We’re excited to announce the acquisition of Octopai, a number one knowledge lineage and catalog platform that gives knowledge discovery and governance for enterprises to reinforce their data-driven resolution making. Cloudera’s mission since its inception has been to empower organizations to rework all their knowledge to ship trusted, invaluable, and predictive insights. With AI and generative AI powering the subsequent wave of enterprise functions, the actual aggressive edge lies in amassing huge quantities of information and deeply understanding and leveraging it for enterprise worth. Cloudera, along with Octopai, will make it simpler for organizations to higher perceive, entry, and leverage all their knowledge of their complete knowledge property – together with knowledge exterior of Cloudera – to energy essentially the most sturdy knowledge, analytics and AI functions. This acquisition delivers entry to trusted knowledge so organizations can construct dependable AI fashions and functions by combining knowledge from anyplace of their surroundings.
Propel AI and analytic success with higher knowledge discovery and knowledge cataloging
As organizations gather an unlimited and various array of information sources, they face vital challenges in reaching a complete understanding of their knowledge. This consists of having full visibility into the origin of the info, the transformations it underwent, its relationships, and the context that was added or stripped away from that knowledge because it moved all through the enterprise. In at this time’s heterogeneous knowledge ecosystems, integrating and analyzing knowledge from a number of sources presents a number of obstacles: knowledge typically exists in varied codecs, with inconsistencies in definitions, buildings, and high quality requirements. Moreover, a number of copies of the identical knowledge locked in proprietary programs contribute to model management points, redundancies, staleness, and administration complications. This dampens confidence within the knowledge and hampers entry, in flip impacting the pace to launch new AI and analytic tasks.
Based in 2016, Octopai affords automated options for knowledge lineage, knowledge discovery, knowledge catalog, mapping, and impression evaluation throughout advanced knowledge environments. Combining Octopai capabilities with Cloudera’s AI powered hybrid knowledge platform offers deeper knowledge understanding, enhanced safety, and sturdy knowledge governance – important for driving AI and analytics success. The mixed platform will combine knowledge – from wherever it originates and wherever it is saved (cloud or on prem) – to ship real-time insights required for quicker resolution making and predictive generative AI functions for personalised buyer experiences. By including the Octopai platform, Cloudera prospects will profit from:
Enhanced Knowledge Discovery: Octopai’s automated knowledge discovery permits instantaneous search and placement of desired knowledge throughout a number of programs. It leverages information graphs to maintain observe of all the info sources and knowledge flows, utilizing AI to fill the gaps so you will have essentially the most complete metadata administration answer.
Knowledge Belief and High quality: Octopai’s multi-layered knowledge lineage answer offers essentially the most full, in-depth, and reliable automated lineage so knowledge customers can at all times belief the info and the insights generated from it. The top-to-end lineage additionally automates duties resembling predicting the impression of a course of change, analyzing the impression of a damaged course of, discovering parallel processes performing the identical duties, and performing root trigger evaluation to uncover the supply of reporting errors. This ensures knowledge high quality and automates the laborious, handbook processes required to keep up knowledge reliability.
Sturdy Knowledge Catalog: Organizations can create company-wide consistency with a self-creating, self-updating knowledge catalog. This automated knowledge catalog at all times offers up-to-date stock of belongings that by no means get stale. Octopai’s 50+ connectors make it simple to seize the metadata from totally different knowledge sources and keep the catalog robotically so customers at all times know what knowledge is obtainable, the place it may be discovered, what it represents, and who’s accountable for it.
AI Co-pilot: The co-pilot empowers knowledge groups with a real-time, unified workspace that automates, optimizes, and interprets scripts whereas offering quick insights into knowledge lineage. It permits customers to mitigate dangers, enhance effectivity, and make knowledge technique extra actionable than ever earlier than.
The trail ahead with knowledge governance and metadata administration
With this acquisition, Cloudera bolsters its wealthy metadata administration with Octopai’s market main knowledge discovery and knowledge lineage capabilities, enabling prospects to grasp and belief their knowledge throughout not simply the Cloudera platform however your entire enterprise ecosystem. Collectively, Cloudera and Octopai will assist reinvent how prospects handle their metadata and observe lineage throughout all their knowledge sources. This may also speed up deployment of latest knowledge merchandise for AI, gen AI, and analytics functions. It’ll enhance the invention of the info merchandise and make sure the usability and constant supply of those knowledge merchandise, offering important parts of an information mesh structure for self-service decentralized entry to knowledge.
