Cloudera Launches Private Link Network to Enhance Data Security for Regulated Industries

Cloudera, known for its hybrid platform for data, analytics, and AI, has introduced the Cloudera Private Link Network, a solution designed to tackle critical data security and privacy issues for organizations with stringent data protection requirements. The new service offers secure, private connectivity from customer workloads to the Cloudera Control Plane, ensuring that data remains shielded from the public internet.

Industries such as finance, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals often face challenges around data privacy, as many cloud providers cannot guarantee that traffic between tenants, even within the same cloud, will not expose data to the public internet. The Cloudera Private Link Network directly addresses this issue by providing a unified, cross-cloud private connectivity solution. This allows enterprises to securely manage data-heavy workloads across various cloud environments through a single, specialized network, mitigating risks of data exposure.

By leveraging cloud provider services such as AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link, Cloudera’s network integrates seamlessly across major cloud platforms. It extends secure data transfer across multi-cloud environments, ensuring consistent security and easier management. Through Cloudera’s Command Line Interface, customers can self-serve and provision services efficiently, enhancing control over their data workflows.

“Cloudera Private Link Network is designed to resolve enterprise privacy and connectivity challenges,” said Dipto Chakravarty, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. “By shifting the management of the Private Link Network to Cloudera, organizations can lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) and free up resources to focus on strategic initiatives, while maintaining data integrity and trust across their cloud architecture.”

Industry analyst Sanjeev Mohan added, “As businesses increasingly adopt cross-cloud solutions, they need to reduce the complexity of multi-platform setups. Cloudera’s Private Link Network simplifies this by managing private link endpoints between the control plane and data planes. It enables secure data protection while also lowering TCO, cementing Cloudera’s position as a leader in cross-cloud connectivity for metadata management.”

Cloudera’s Private Link Network promises to help enterprises streamline their multi-cloud strategies while safeguarding sensitive customer data, further bolstering the company’s reputation as a key player in secure cloud solutions.
