Cloudera announced Cloudera Anywhere Cloud at EVOLVE 26 in Singapore on August 20, 2026. CEO Charles Sansbury called it the culmination of five years of change since the company went private. The modular platform combines public cloud, on-premises, and edge services under one management system. Cloudera also released Cloudera Data Platform 7.3.2, code-named Kona.
Sansbury said Cloudera spent $1 billion over three years on three acquisitions and R&D. Customer surveys showed a steady shift away from cloud-only operations, with on-premises workloads growing each year. He called hybrid the de facto standard at large companies. The new platform is meant to serve as the operating system for private and sovereign AI, letting customers keep data inside their own security boundaries. Cloudera manages 30 exabytes of data, and Sansbury framed Anywhere Cloud as the tool to unlock that pool.
