PhoenixAI, the Agentic AI Database, today announced a strategic partnership with Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere. PhoenixAI is joining as a foundational data partner for Cloudera’s newly launched hybrid data and AI platform, and Cloudera Anywhere Cloud Marketplace. Through this partnership, enterprise customers can deploy PhoenixAI’s high-performance cloud database engine directly within Cloudera’s secure private and public cloud environments.
As organizations accelerate their adoption of autonomous AI agents and real-time decision-making systems, access to fresh, sub-second enterprise data is critical. PhoenixAI’s inclusion in Cloudera’s private and sovereign infrastructure offering delivers an AI-native database foundation designed specifically for high-concurrency, low-latency workloads while adhering to strict enterprise governance and data sovereignty mandates.
Speed, Reduced Complexity, and Enhanced Security
By making PhoenixAI natively available within Cloudera’s ecosystem, the joint solution delivers three core advantages to enterprise engineering and data teams:
Sub-Second Speed at Scale: PhoenixAI delivers sub-second SQL query performance across live streaming data and historical lakehouse formats, sustaining high concurrency without performance degradation.
Radically Reduced Complexity: Customers can instantly spin up a managed database cluster in a couple of clicks via the Cloudera Anywhere Cloud Marketplace. PhoenixAI queries real-time and lakehouse data in place—eliminating mandatory data denormalization, complex pre-aggregations, or unnecessary ETL pipelines.
Enhanced Security and Enterprise Trust: Deployed securely within the customer’s private cloud environment, PhoenixAI enforces fine-grained role-based access control (RBAC), per-query auditing, and full data sovereignty, ensuring sensitive AI workloads remain protected under enterprise security protocols.
Executive Commentary
“PhoenixAI was selected as an early foundational database partner for Cloudera’s innovative private cloud initiative,” said Andy Ye, co-founder and chief product officer of PhoenixAI. “AI agents and modern real-time applications demand sub-second data access without compromising security or operational simplicity. Partnering with Cloudera allows our mutual customers to deploy PhoenixAI’s high-concurrency database engine instantly within their trusted private cloud infrastructure, enabling them to move AI from experiment to production faster than ever.”
“Our customers want AI on their own terms, in their own environments (self-hosted or Bring Your Own Cloud) with data under their control,” said Michelle Hoover, SVP of Global Alliances & Channels at Cloudera. “Through Cloudera’s collaboration with PhoenixAI, we can offer them a real-time database built the way agents need it to work, with the governance our customers expect.”
