Cloudera, a hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, launched Cloudera AI Inference powered by NVIDIA NIM microservices, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform. As one of the industry’s first AI inference services to provide embedded NIM microservice capability, Cloudera AI Inference uniquely streamlines the deployment and management of large-scale AI models, allowing enterprises to harness their data’s true potential to advance GenAI from pilot phases to full production.
“As enterprises rapidly scale their AI capabilities, the need for trusted data and seamless integration becomes more critical than ever. With GenAI advancing rapidly in India, businesses are increasingly focused on balancing innovation with strong governance and compliance to fully harness its potential. Our partnerships with NVIDIA and integration with Snowflake exemplify Cloudera’s commitment to empowering organizations to innovate at scale in a secure manner,” says Mayank Baid, Regional Vice President, India & South Asia, Cloudera.
The Why
Recent data from Deloitte reveals the biggest barriers to GenAI adoption for enterprises are compliance risks and governance concerns, yet adoption of GenAI is progressing at a rapid pace, with over two-thirds of organizations increasing their GenAI budgets in Q3 this year. To mitigate these concerns, businesses must turn to running AI models and applications privately – whether on premises or in public clouds. This shift requires secure and scalable solutions that avoid complex, do-it-yourself approaches.
Cloudera AI Inference protects sensitive data from leaking to non-private, vendor-hosted AI model services by providing secure development and deployment within enterprise control. Powered by NVIDIA technology, the service helps to build trusted data for trusted AI with high-performance speeds, enabling the efficient development of AI-driven chatbots, virtual assistants, and agentic applications impacting both productivity and new business growth.
