"After four years of month over month revenue and consultant growth, I'm pleased to announce three Cloudwick corporate growth milestones," said Mani Chhabra, Cloudwick CEO. "First, Cloudwick has doubled in size this year and is now more than 75 big data production scale-out operations consultants who build, operate and manage the largest Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR and DataStax clusters in the United States. Second, Cloudwick's big data operations services team crossed 125,000 hours of production management with more than 10,000 nodes of Hadoop and NoSQL under support for our Fortune 1000 clients. And third, Cloudwick achieved record people and service growth in 2014 and will surpass 100 consultants and $10 million in big data service revenue."
Expert Differentiation
Cloudwick's growth is necessitated by industry demand for its highly proficient experts and the trust the company has earned from its Fortune 1000 customers. By forming integral partnerships with ecosystem vendors like Cloudera, Hortonworks and DataStax, Cloudwick big data professionals are exceptionally skilled at building, operating, monitoring and managing enterprise data hubs and data lakes.
"We're on track to have more than 225 big data consultants and $50 million in services revenue by end of 2015, which will make Cloudwick the largest big data services company in the country," said Mark Schreiber, GM of Cloudwick. "Cloudwick has solved one of the biggest enterprise problems facing the Fortune 1000 -- addressing the big data skills shortage by developing world class Hadoop and NoSQL experts just like IBM used to do when mainframe was a new technology. Cloudwick provides Fortune 1000 companies with administrators, developers, solution architects and data scientists who can build, operate and manage Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR and DataStax big data clusters."
