Cloudera has extended its AI Inference and Data Warehouse with Trino capabilities to on-premises data centers, enabling enterprises to deploy secure, governed AI models and analytics directly where critical data resides—across multi-cloud, edge, and data center environments—while minimizing security risks, compliance exposure, and long-term costs.
As enterprises transition from AI pilots to production-scale deployments, the focus has shifted to providing AI applications with secure, reliable, and governed access to data wherever it resides. Cloudera’s latest enhancements address this need by extending its core AI and analytics capabilities to on-premises environments, allowing organizations to maintain full control over sensitive data while leveraging advanced AI inferencing and unified querying.
Cloudera AI Inference now supports on-premises deployment of diverse AI models, accelerated by NVIDIA’s full AI stack. This enables enterprises to achieve superior cost-efficiency and predictable economics compared to volatile cloud pricing, while ensuring low-latency processing, regulatory compliance, and data sovereignty—critical for mission-critical workloads.
Cloudera Data Warehouse with Trino brings high-performance, federated querying to on-premises setups, offering centralized governance and observability across hybrid environments. Integrated with enhanced Cloudera Data Visualization, users gain AI-powered tools to generate contextual insights automatically, monitor usage robustly, trace AI queries for transparency, and simplify administrative controls.
“These advancements provide our customers with a superior level of control and flexibility,” said Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. “With Cloudera AI Inference, Cloudera Data Warehouse with Trino, and Cloudera Data Visualization all accessible in the data center, organizations can securely deploy AI and analytics exactly where their most critical data resides. This means enterprises can drive innovation and derive insights without compromising on data security, compliance, or operational efficiency.”
“The value of enterprise data is realized when AI can be securely and flexibly deployed where that data lives,” said Pat Lee, vice president, strategic enterprise partnerships, NVIDIA. “Our collaboration with Cloudera enables customers to deploy and scale AI inference using NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, Dynamo-Triton and NIM microservices, delivering control, predictable economics, and data-center efficiency.”
Cloudera’s expansions empower organizations to extract maximum value from their data estate—particularly from data warehouses, where nearly half of companies store critical information—while minimizing the risks associated with data movement. By converging public clouds, on-premises data centers, and edge environments on a proven open-source foundation, Cloudera continues to position itself as the platform for bringing AI to data anywhere.
