Cloudera Reinforces Commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 with plans to launch its data and AI platform on the AWS Saudi Arabia Region

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudera today announced plans to launch its data and AI analytics platform on the upcoming Amazon Web Services (AWS) Saudi Arabia Region, enabling organizations in KSA to bring AI and data together for analytics through a secure, reliable, and extensive cloud infrastructure. By launching on the AWS Saudi Arabia Region, Cloudera provides its KSA customers with superior data control, governance, and regulatory compliance.

Cloudera’s availability on the AWS Saudi Arabia Region will enable organizations to store and analyze data securely, supporting national goals for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, and scalable, enterprise–grade AI innovation. Cloudera’s collaboration fortifies the company’s commitment to Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 for accelerated digital transformation and builds on its existing collaborations with AWS.

IDC’s Worldwide Sovereign Cloud Market Forecast (2022–2027) projects that investments in sovereign cloud infrastructure will climb by an average of 27% per year, reaching $258 billion by 2027. The rapid expansion underscores the growing organizational reliance on data as a strategic asset and the critical importance of stronger oversight, protection, and compliance across all environments, including public and private clouds, sovereign systems, and data centers. Empowering enterprises to handle data securely, within clearly defined geographical and operational parameters, allows those in heavily regulated industries to confidently shape where and how they deploy AI workloads.

“In an era where data defines digital trust, the upcoming AWS Saudi Arabia Region enables our customers to balance innovation with compliance. They can safeguard their data within KSA borders, uphold the highest standards of governance, and advance AI and analytics initiatives with complete confidence,” said Paco Mateo–Sidron, Head of EMEA, Cloudera.

The combination of the industry–leading cloud infrastructure of AWS with Cloudera’s secure data and AI platform delivers a powerful data solution that drives significant business value. Purpose–built to meet regional standards, it is ideally suited for organizations in highly regulated industries and the public sector.

The Cloudera Platform on the AWS Saudi Arabia Region will enable customers to:

  • Preserve data sovereignty – Ensure that all customer data remains securely hosted within the KSA, aligning with evolving regulatory requirements.
  • Advance innovation securely – Harness a comprehensive portfolio of data, analytics, and AI services to unlock insights and power AI–driven solutions, all while maintaining full compliance with local sovereignty requirements.
  • Achieve independent operations – Rely on cloud infrastructure that is physically located in the KSA, supporting operational control and integrity.

“At Cloudera, we see data as the cornerstone of secure and responsible innovation,” said Sergio Gago, Chief Technology Officer at Cloudera. “Our collaboration with AWS brings Cloudera’s data and AI platform to Cloud initiatives in the KSA region, empowering organizations in the region to unlock the full value of the data with confidence, autonomy, and regulatory alignment.”

Cloudera Advances Unified Data Access and Governance with AI-Powered Federation and Lineage

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today announced a major platform update that integrates Trino, Cloudera Shared Data Experience (SDX), and Cloudera Octopai Data Lineage to deliver unified data access, control, smarter governance, and lineage across the entire data estate. With the power of AI–driven automation and intelligence, enterprises can now seamlessly discover, govern, and access all their data, wherever it resides.

As enterprises accelerate their AI initiatives, data accessibility remains a key barrier to success. According to a recent survey, only 9% of IT leaders report that all of their organization’s data is accessible, with just 38% saying that most of their data is usable for AI. For most organizations, data is often trapped in disparate systems with fragmented governance and security policies. This update empowers organizations to unite data silos, securely enable self–service access, and automate governance workflows for improved efficiency and trust in their data without ever moving their data. With Trino’s federation capabilities, enterprises can securely query distributed data using natural language interfaces and the power of the engines closest to the data. At the same time, Cloudera’s centralized governance helps to ensure consistent access control and compliance across all environments.

Built with AI at its core, Cloudera’s platform automates critical data fabric operations, including data quality checks, classification, and profiling. It also provides natural language access to enterprise data, democratizing data usage across both technical and non–technical teams. With this update, Cloudera customers can deploy Trino in data centers or public clouds and federate data across multiple systems using certified connectors. The integration with SDX unifies metadata and access controls, simplifying management and enabling secure, self–service data access. By unifying metadata, access controls, governance, and security across the entire enterprise, Cloudera delivers a single, secure endpoint to access all data—across multiple engines, clouds, and on–premises environments—without duplicating security or access policies. Additionally, Cloudera Octopai Data Lineage tracks the end–to–end journey of data, delivering transparency and trust for all data transformations, including data originating outside the Cloudera ecosystem.

Through this AI–infused architecture, Cloudera enables enterprises to:

  • Boost efficiency through automation of data fabric operations such as cleansing and classification.
  • Democratize access with natural language interfaces for intuitive data interaction.
  • Improve trust and transparency through intelligent metadata collection and end–to–end data lineage.

“Our mission at Cloudera has always been to empower enterprises to make trusted data available for every AI initiative,” said Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer, Cloudera. “With this release, we’re taking a major step forward, bringing AI–powered automation, governance, and access together under one platform. Enterprises can now securely harness all their data anywhere to accelerate innovation and drive better business outcomes.”

This news was announced during Cloudera’s EVOLVE25 event in Dubai. Learn more about Cloudera’s data and AI platform.
