Cloudera, the only company offering AI for data across all environments, has unveiled the latest update of Cloudera Data Services, enabling Private AI capabilities directly within enterprise data centers. This release introduces secure, GPU-accelerated generative AI behind corporate firewalls, complete with governance tools and hybrid cloud flexibility, allowing enterprises to build and scale their own sovereign data clouds on-site—eliminating security risks. Cloudera remains the only provider offering a unified data lifecycle with consistent cloud-native services both on-premises and in the public cloud.
Security concerns around protecting sensitive data and proprietary information continue to be a major barrier to AI adoption across sectors. A report by Accenture shows that 77% of organizations lack the foundational security and data practices necessary to protect critical AI models, data pipelines, and infrastructure. Cloudera addresses these risks head-on, helping enterprises accelerate their AI development from prototype to production in weeks instead of months.
This release extends the benefits of Cloudera Data Services to on-site infrastructure, enabling organizations to cut infrastructure costs, simplify data lifecycles, and boost productivity for data teams. With automated security tasks and streamlined deployment processes, organizations can now realize faster ROI from their AI initiatives. This update also delivers a cloud-native user experience within internal environments, giving enterprises the flexibility to scale without compromising data security.
Included in this update are on-premises versions of Cloudera AI Inference Service and Cloudera AI Studios, both previously available only in the cloud. These tools are designed to eliminate the primary obstacles to enterprise AI adoption, allowing companies to safely develop and operate generative AI applications within their internal networks.
Cloudera AI Inference Service, now available on-prem and powered by NVIDIA, is among the first in the industry to offer integrated NVIDIA NIM microservices. This offering supports the secure and scalable deployment of large AI models within the data center, keeping data and models inside secure infrastructure.

Cloudera AI Studios brings a low-code platform to enterprise data centers, democratizing the development and deployment of generative AI applications and agents across teams.
A Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Cloudera found that a composite customer using Cloudera Data Services on-premises experienced an 80% reduction in deployment time, a 20% productivity boost among data and platform teams, and a 35% cost savings due to the cloud-native architecture. Organizations also reported major operational improvements, with some increasing hardware efficiency from 30% to 70% and requiring 25% to over 50% less capacity post-modernization.
“Enterprises have long struggled with cobbled-together, fragile solutions for on-prem AI,” said industry analyst Sanjeev Mohan. “With AI adoption becoming urgent, security concerns remain paramount. Enterprises need streamlined, secure solutions to adopt AI without sacrificing performance.”
“Cloudera Data Services On-Premises provides a truly cloud-native experience within private infrastructure, enabling both agility and security,” said Leo Brunnick, Cloudera’s Chief Product Officer. “This release represents a major leap in modernizing enterprise data architecture, shifting from rigid clusters to flexible, container-based applications.”
Toto Prasetio, Chief Information Officer at Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI), said: “We are proud to be early adopters of Cloudera’s AI Inference service. It offers the secure and scalable backbone we need to expand our generative AI initiatives while complying with Indonesia’s evolving regulations. This is a crucial step in delivering smarter, faster, and more reliable digital banking to Indonesians.”
Cloudera is showcasing the new release at EVOLVE25, its annual global data and AI conference series, beginning this week in Singapore. Participants can register to learn how Cloudera enables AI across any enterprise data environment.
