Cloudera with Nutanix

Running Cloudera Enterprise on Nutanix allows you to manage multiple petabytes in a single HDFS namespace, while maintaining separate failure domains. This reference architecture shows the scalability of the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform and provides detailed recommendations for the design, optimization, and scaling of Cloudera Enterprise 5.x (CDH 5.x) deployments on Nutanix.

Now a Cloudera Certified Technology, Nutanix simulated real-world workloads and conditions for a Cloudera Hadoop environment on AHV and ESXi with rack awareness. We based the sizing data and recommendations made in this document on multiple testing iterations and thorough technical validation.
