For years, Cloudera’s platform has helped the world’s most innovative organizations turn data into action. As the AI landscape evolves from experiments into strategic, enterprise-wide initiatives, it’s clear that our naming should reflect that shift. That’s why we’re moving from Cloudera Machine Learning to Cloudera AI.

In today’s dynamic digital landscape, multi-cloud strategies have become vital for organizations aiming to leverage the best of both cloud and on-premises environments. As enterprises navigate complex data-driven transformations, hybrid and multi-cloud models offer unmatched flexibility and resilience. Here’s a deep dive into why and how enterprises master multi-cloud deployments to enhance their data and AI initiatives.

Airports are an interconnected system where one unforeseen event can tip the scale into chaos. For a smaller airport in Canada, data has grown to be its North Star in an industry full of surprises. In order for data to bring true value to operations–and ultimately customer experiences–those data insights must be grounded in trust.

AWS re:Invent is one of my favorite trade shows. It is one of the biggest technology conferences of the year and is an opportunity to have hundreds of conversations with customers and prospects, listen to their priorities and challenges, hopes, and give them a Cloudera tote bag or a pair of orange sunglasses. What follows is a collection of just a few things I learned and observed during my week in Las Vegas.

Since 5G networks began rolling out commercially in 2019, telecom carriers have faced a wide range of new challenges: managing high-velocity workloads, reducing infrastructure costs, and adopting AI and automation. Because data management is a key variable for overcoming these challenges, carriers are turning to hybrid cloud solutions, which provide the flexibility and scalability needed to adapt to the evolving landscape 5G enables.

In the last year, we’ve seen the explosion of AI in the enterprise, leaving organizations to consider the infrastructure and processes for AI to successfully—and securely—deploy across an organization. As we head into 2025, it’s clear that next year will be just as exciting as past years. Here, Cloudera experts share their insights on what to expect in data and AI for the enterprise in 2025.

We’re proud to announce that Cloudera signed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) “Secure by Design” pledge, joining a network of industry leaders dedicated to embedding security at every stage of the product lifecycle. To be good stewards of our customers’ data, it is critical for security to be a fundamental component of every product and service we offer–not just an afterthought.

As organizations increasingly integrate AI into day-to-day operations, scaling AI solutions effectively becomes essential yet challenging. Many enterprises encounter bottlenecks related to data quality, model deployment, and infrastructure requirements that hinder scaling efforts. Cloudera tackles these challenges with the AI Inference service and tailored Solution Patterns developed by Cloudera’s Professional Services, empowering organizations to operationalize AI at scale across industries.

We’re thrilled to announce the release of a new Cloudera Accelerator for Machine Learning (ML) Projects (AMP): “Summarization with Gemini from Vertex AI”. An AMP is a pre-built, high-quality minimal viable product (MVP) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) use cases that can be deployed in a single-click from Cloudera AI (CAI). AMPs are all about helping you quickly build performant AI applications. More on AMPs can be found here.

Artificial Intelligence promises to transform lives and business as we know it. But what does that future look like? The AI Forecast: Data and AI in the Cloud Era, sponsored by Cloudera, aims to take an objective look at the impact of AI on business, industry, and the world at large.
