Cloudera, the startup that commercially distributes and services Apache Hadoop based data management software and services, has raised $25 million in a Series C financing led by Meritech Capital Partners with previous investors Accel Partners and Greylock Partners also participating in the round. This brings Cloudera's total funding up to $36 million. Hadoop is a Java software framework born out of an open-source implementation of Google?s published computing infrastructure which is fostered within the Apache Software Foundation. Hadoop supports distributed applications running on large clusters of commodity computers processing enormous amounts of data. Cloudera helps distribute Hadoop, and provides practical services around the technology, similar to what Red Hat does for the Linux framework.
