Cloudera Base on premises lays the foundation for your modern data and analytics platform by delivering faster analytics, improving your hardware utilization, and increasing your storage density. Strengthened platform security and simplified governance help you maintain regulatory compliance and manage enterprise readiness.

Cloudera Base on premises supports a variety of hybrid solutions where you separate compute tasks from data storage and access data from remote clusters, including workloads that you create using Cloudera Data Services on premises. This hybrid model establishes a foundation for your containerized applications by managing storage, table schema, authentication, authorization, and governance.

Cloudera Base on premises consists of a variety of components from which you can select any combination of services to build clusters that meet your specific business requirements and workloads. You can also select from several preconfigured service packages for common workloads.
