Cloudera, an enterprise data cloud solutions provider, has agreed to acquire Octopai’s data lineage and catalog platform. The acquisition is expected to be completed by the end of this month. This move significantly enhances Cloudera’s data catalog and metadata management capabilities.
The struggle to achieve comprehensive data intelligence is a fundamental challenge faced by enterprises in a data-driven world. This issue is especially pronounced in highly regulated industries, such as finance, healthcare, and telecommunications. Organizations often struggle to gain data visibility over multiple data solutions across hybrid environments.
Cloudera aims to address the current fragmented state of enterprise data by leveraging Octopai’s platform to turn scattered and complex data into a unified and trusted foundation for strategic decision-making, innovation, and compliance.
Octopai is known for its automated solutions for data discovery, lineage, mapping, and cataloging. These capabilities align with Cloudera’s broader goal of providing organizations with a comprehensive data management platform that enhances data visibility, governance, and accessibility.

A core capability with Octopai is data lineage, which provides organizations with a complete and transparent view of their data’s journey across systems, from origin to destination. By having a full context to their data, organizations can make informed business decisions.
“As data-driven organizations adopt hybrid, distributed data architectures, being able to automatically manage metadata is critical to providing a unified self-service view of the data,” said Sanjeev Mohan, principal analyst at SanjMo.
“Unified metadata strategies lead to analytic insights that data consumers trust. They also ensure security, increase governance and provide a consistent view across the entire data estate. Augmenting Cloudera’s data management, governance, and AI capabilities with Octopai’s enterprise-ready, multi-layered data lineage over 50 data source connectors, and automated metadata management leads to a comprehensive metadata and data intelligence solution.”
Octopai was founded in 2016 with an aim to provide automated solutions for understanding and managing metadata across complex data environments. The founders were big data professionals who had firsthand experience of the challenges organizations face when managing large and complex data systems. Octopai was created to simplify data management and improve visibility and analysis across complex data systems.
Since its inception, Octopai has expanded its platform’s capabilities to include advanced features like automated data mapping, data lineage tracking, and impact analysis, which help businesses gain deeper insights into their data.
The Octopai acquisition enables Cloudera users to fuel their predictive analytics, AI, and other decision-making tools with trusted data. They also gain better visibility into complex and distributed data across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. Additionally, users can expect a more simplified data migration process and consistent data across all environments.
The acquisition of Octopai brings the powerful Octomize AI agent into the hands of Cloudera users. Octopai claims the AI agent can help improve data lineage visualization and help with SQL query optimization, enhancing efficiency and insights for data management.
According to Yael Ben Arie, CEO of Octopai, the partnership with Cloudera integrates centralized data and metadata management to tackle the complexities of multi-cloud and on-premises environments. She emphasized that the acquisition sets a new standard for metadata management while advancing Cloudera’s efforts to prepare organizations for the AI-driven future.
