Cloudera today unveiled two key enhancements to its metadata management solutions. These updates boost open interoperability within the open data lakehouse and address increasing demands for security and governance across the entire data lifecycle.
As part of its metadata management solution offerings, Cloudera delivers an end-to-end open data lakehouse with open standards that can integrate and interoperate in any ecosystem. The latest updates to support this commitment to modern data architectures include Cloudera’s new Iceberg REST Catalog integration that allows seamless access to Apache Iceberg tables using third-party engines; and Cloudera’s Shared Data Experience (SDX) that is now in technical preview as a cloud-native, containerized experience that provides end-to-end unified data security, governance, and metadata management.

In addition to safeguarding data with security and lineage throughout its lifecycle, Cloudera’s latest updates enable enterprises to boost performance, scalability, and resiliency while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) by optimizing metadata management. The expansion also facilitates metadata sharing without creating copies, enabling innovation with third-party tools without vendor lock-in.

There is no moat bigger than your corporate data. Considering this, organizations are asking for a unified way to access and govern every data asset – structured and unstructured, in every location – on-prem and multi cloud, and at every velocity – batch or streaming. Data leaders want a consistent view of data by leveraging open table formats and applying a consistent set of policies regardless of where the content resides. This is possible through an enhanced data catalog that incorporates formats like Iceberg REST APIs and enables fine-grained access control.
