GoGrid, a leading cloud infrastructure company, announced last week that it has partnered with Cloudera, the leading provider of Apache Hadoop-based data management software and services, as a member of its Cloudera Connect Partner Program. The program, designed to propagate the innovative use of Apache Hadoop for a range of business applications, represents the industry’s most comprehensive ecosystem of technology solutions vendors, value added resellers (VARs), and managed service providers (MSPs) offering Hadoop-based solutions and services.

The Cloudera Enterprise cluster contains a 60-day Trial of Cloudera Enterprise. The Tableau and Zoomdata clusters function as demos, with data already pre-loaded.
