Cazena

Cazena was a Waltham, Massachusetts-based enterprise software company, founded in 2014, that delivered a fully-managed SaaS data platform — a "Big Data as a Service" cloud data lake that let enterprises run analytics, machine learning, and data-lake workloads on managed cloud infrastructure without operating the underlying stack themselves. The company was backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), North Bridge Venture Partners, and Formation 8. Cloudera agreed to acquire Cazena (alongside Datacoral) in June 2021, folding Cazena's managed SaaS data-lake technology into the Cloudera platform. Cazena no longer operates as an independent provider; its domain cazena.com now redirects to cloudera.com, and it exposes no independent public API, developer portal, or documentation.

Cazena is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Big Data, Data Lake, Analytics, and Cloud.
