CLOUDERA INTEGRATION · BUILT FOR EVERYTHING ELSE

Cloudera integration that reaches the systems other tools can't.

Q: How does Rayven connect CDP to ERP + databases?

Rayven connects on-premise and cloud [ERP](/solutions/data-integration-platform/erp-integrations) and [databases](/solutions/data-integration-platform/databases-integration) via CDC and API through the [integration layer](/platform#integration), landing them in CDP Iceberg tables alongside OT and IoT data under one governance model.

Connect Cloudera Data Platform to your OT, IoT, apps + operational systems in real-time. Stream live data into your hybrid on-prem or cloud lakehouse, and make lake data and AI actionable back in the operation.

THE REALITY

Cloudera is brilliant at what it does. Useless at everything else your data + AI needs to touch.

Operational data reaches CDP through hand-built NiFi flows and batch jobs, real-time machine data lands late in the regulated environments where governance matters most, and Cloudera ML models rarely reach the plant where the decision is made.

The integration tool you've already tried probably can't fix it.

What Zapier + iPaaS reach

App-to-app. Useful, until it isn't.

Connectors for Cloudera, Slack + a thousand other cloud apps. Cheap + fast for the easy half of integration. Where they hit a wall:

OT + IoT sources - SCADA, historians and PLCs - whose real-time data needs NiFi or Kafka ingestion into CDP
ERP, MES and operational apps that hold the business context for regulated analytics
Edge and plant sites in hybrid estates streaming telemetry into on-prem or cloud CDP
Operational systems and agents that should act on Cloudera ML predictions, not just SDX-governed reports

What Rayven reaches

OT, IoT, apps, streaming + AI. One platform.

The integration platform built for what other tools can't (or won't) reach - plus an AI data fabric, MCP server + app builder layered on top.

Cloudera + every OT, IoT and streaming data source
OT/IoT, databases, streaming, files, ERP + custom-built connectors.
Files, legacy SQL, FTP + custom-built connectors
Real-time bidirectional sync, tier-aware + rate-limit-safe
AI Data Fabric, MCP, automation + custom apps included

5 examples of what Rayven customers run on Cloudera + integrated systems. Built in weeks, not months.

OT, IoT + Kafka → CDP (Iceberg)

Real-time OT data lands governed in CDP

Rayven streams SCADA, historian and PLC data into CDP Iceberg tables via OPC-UA, MQTT and Kafka, with SDX governance applied. Machine data lands in real-time under the same security policy as the rest of the lakehouse.

Top 5 accounts trending toward churn?

5 flagged. Usage drop + support backlog + late renewal. Owners notified.

ERP + MES → CDP

Business context joins the lakehouse

Orders, assets and master data from ERP and MES flow into CDP so Impala and Spark read machine data with its business context, not stripped of it.

Which won deals are stuck pre-invoice?

3 stuck. 2 drafts in accounting, 1 awaiting PO. Auto-finalise?

CDP → Operations + AI agents

Cloudera ML predictions act live

Predictions from Cloudera Machine Learning on CDP push back to alerts, work orders and AI agents via Rayven MCP, so lakehouse intelligence reaches the plant floor.

Status check - is everything in sync?

All current. Last sync 38 seconds ago, no backlog.

Edge + plant sites → Hybrid CDP

Hybrid ingestion, on-prem or cloud

Plant and edge sites stream telemetry into CDP Private Cloud on-premise or CDP Public Cloud, so regulated and sovereign estates land operational data without leaving their boundary.

Anything that needs my attention right now?

3 items. 1 deal stuck, 1 account flagged, 1 task overdue.

Impala + Hive consumers stay current

Governed Iceberg tables serve Impala, Hive and Spark consumers consistently, so every regulated report and model reads the same current operational data.

BEYOND INTEGRATION

Integration is the start with Rayven.
Here's what comes with it.

Rayven isn't just a Cloudera connector. It's the operational software platform underneath - so once Cloudera is connected, four more capabilities come online by default.

AI-ready data layer (AI Data Fabric)

Cloudera data joined with ERP, IoT + legacy - contextualised, unified and structured so AI models, agents and tools can use it without ETL prep work.
Learn more →

Live AI access (Rayven MCP)

Claude, ChatGPT + Gemini get live, governed access to Cloudera and every other connected system. Your AI stops guessing - cites real Cloudera records + numbers.
Learn more →

Automation + AI agents

Workflows + AI agents act on Cloudera data without human intervention - escalate at-risk accounts, trigger operational work, auto-update forecasts, draft customer comms.
Learn more →

Custom apps + portals

Unified customer portals, ops dashboards, mobile field apps, partner portals - built on top of integrated Cloudera data. No separate BI tool, no separate dev stack.
Learn more →

All on top of your existing stack. No rip + replace. Cloudera stays Cloudera. Rayven works on what you've already built. Specifically tuned for hybrid on-prem and cloud OT ingestion into CDP Iceberg with SDX governance preserved.

What is Cloudera Data Platform integration?

Cloudera Data Platform integration connects CDP to the real-time operational systems that feed it - OT, IoT, ERP and edge sources - so live data lands SDX-governed and lake insights act back in operations. Rayven delivers this as an AI data fabric, not a single-purpose connector, and is not a lakehouse itself.

Does Rayven replace Cloudera Data Platform?

No. Rayven does not replace CDP and is not a data lake or lakehouse. Rayven is the real-time AI data fabric that sits alongside CDP - streaming operational data into its Iceberg tables, and activating lakehouse data and AI in operations. CDP stays your governed lakehouse; Rayven feeds and activates it.

Can Rayven land OT data in on-premise CDP Private Cloud?

Yes. Rayven ingests OT via OPC-UA, MQTT and Modbus and streams it into CDP Private Cloud on-premise or CDP Public Cloud through NiFi and Kafka, with SDX governance intact. Sovereign, edge and hybrid deployment is supported. See the Rayven Platform.

How does Rayven connect CDP to ERP + databases?

Rayven connects on-premise and cloud ERP and databases via CDC and API through the integration layer, landing them in CDP Iceberg tables alongside OT and IoT data under one governance model.

How long does Cloudera Data Platform integration take with Rayven?

Most CDP integrations go live in 2-12 weeks. A single OT-to-CDP stream runs in 2-3 weeks; a full hybrid fabric that lands operational data and activates lakehouse AI runs 6-12 weeks. Choose DIY, done-for-you or hybrid delivery.

What are the technical specifics of Cloudera Data Platform integration with Rayven?

Rayven connects to CDP through its REST APIs and JDBC, plus NiFi and Kafka for ingest, authenticating with Kerberos, LDAP or Knox. Real-time operational data - OT, IoT, SCADA and historian events - is ingested via OPC-UA, MQTT and Modbus, then written into Apache Iceberg tables so Impala, Hive and Spark can query it immediately rather than after a batch NiFi flow. Table schemas, partitions and Iceberg snapshots are respected, and SDX shared security, lineage and fine-grained policy are preserved end-to-end across on-premise and cloud. Ingest volume is managed through batching and back-pressure so bursts never throttle clusters. On-premise ERP, databases and files land through the same fabric, and Cloudera Machine Learning predictions push back into operations and AI agents via Rayven MCP. Sovereign, edge and hybrid deployment is supported. Validated against CDP Public Cloud and CDP Private Cloud with SDX enabled. Rayven complements CDP; it is not a lakehouse and does not replace it.
