CLOUDERA LEVERAGES AWS TO DELIVER A SOVEREIGN-READY DATA AND AI PLATFORM
Cloudera, bringing AI to data anywhere, has announced it is a launch partner for the new Amazon Web Services( AWS) European Sovereign Cloud. Through this initiative, Cloudera has developed a robust, sovereign data and AI platform specifically for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. This creates the industry’ s most comprehensive solution designed for the highest levels of data control, governance and regulatory compliance.
According to IDC’ s Worldwide Sovereign Cloud Market Forecast( 2022 – 2027), spending on a sovereign cloud is expected to grow an average of 27 % year-on-year, totalling US $ 258 billion by 2027. This surge in interest underscores organisations’ increasing reliance on data and heightened awareness of the need for its control, security and compliance across all environments – public, private, sovereign clouds and data centres. Without the ability to securely and effectively manage 100 % of enterprise data within defined geographical and operational boundaries, it can be impossible for organisations in highly-regulated industries to apply AI to workloads and make fully informed, strategic decisions.
To address these challenges, Cloudera is collaborating with AWS to provide joint customers with a sovereign-by-design
data and AI platform to store and analyse all their data within EU borders. The Cloudera Platform addresses organisations’ core technical, operational and strategic requirements, meaning organisations can confidently navigate the complexities of data sovereignty and unlock the full value of their data assets within a trusted framework.
