AUCKLAND – 3
November 2025 – Cloudian is
enabling governments, enterprises, and service providers
worldwide to develop sovereign AI projects within their
national borders, using its proven S3-compatible storage
platforms. With Cloudian HyperStore for AI data management
and the Cloudian HyperScale AI Data Platform – which
integrates NVIDIA accelerated computing, networking and NVIDIA
AI Enterprise software – organisations can deploy
full-stack sovereign AI solutions that maintain complete
control over their data and AI models while ensuring
compliance with national regulations and corporate
governance policies.
Sovereign AI initiatives are
accelerating globally as organisations seek to develop AI
capabilities that remain entirely within their geographic
and regulatory boundaries. Sovereign AI projects must
deliver value using country-specific data and interacting in
local languages. Government agencies, financial
institutions, healthcare organisations, and regional service
providers are partnering with Cloudian to build AI
infrastructure that delivers the performance and scale of
global cloud platforms while maintaining the sovereignty
controls required for sensitive
applications.
“Sovereign AI represents the next
evolution of AI deployment, where organisations can harness
the full power of artificial intelligence without
compromising data control or regulatory compliance,” said
Michael Tso, CEO at Cloudian. “Our HyperScale AI Data
Platform enables organisations to deploy complete sovereign
AI infrastructure that transforms institutional knowledge
into actionable intelligence while maintaining absolute
control over their most valuable asset – their
data.”

Cloudian delivers comprehensive
sovereign AI capabilities through two integrated platforms
that work seamlessly with NVIDIA’s AI software
stack:
Cloudian HyperStore for AI Data
Management: Provides S3-compatible, on-premises
data management that keeps sensitive information within
controlled geographic boundaries while delivering the APIs
and performance required for AI applications. Key
capabilities include leading S3 API compatibility, S3 RDMA
for throughput up to TBs/sec in a single rack,
government-verified security, and air-gapped deployment
options for classified environments.
Cloudian
HyperScale AI Data Platform: Built on NVIDIA
RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and aligned
with the NVIDIA
AI Data Platform reference design, this solution
automatically transforms enterprise data stores into
AI-ready resources. The platform eliminates complex
infrastructure requirements by bringing AI compute directly
to data sources, with integrated vector database
capabilities that automatically ingest, embed, index and
retrieve multimodal unstructured content.
These
platforms enable organisations to deploy sovereign AI
solutions that access the 90% of enterprise data that is
unstructured – reports, manuals, presentations, and
multimedia content that represent institutional knowledge
– without requiring data to leave national borders or
organisational control.
Eliminating Infrastructure
Complexity for Sovereign Deployment
Traditional AI
implementations require organisations to build complex,
dedicated infrastructure with separate stacks for
accelerated compute, data storage, and vector databases –
a costly process that demands specialised skills many
organisations lack. Cloudian eliminates these barriers by
enabling sovereign AI deployment directly on native
S3-compatible data sources without additional infrastructure
layers.
The HyperScale AI Data Platform brings
accelerated computing directly to enterprise data stores,
automatically transforming storage into AI-ready
infrastructure. With built-in vector database capabilities,
the platform enables AI agents to access, search, and
analyse organisational knowledge in near real-time while
maintaining complete sovereignty control.
Industry
Validation
“Australia’s Privacy Act and upcoming
AI governance regulations require us to keep both training
data and AI models within Australian borders. We understand
that sovereignty is essential to trust, and our technology
partners provide the performance we need to meet strict data
sovereignty requirements. We deliver AI-as-a-Service that
customers trust to remain compliant with Australian law.”
– Christopher Sassone, Head of Sales,
ResetData.
“Bringing scalable storage and
compute infrastructure directly to where data resides is a
cornerstone of a successful sovereign AI factory.
Cloudian’s HyperScale AI Data Platform integrates
high-performance storage with NVIDIA accelerated computing,
networking and software to unlock the value of enterprise
data for sovereign AI applications.” – Justin
Boitano, vice president, enterprise AI products,
NVIDIA.
“Cloudian has been instrumental in
enabling our sovereign AI initiatives across India. The
HyperStore platform allows us to build scalable AI models
using our local data while ensuring everything remains
within Indian borders. Our customers can now deploy AI
applications with complete confidence in data
sovereignty.” – Sunil Gupta, Co-founder, Managing
Director & Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Yotta Data
Services.
“As India’s digital infrastructure
backbone serving top banks, the national stock exchange, and
critical government systems, data sovereignty is fundamental
to our operations. Cloudian’s sovereign AI platform
enables us to deliver AI-powered services to regulated
industries while ensuring sensitive data never leaves Indian
territory. This is essential for meeting India’s data
localisation requirements and maintaining the trust of our
enterprise customers.” – Pramod Bhandiwad, Head of AI
and Software Development, Sify
Technologies.
“Korea’s national AI strategy
demands complete technological sovereignty. Cloudian’s
platform allows us to build and deploy AI models using
Korean data that never leaves our infrastructure. The S3
compatibility means our developers can use familiar tools
while maintaining absolute sovereignty control.” –
Logan Lee, EVP & Head of Cloud, Kakao
Enterprise.
