Cloudera is fast becoming the defacto commercial Hadoop brand. At the least, they have assembled an impressive collection of Hadoop celebrities.

As I understand it, they are still doing mostly consulting engagements. While lucrative, I expect them to build a product soon, if they are not already doing so. Anyone care to speculate?

I bet it will be something cloud based. Will they sell to Amazon and other cloud providers, or will they build their own cloud?

This is what I get for debugging and writing on HN. I just realized what I wrote, Cloudera doing something cloud based, yeah I'm a genius.
