Cloudera will showcase its latest advancements at GITEX Global Dubai 2024, the Middle East’s premier technology event.
With enterprises in the region rapidly embracing cloud and AI technologies, Cloudera is set to spotlight innovations designed to meet the unique demands of Middle Eastern businesses seeking scalable, secure and efficient solutions for data management and AI-driven digital transformation.
As the region’s digital economy continues to grow, organisations are leveraging hybrid cloud environments to enhance productivity, ensure regulatory compliance, and unlock the value of their data.
According to a recent study by Cloudera, 71% of organisations in the Middle East already use the public cloud and 86% plan to move more data to the cloud in the next few years, driven by the need for flexibility, data sovereignty, and security.
At GITEX Global 2024, which takes place between October 14-18, Cloudera will present its solutions, including the newly launched Cloudera AI Inference Service, as part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform.
According to Cloudera, this service accelerates the deployment and management of large-scale AI models by up to 36x, providing enterprises with a secure, scalable, and high-performance foundation to advance GenAI from pilot stages to full-scale production.
Key innovations that Cloudera will highlight at GITEX include:
- Cloudera AI Inference: Leveraging NVIDIA’s Tensor Core GPUs and embedded NIM microservices, Cloudera claims its AI Inference provides 4x throughput over traditional CPUs for large language models (LLMs) and AI applications, enabling the rapid development of virtual assistants, AI-driven chatbots, and natural language processing solutions.
- True Hybrid Cloud Vision: Cloudera insists its vision is a unified data, analytics, and AI platform. This platform allows seamless movement of data and workloads across on-premises and cloud environments, ensuring security, scalability, and compliance with local data regulations.
- Open Data Lakehouse Architecture: Combining the flexibility of data lakes with the high performance of data warehouses, Cloudera guarantees its data lakehouse supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments, making it easier for enterprises to manage their complete data estate.
- Enhanced Security and Governance: With a focus on privacy and governance, Cloudera believes it offers enterprise-grade features like access control, service accounts, auditing, and lineage management, ensuring that data and AI models are deployed securely and efficiently.
“The Middle East is undergoing a tremendous digital transformation, with hybrid cloud playing a key role in unlocking new business models and driving efficiency,” Karim Azar, Regional Vice President of Middle East, Turkey & Africa at Cloudera, said. “Our participation in GITEX 2024 underlines our commitment to helping regional enterprises harness the full potential of their data with our hybrid data platform, AI capabilities, and scalable cloud technologies.”
In addition to AI-driven innovations, Cloudera’s Hybrid Control Plane will be on display, showcasing how businesses can gain a “single pane of glass” view for monitoring, governing, and optimising deployments across hybrid environments.
Cloudera says that this unified approach helps Middle Eastern enterprises navigate the complexities of hybrid cloud management, ensuring operational continuity and enhanced business agility.
