lineage of assets both within and outside the Cloudera estate, and leverage a robust data catalog to identify data assets that can be consumed . The acquisition of Octopi’s platform enhances Cloudera’s data, analytics and AI platform, enabling customers to gain greater visibility of their data regardless of their data management provider,” Sainsbury said.
