“We are transforming enterprise data and analytics in the cloud by using intelligence and automation”: Cazena

“We are leading a new category of cloud platforms, inspired by our customer advisors and founders' experiences developing the legendary Netezza data warehouse appliance”

RADICALLY SIMPLIFY DATA AND ANALYTICS IN THE CLOUD

Companies demand more from data and analytics, but lack the infrastructure, people and resources they need to deliver meaningful results. At the same time, many want to take advantage of diverse new data sources, as well as leverage the latest analytics, open source and cloud technologies. Now there's a solution. 

Cazena makes it easy to access data and analytics the cloud in just a few clicks, automating an otherwise long and difficult process. Cazena bundles cloud databases, analytics engines, data movers, security and a variety of tools in the first fully-managed Big Data Platform as a Service, available on Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Instead of learning and managing many different technologies, companies use Cazena to collect, store and analyze data.

The platform combines best-of-breed software with automation, open source, custom components, security and additional services. That makes Cazena the fastest path to production-grade cloud deployments on Microsoft Azure and AWS of: Cloudera EDH for Spark, Hadoop and Impala workloads; AWS Redshift and MPP SQL databases (Greenplum, etc); and, RStudio Server Pro.  

 The Cazena Difference

• Fast deployments, secure cloud environments ready in hours, with complete datacenter-connected deployments in 4 weeks or less. Cazena gives you everything you need in one service, with one bill and one number to call for support.
• Simple,with only “three clicks” required to move, store and analyze data in the cloud. Easily connect to data in Cazena with any analytics or business intelligence tools (Tableau, Qlik, etc.).
• Cost-effective, using automation and intelligence to collapse complex tasks into a few easy clicks in a browser, and automatically optimizing to deliver the best price-performance. Everything is included in one subscription, with predictable pricing for expansion.

It is the Cazena team, customers and partners that perhaps make the biggest difference.  Cazena is transforming enterprise data and analytics in the cloud by using intelligence and automation.

We use intelligent provisioning and multiple processing engines to recommend and automatically configure the best database solution for your workload. Cazena does this with Workload Intelligence, which includes regularly benchmarking the performance of many different databases across many different cloud infrastructure configurations. When you give us your price-performance requirements, you can be confident that we’ve analyzed all the options to deliver the most cost-effective solution.

Depending on your workload, Cazena may recommend a solution based on Cloudera EDH (Spark, Hadoop, Impala and related ecosystem components) or suggest optimized MPP SQL databases such as Amazon Redshift and Pivotal Greenplum. We work closely with our tech partners to optimize their databases for best performance on Microsoft Azure or AWS, and we support them seamlessly.
