Cloudera unveils AI-powered data visualisation tools for ANZ

Cloudera has announced the release of Cloudera Data Visualisation with expanded AI capabilities for on-premises environments across Australia and New Zealand.

The new software integrates AI visualisation and natural language querying features within the Cloudera platform, aimed at enabling businesses and organisations to share insights and collaborate efficiently without undermining data security or governance.

Many enterprises face obstacles to effective data visualisation due to fragmented systems, complicated integrations, and challenges with data governance. These issues can result in an incomplete view of data, which may lead to less effective decision-making. Cloudera's latest version addresses these concerns by consolidating visualisation tools and analytics under one platform, supporting both hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.

Keir Garrett, Regional Vice President of Cloudera Australia and New Zealand, commented, "As data-driven demands for clarity, agility and compliance grow across businesses in Australia and New Zealand, Cloudera Data Visualisation acts as a powerful business magnifying glass—turning fragmented data into a single source of truth. With AI-powered insights, natural language querying, and intuitive visuals, it empowers non-technical users across industries like finance, healthcare, telco, and professional services to connect the dots, reduce risk, and make faster, smarter decisions that drive impact."

Organisations operating in regulated sectors or with specific compliance needs in Australia and New Zealand are expected to benefit from on-premises support, which is designed to unlock value from enterprise data while maintaining data control and compliance standards.

Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera, said, "As enterprises continue to prioritise both multi-cloud and hybrid environments, they need to see their data as a part of a bigger picture. Bringing together AI-driven insights, secure infrastructure, and seamless collaboration in one unified platform, users can see the missing puzzle pieces of their data, wherever they may be. It's not just about being able to see the data; it's about seeing how it all fits together to deliver business-critical insights."

Cloudera Data Visualisation offers a selection of features intended to support business users in visualising and analysing data. These include a drag-and-drop builder for creating graphs and charts, an AI Visual tool for report generation through natural language, and a predictive application builder that incorporates both Cloudera's machine learning models and those from external providers such as Amazon Bedrock, OpenAI, and Microsoft Azure OpenAI.

The platform also integrates with Cloudera Shared Data Experience (SDX) to ensure that organisations can work with data securely, without the need to transfer or duplicate information, therefore reducing data security risks. Advanced governance controls further allow businesses to manage how their data is pictured and accessed.

Industry analyst Sanjeev Mohan commented on the release, stating, "By integrating directly with Cloudera's unified platform, users benefit from a consistent experience, enhanced collaboration, and full lifecycle data exploration—all while retaining full control over their own infrastructure. Now, Cloudera users can picture and share insights securely within their on-prem environment, allowing their teams to be more agile and informed in their decision-making."

According to Cloudera, hybrid cloud adoption is expected to reach USD $329.72 billion by 2030, meaning integrated and compliant solutions such as Cloudera Data Visualisation are gaining importance for data-driven enterprises in the region.
