Imagine a world where your sensitive data moves effortlessly between clouds – secure, private, and far from the prying eyes of the public internet. Today, we’re making that world a reality with the launch of Cloudera Private Link Network.
Organizations are continuously seeking ways to enhance their data security. One of the challenges is ensuring that data remains protected as it traverses different cloud environments. Cloud provider solutions like AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link are a step in the right direction, but they often fall short of providing a comprehensive solution across multiple clouds.
Cloudera Private Link Network is designed to provide seamless, private connectivity between your cloud workloads and the Cloudera Control Plane. Cloudera Private Link Network ensures that data never leaves your secure, private network, even across multiple cloud environments, offering peace of mind in an increasingly privacy-conscious climate.
Why Cloudera Private Link Network?
As industries like financial services, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals continue to navigate strict data privacy policies, the need for secure, private connectivity has never been more critical. Cloudera Private Link Network addresses these concerns head-on by providing a unified, cross-cloud private connectivity service that goes well beyond what’s currently available.
- Integrated Solution: Whether you’re connecting workloads in AWS or Azure, Cloudera Private Link Network provides a seamless, integrated solution that eliminates the need for multiple vendor-specific solutions.
- Better Security Posture: Cloudera Private Link Network ensures that your data remains within a secure, private network, significantly reducing the attack surface. This is particularly crucial for highly regulated industries where even the slightest data exposure can have serious consequences.
- Reduced Network/CloudOps Load: By utilizing the Cloudera Private Link Network, you free your network and CloudOps teams from having to design, test, deploy, manage, and monitor multi-cloud connectivity. These teams can spend their time on more strategic work.
- Lower TCO: Unlike point solutions that require you to pay for individual, atomic links on a per link basis, with Private Link Network, you pay to access the network on a per-VPC or per-account basis. The pricing is based on consumption so you only pay for what you use. Ease of management also results in lower operational costs.
- Network Performance: With Cloudera Private Link Network, security doesn’t come at the cost of network performance. Your operations remain smooth and efficient, even as your data remains fully protected.
Cloudera Private Link Network is a game changer for industries where data privacy is paramount. Here’s a sample of how it’s making a difference:
- Financial Services: For financial institutions managing large volumes of sensitive customer and financial data, Cloudera Private Link Network enables secure connectivity while ensuring compliance with regulations and policies by keeping data off of the public internet.
- Pharmaceuticals: Pharmaceutical companies need to integrate sensitive data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), across the R&D pipeline to accelerate the development of life-saving medications. Cloudera Private Link Network provides a secure environment where teams can integrate and analyze sensitive information without fear of exposing that data outside the organization.
- Healthcare: Healthcare providers are under pressure to leverage data to deliver patient centricity and a continuum of care . Cloudera Private Link Network enables providers to build a proactive, data-driven healthcare experience while maintaining strict privacy standards, reducing the risk of data loss and ensuring data privacy.
At Cloudera, we understand that ease of use is just as important as security. That’s why Cloudera Private Link Network is designed to be user friendly and flexible, with two deployment options to suit your organization’s needs. Customers can turn on these options using the Cloudera Command Line Interface (CLI), enabling this functionality on demand.
- VPC Option: This option is ideal for organizations that prefer to use Cloudera’s CLI for a complete setup, offering end-to-end control and management.
- Authorization Option: This option is perfect for customers who want to integrate Cloudera Private Link Network with their existing cloud automation tools, such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation, without the need for cross-account permissions.
Pricing
Securing your cloud infrastructure shouldn’t come with hidden costs. That’s why Cloudera Private Link Network uses a consumption-based pricing model, ensuring that you only pay for what you use. This approach provides transparency and predictability, enabling organizations to scale their use of Private Link Network according to their needs, whether it’s for single cloud virtual networks or entire Cloudera accounts that span multiple cloud accounts.
