Nutanix , like SimpliVity, is another representative of “infrastructure blending” projects, providing consumers with computing power and disk space in one easy-to-buy and easy-to-manage package.

Cloudera develops and sells software products that help businesses process and analyze any amount of data using Apache Hadoop. The closest competitor is Hortonworks , which entered the IPO at the end of 2014, showing a good rise in the value of shares at the start of trading, but reached a plateau by the current moment, which explains Cloudera's reluctance to repeat this experience.
