AI-driven data architecture in focus at EVOLVE25 – News

The data and artificial intelligence landscape is undergoing a rapid transformation as enterprises move beyond experimentation into large-scale adoption. Hybrid cloud and AI-driven data architecture are emerging as critical enablers as organizations rethink how to securely operationalize AI.

Cloudera Inc. has sought to respond to these trends by positioning itself at the intersection of AI, hybrid cloud and modern data architecture. Cloudera EVOLVE25 will be an opportunity to dive into how enterprises are reaching an inflection point with AI-driven data strategies, according to Paul Nashawaty, principal analyst at theCUBE Research.

“According to theCUBE Research, 87% of organizations are prioritizing hybrid and multi-cloud models to ensure data sovereignty and scalability,” Nashawaty said. “Cloudera’s Evolve event highlights how trusted, enterprise-grade data platforms are becoming the backbone of this transformation.”

Nashawaty, along with a team of theCUBE’s analysts, will discuss product innovation, secure enterprise AI and open-source leadership during the event. Join theCUBE,  News Media’s livestreaming studio, on Sept. 25 for live coverage of Cloudera EVOLVE25. (* Disclosure below.)

AI-driven data architecture in focus

Over the past few months, Cloudera has sought to strengthen its platform and to build partnerships to drive new innovation. In July, Cloudera and Saudi Aramco announced a plan to collaborate on AI-driven digital innovation in Saudi Arabia.

This year, Cloudera also announced that it had acquired Taikun Cloud A.S., a platform provider for managing Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure across hybrid and multicloud environments. The acquisition was tied to Cloudera’s mission to bring the cloud experience wherever enterprise data resides, according to Charles Sansbury, chief executive officer of Cloudera.

“By integrating Taikun’s container-native platform in our stack, we are removing operational barriers and enabling our customers to unlock faster insights, make smarter decisions and drive real-time action in every corner of their business,” Sansbury said in a release.

AI adoption is no longer experimental, with 93% of organizations already developing or planning custom AI agents, according to Nashawaty. The challenge now is operationalizing AI at scale, which requires not only compute power but also secure, governed and high-quality data pipelines.

“The data economy is shifting from raw infrastructure to business outcomes,” he said. “TheCUBE Research shows that organizations using unified data platforms report a 42% faster time-to-insight compared to siloed environments. As Cloudera positions itself at Evolve, the message is clear: AI maturity is measured by data readiness.”

These subjects and more will be a major focus during Cloudera EVOLVE25. TheCUBE will provide exclusive coverage of the event and offer analyst-driven commentary on AI-driven data architecture and hybrid cloud. You can follow theCUBE’s wall-to-wall coverage for firsthand insights.
