Cloudera Object Store

Scale to billions of objects with full S3 compatibility and a lower TCO with the modern object store for analytics and AI, powered by Apache Ozone.

The modern storage foundation for analytics and AI.

Modernize beyond HDFS: Scale to billions of objects and support 5x denser storage nodes to dramatically lower your TCO.

Unify all workloads: Run S3-native AI and cloud applications alongside your existing Spark and Hive analytic jobs on one platform.

Improve resilience and efficiency: Cut storage overhead by 50% with erasure coding and ensure high availability with a modern architecture.

Key features

Massive object scalabilityDual S3 & Hadoop APIsHigh-density node support Efficient erasure codingSimplified high availability Instantaneous snapshots

Breaks the 400-million-file limit of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Natively scales to 10-billion objects and beyond, solving the "small files problem" for good.

Provides a native S3 API for modern AI/ML workloads (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and a Hadoop-compatible file system for existing analytics (Spark, Hive).

Move from 100TB HDFS nodes to 500TB+ nodes. This 5x density drastically reduces your data center footprint, power, and cooling costs.

Replace 3x data replication with efficient erasure coding (e.g., RS 6+3), cutting your storage overhead by 50% or more while maintaining data durability.

Features an Active-Active architecture for metadata, eliminating the HDFS NameNode bottleneck and enabling much faster cluster restarts and recovery.

Create instantaneous, bucket-level snapshots for point-in-time backup, disaster recovery, and compliance with no performance impact.
