Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Tech Data Advanced Solutions announced their partnership today with Big Data company Cloudera to enhance their portfolio in the market place. The event which was held at One World Hotel drew a packed room from Tech Data partners and interested parties. Present for the partnership launch was Chiew Yue Lam of Tech Data and Geoff Soon of Cloudera.

Yue Lam shared Tech Data’s humble beginnings in 1996 and was proud to still be part of the company after so many years. Geoff also shared how Cloudera started and the famous story of how Hadoop got its name from an elephant toy.

According to Yue Lam, with this partnership, Tech Data hope to bring an end-to-end solution to the market place. From data center to the living room. For now he says they are not yet able to enter the living room space but it is in the pipeline.

Geoff spoke confidently about their partnership too. He shared statistics that showed a large number of companies who are yet to use Big Data analytics for their business solutions and said that the market place for Cloudera and Tech Data is really big in Asia. To show their confidence in the market, they have increased their man power from only 6 people to almost 60 with a new office in Singapore.
