Cloudera 5 Hardware Certification Application
This application for certification is to be filled out in its entirety for each product
submitted for certification. Missing, incomplete, or non-factual responses will be
grounds for rejecting the application for certification. In the event that additional
information or clarification is required, Cloudera may contact the application
submitter for additional details. Each application for certification must be
accompanied by the results from running the certification test suite on a valid test
cluster.
Server Types
These questions apply to conventional servers, blade servers and cloud servers.
When answering for a blade server, answer all questions for an individual server
blade. Questions which do not apply for individual blades may be answered for the
chassis instead.
In the case that a server blade is supported in more than one chassis, this
application for certification applies only to the server blade housed in a single
specified chassis. Certifying the server blade in more than one chassis requires
submitting an application for certification for each blade/chassis combination.
In the case that a blade server chassis supports more than one type of server blade,
this application for certification applies only to a single server blade type. Certifying
more than one server blade type in a single chassis requires submitting an
individual application for certification for each server blade type/chassis
combination.

2. Describe the architecture of the cluster used for the testing. Include the list
of all deployed components and the nodes on which those components were
deployed.
3. Describe the cluster architecture on which the cluster was deployed for the
testing. List each node in the network, including the network interface(s)
through which the node was connected, the number and type of CPUs, the
total memory and a list of individual memory modules, the total local storage
and a list of local storage components, and any other relevant details.
4. Describe the network topology of the cluster that was used for testing. List all
switches and other fabric components and indicate where each node was
attached.
