Cloudera has reported the first quarter of fiscal year 2021 results, ending April 30, 2020, the company announced on Thursday

"We executed extremely well in Q1, particularly as the pandemic was in full effect for more than half of our fiscal quarter," said Rob Bearden, chief executive officer, Cloudera. "We believe that remote working environments have placed heightened importance on data, data analysis and data security, which has increased the value of data architecture design and the criticality of hybrid cloud solutions.”
