- Cloudera announced the general availability of the Cloudera Data Science Workbench platform for self-service data analytics using open source technologies and machine learning.

The platform operates directly in the web browser with Python, R, and Scala, giving users the ability to download and experiment with libraries and frameworks in customizable project environments. Cloudera Data Science Workbench is secure and compliant, with support for Hadoop authentication, authorization, encryption, and governance.

"We are entering the golden age of machine learning and it's all about the data. However, data scientists continue to struggle to build and test new analytics projects as fast as they would like, particularly in large scale environments," Cloudera Products Senior Vice President Charles Zedlewski said in a statement. "The Data Science Workbench is a self-service tool that accelerates the ability to build, scale and deploy machine learning solutions.”
