About the Round Table

Bringing AI to the Data, Not the Other Way Around

As AI adoption accelerates, organizations face a critical challenge: how to unlock innovation while maintaining full control over their data, platforms, and technology choices.

At this joint event by Cloudera and ORDIX AG, we explore what digital sovereignty means in practice. Learn how to design architectures that bring AI and workloads to the data, keep sensitive information under your control, and avoid costly vendor lock-in.

Through expert discussions, real-world architectures, and practical platform blueprints, you'll gain insights into building modern data ecosystems that combine flexibility, portability, security, and innovation without compromise.

Our Key Topics:

Building for Absolute Portability

Designing Workloads and AI Without Vendor Boundaries

Today's organizations need the freedom to run applications and AI models wherever business, compliance, or operational requirements demand. But true portability requires more than simply adopting cloud technologies. 

Discover how containerization, decoupled architectures, and modern orchestration enable workloads and AI services to run consistently across on-premises, cloud, and edge environments while reducing vendor lock-in and increasing long-term flexibility. 

Architecting True Data Sovereignty

Keeping Data Under Your Control While Unlocking AI Innovation

As regulations tighten and data volumes continue to grow, organizations must find ways to leverage AI without sacrificing control over their most valuable asset: their data.

Learn how modern data platforms bring compute and AI to the data, rather than moving sensitive information to external services. Explore architectural approaches that help ensure governance, compliance, and sovereignty while enabling innovation at scale.

Real-World Platform Blueprints

Drawing on real-world projects in highly regulated industries, ORDIX AG and Cloudera will present practical architectural patterns for designing and operating modern, distributed data platforms that balance data ownership, governance, and innovation.

The discussion will highlight how organizations can meet regulatory requirements such as DORA, MaRisk, and GDPR while enabling scalable data access, transparency, and secure collaboration across business domains.

Participants will gain insights into proven approaches for data governance, operational resilience, security, and compliance in complex enterprise environments. The session will also explore how decentralized data architectures can accelerate innovation without compromising control, trust, or regulatory adherence.
