Cloudera’s distribution for Hadoop (CDH) is being used by Rapleaf for data storage and analysis. Rapleaf, an information company that needed a platform able to quickly process large amounts of data, found what it was looking for in CDH. Easy to install and integrate, CDH is based on Apache Hadoop plus eight other open-source projects.

“Rapleaf is an example of how organizations are leveraging massive data to create valuable insights. We pride ourselves on enabling organizations to easily expand data storage and analysis capabilities to meet new and emerging business needs,” says Cloudera.
