Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, is announcing that its latest iteration of Cloudera Data Services delivers private AI to on-prem environments. This affords enterprises access to AI advantages without sacrificing security, allowing them to run AI—fueled by their own data—behind their firewall.
This release comes as fears surrounding data security continue to inhibit AI adoption. According to a report from Accenture, the fear is warranted—77% of organizations lack the foundational data and AI security practices needed to safeguard critical models, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
“Historically, enterprises have been forced to cobble together complex, fragile DIY solutions to run their AI on-premises,” said Sanjeev Mohan, industry analyst. “Today the urgency to adopt AI is undeniable, but so are the concerns around data security. What enterprises need are solutions that streamline AI adoption, boost productivity, and do so without compromising on security.”
Cloudera aims to bring crucial services to enterprises’ data centers that enable AI while boosting security, productivity, and ROI. Now, Cloudera AI Inference service—which accelerates model serving with speed, security, and efficiency—and Cloudera AI Studios—which simplifies the development of GenAI apps and agents—are available in the data center, both crucial for enhancing and securing AI deployment while keeping intellectual property and sensitive data behind a company’s firewall.
“Cloudera Data Services On-Premises delivers a true cloud-native experience on-premises, providing agility and efficiency without sacrificing security or control,” said Leo Brunnick, Cloudera’s chief product officer. “This release is a significant step forward in data modernization, moving from monolithic clusters to a suite of agile, containerized applications.”
Powered by NVIDIA NIM microservices, Cloudera AI Inference service supercharges AI development and deployment while infusing security at every stage of the AI lifecycle. With this release, enterprises benefit from being able to deploy and manage large-scale AI models within the data center—where the data already securely lives, according to Cloudera. Cloudera AI Studios, now available on-prem, affords enterprises a simpler, accelerated path to production while ensuring security, governance, and scalability, offering development options from low-code to full-code.
"BNI is proud to be an early adopter of Cloudera’s AI Inference service," stated Toto Prasetio, chief information officer of BNI. "This technology provides the essential infrastructure to securely and efficiently expand our generative AI initiatives, all while adhering to Indonesia's dynamic regulatory environment. It marks a significant advancement in our mission to offer smarter, quicker, and more dependable digital banking solutions to the people of Indonesia."
