Cloudera Advances Unified Data Access and Governance with AI-Powered Federation and Lineage

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cloudera, the only company bringing AI to data anywhere, today announced a major platform update that integrates Trino, Cloudera Shared Data Experience (SDX), and Cloudera Octopai Data Lineage to deliver unified data access, control, smarter governance, and lineage across the entire data estate. With the power of AI–driven automation and intelligence, enterprises can now seamlessly discover, govern, and access all their data, wherever it resides.

As enterprises accelerate their AI initiatives, data accessibility remains a key barrier to success. According to a recent survey, only 9% of IT leaders report that all of their organization’s data is accessible, with just 38% saying that most of their data is usable for AI. For most organizations, data is often trapped in disparate systems with fragmented governance and security policies. This update empowers organizations to unite data silos, securely enable self–service access, and automate governance workflows for improved efficiency and trust in their data without ever moving their data. With Trino’s federation capabilities, enterprises can securely query distributed data using natural language interfaces and the power of the engines closest to the data. At the same time, Cloudera’s centralized governance helps to ensure consistent access control and compliance across all environments.

Built with AI at its core, Cloudera’s platform automates critical data fabric operations, including data quality checks, classification, and profiling. It also provides natural language access to enterprise data, democratizing data usage across both technical and non–technical teams. With this update, Cloudera customers can deploy Trino in data centers or public clouds and federate data across multiple systems using certified connectors. The integration with SDX unifies metadata and access controls, simplifying management and enabling secure, self–service data access. By unifying metadata, access controls, governance, and security across the entire enterprise, Cloudera delivers a single, secure endpoint to access all data—across multiple engines, clouds, and on–premises environments—without duplicating security or access policies. Additionally, Cloudera Octopai Data Lineage tracks the end–to–end journey of data, delivering transparency and trust for all data transformations, including data originating outside the Cloudera ecosystem.

Through this AI–infused architecture, Cloudera enables enterprises to:

  • Boost efficiency through automation of data fabric operations such as cleansing and classification.
  • Democratize access with natural language interfaces for intuitive data interaction.
  • Improve trust and transparency through intelligent metadata collection and end–to–end data lineage.

“Our mission at Cloudera has always been to empower enterprises to make trusted data available for every AI initiative,” said Leo Brunnick, Chief Product Officer, Cloudera. “With this release, we’re taking a major step forward, bringing AI–powered automation, governance, and access together under one platform. Enterprises can now securely harness all their data anywhere to accelerate innovation and drive better business outcomes.”

UPAD lanciert „Rakija Gate“ – das erste Anti-Bot-Protokoll des Balkans – während des am stärksten attackierten Konzertvorverkaufs in der Geschichte der Region


			
		

		
				



		
ZAGREB, Kroatien, Nov.  17, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UPAD, das progressive, Fintech–getriebene Ticketing–Infrastruktur–Start–up, hat „Rakija Pit“ ausgerollt – ein kulturell codiertes Anti–Automatisierungs­signal, das Bots während stark nachgefragter Ticketverkäufe erkennen und isolieren soll.


Rakija Gate wurde erstmals beim Vorverkauf für ein Konzert der aktuell größten jungen Sängerin der Region, Aleksandra Prijović, aktiviert. Die von Extra FM organisierte Vorverkaufsphase verzeichnete dabei die bislang komplexeste Bot–Aktivität in der Geschichte des regionalen Markts.


Binnen Minuten identifizierte UPADs Behaviour Engine maschinell erzeugte Kaufmuster, die weit über den üblichen Schwellenwerten lagen. Statt automatisierten Sessions zu erlauben, mit echten Fans zu konkurrieren, wurde der verdächtige Traffic in eine separate Quarantäne–Lane umgeleitet – einen internen Mechanismus, den das Engineering–Team Rakija Pit nennt.Dort können automatisierte Sessions so lange „tanzen“, wie sie möchten – erreichen jedoch nie den Checkout. Echte Fans hingegen gelangen ganz normal bis zum Checkout.


Der Name spielt auf einen gemeinsamen Balkanhumor an:


Nur echte Menschen überstehen Rakija – automatisierte Systeme haben keine Chance.


Dort können automatisierte Sessions so lange „tanzen“, wie sie möchten – erreichen jedoch nie den Checkout. Echte Fans hingegen gelangen ganz normal bis zum Checkout.


Hinter dem Scherz steckt jedoch eine technologisch fortgeschrittene Ebene infrastruktureller Logik, wie sie eher in moderner Fintech–Architektur als im regionalen Ticketing zu finden ist.


Während die meisten Plattformen in der EU Bot–Traffic als unvermeidlichen Störfaktor hinnehmen, positioniert UPAD den Rakija Pit als Teil einer neuen Integritätsschicht für den Zugang zu Live–Events. Da die Balkanmärkte zunehmend globale Nachfragewellen widerspiegeln, betrachtet UPAD infrastrukturelle Fairness als essenziell.


Um einen neuen Standard für Transparenz zu setzen, wird UPAD einen öffentlichen Event Digest veröffentlichen – inklusive anonymisierter Metriken wie Warteschlangen­zusammensetzung, Erfolgsraten bei Käufen, Anomalie–Quarantänen und Gesamtscores zur Systemintegrität.


„Das ist es, was Künstler, Veranstalter und Fans verdienen“, sagt M.M. „Keine Geheimnisse. Keine Spekulationen. Echte Zahlen. Echte Fairness. Echte Präsenz.“

Mit einer visuellen Sprache, die von minimalistischem Systemdesign inspiriert ist, und einer Philosophie, die sich um Be Present dreht, möchte UPAD die Art und Weise weiterentwickeln, wie Live–Events verkauft, bewertet und erlebt werden.

UPAD inaugure « Rakija Gate », le premier protocole anti-robot des Balkans, lors de la vente de billets de concert la plus attaquée de lʼhistoire de cette région du globe


			
		

		
				



		
ZAGREB, Croatie,  17 nov. 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UPAD, la start–up innovante spécialisée dans les infrastructures de billetterie basées sur les technologies financières, a déployé « Rakija Pit », un signal anti–automatisation codé culturellement, créé pour identifier et mettre en quarantaine les robots lors de la mise en vente de billets à forte demande.


Rakija Gate a été mise en service pour la première fois lors de la vente des billets du concert du Nouvel An de la jeune chanteuse régionale Aleksandra Prijović, organisée par Extra FM, attirant le plus grand nombre de robots jamais enregistré dans la région.


En quelques minutes, le moteur algorithmique dʼUPAD a détecté des schémas dʼachat générés par des machines bien supérieurs aux seuils habituels. Au lieu de laisser les sessions automatisées concurrencer les véritables fans, le trafic suspect était acheminé vers une voie de quarantaine séparée, un mécanisme interne que lʼéquipe dʼingénieurs désigne sous le nom de Rakija Pit. Cʼest ici que les sessions automatisées peuvent danser aussi longtemps quʼelles le souhaitent, mais sans jamais passer à la caisse. Pendant ce temps, les authentiques fans poursuivent sur leur lancée.


Ce nom reflète une facette de lʼhumour typique des Balkans :


seuls les véritables humains survivent à la rakija. Les systèmes automatisés, eux, nʼont aucune chance.


Cʼest ici que les sessions automatisées peuvent danser aussi longtemps quʼelles le souhaitent, mais sans jamais passer à la caisse. Pendant ce temps, les authentiques fans poursuivent sur leur lancée.


Derrière ces plaisanteries se cache une structure technologique avancée, plus courante dans le domaine des technologies financières modernes que dans celui de la billetterie régionale.


Alors que la plupart des plateformes de lʼUE considèrent le trafic des robots comme une nuisance inévitable, UPAD positionne Rakija Pit comme une structure innovante en matière dʼintégrité pour lʼaccès aux événements en direct. Alors que les marchés des Balkans commencent à répercuter les fluctuations de la demande mondiale, UPAD considère comme essentielle lʼéquité en matière dʼinfrastructures.


Afin dʼétablir une nouvelle norme en matière de transparence, UPAD publiera un résumé public des événements, comprenant des indicateurs anonymisés tels que la composition des files dʼattente, les taux de réussite des achats, les quarantaines pour anomalies et les scores dʼintégrité dans leur ensemble.


« Voilà ce que méritent les artistes, les organisateurs et les fans », a déclaré M.M. « Pas de mystère. Pas de spéculation. Des chiffres concrets. Une véritable équité. Une présence sans failles. »

À propos dʼUPAD


UPAD est une entreprise à forte croissance spécialisée dans les infrastructures de billetterie développant les bases technologiques nécessaires à la mise en place dʼexpériences scéniques équitables et transparentes dans les Balkans et le reste du monde. UPAD intègre une architecture moderne des sièges, un système de notation du comportement et des dispositifs de suivi de présence afin de garantir la sécurité des artistes et des fans contre toute intervention automatisée. Avec un langage visuel inspiré du design minimaliste et une philosophie fondée sur Un esprit de présence, UPAD vise à améliorer la manière dont les événements en direct sont vendus, évalués et vécus.

UPAD lança o “Rakija Gate” — primeiro protocolo antibots dos Bálcãs — durante a venda de ingressos mais disputada da história da região


			
		

		
				



		
ZAGREB, Croácia, Nov.  17, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UPAD, a startup de infraestrutura de venda de ingressos em rápido crescimento, lançou o “Rakija Pit”, um mecanismo de detecção de bots com inteligência cultural, criado para identificar e isolar sistemas automatizados durante lançamentos de alta demanda.


O Rakija Gate entrou em ação pela primeira vez durante a abertura de vendas do Réveillon da jovem estrela regional Aleksandra Prijović, promovido pela Extra FM, enfrentando um dos maiores volumes de bots já registrados na região.


Em poucos minutos, o sistema da UPAD identificou que muitas compras estavam sendo realizadas por máquinas, muito além do esperado para fãs de verdade. Em vez de permitir que sistemas automatizados competissem com fãs de verdade, o tráfego suspeito foi direcionado para uma fila de quarentena separada — um mecanismo interno que a equipe de engenharia chama de Rakija Pit. Lá, os sistemas automatizados podem “ficar à vontade” o quanto quiserem, mas nunca conseguem concluir a compra. Enquanto isso, os fãs reais continuam avançando normalmente.


O nome brinca com um humor típico dos Bálcãs:


apenas humanos de verdade sobrevivem à rakija — sistemas automatizados não têm chance.


Lá, os sistemas automatizados podem “ficar à vontade” o quanto quiserem, mas nunca conseguem concluir a compra. Enquanto isso, os fãs reais continuam avançando normalmente.


Por trás da brincadeira, há uma camada tecnológica avançada, mais comum em fintechs modernas do que em plataformas tradicionais de venda de ingressos.


Enquanto a maioria das plataformas na UE trata o tráfego de bots como um incômodo inevitável, a UPAD posiciona o Rakija Pit como parte de uma nova camada de integridade para acesso a eventos ao vivo. À medida que os mercados dos Bálcãs passam a acompanhar ondas de demanda globais, a UPAD vê a justiça na infraestrutura como essencial.


Para estabelecer um novo padrão de transparência, a UPAD publicará um Relatório Público do Evento, incluindo métricas anônimas como a composição das filas, as taxas de sucesso de compra, as quarentenas de anomalias e as pontuações gerais de integridade.


“É isso que artistas, organizadores e fãs merecem”, declarou M.M. “Sem mistério. Sem especulação. Números reais. Acesso real. Presença real.”

UPAD Launches “Rakija Gate” – The First Balkan Anti-Bot Protocol – During the Most Attacked Concert On-Sale in Regional History


			
		

		
				



		
ZAGREB, Croatia, Nov.  16, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — UPAD, the progressive, fintech–driven ticketing infrastructure startup, has deployed “Rakija Pit”, a culturally–coded anti–automation signal created to identify and quarantine bots during high–demand ticket launches.


Rakija Gate was activated for the first time ever during the New Year’s Eve sale for the biggest young regional singer Aleksandra Prijović, organised by Extra FM, drawing the highest complexities of bot traffic the region has ever recorded.


Within minutes, UPAD’s behaviour engine detected machine–generated purchase patterns far above normal thresholds. Instead of allowing automated sessions to compete with real fans, suspicious traffic was routed into a separate quarantine lane – an internal mechanism the engineering team calls the Rakija Pit. It's where automated sessions can dance as long as they want – but they never reach checkout. Meanwhile, real fans keep moving forward.


The name reflects a piece of shared Balkan humour:


only real humans survive rakija – automated systems don’t stand a chance.


It’s where automated sessions can dance as long as they want — but they never reach checkout. Meanwhile, real fans keep moving forward.


Behind the jokes sits a tech–forward layer of infrastructural logic more commonly found in modern fintech than in regional ticketing.


While most platforms in the EU treat bot traffic as an inevitable nuisance, UPAD is positioning Rakija Pit as part of a new integrity layer for live–event access. As Balkan markets begin mirroring global demand waves, UPAD sees infrastructural fairness as essential.


To set a new standard for transparency, UPAD will publish a public Event Digest, including anonymized metrics such as queue composition, purchase success rates, anomaly quarantines, and overall integrity scores.


“This is what artists, organisers, and fans deserve,” said M.M. “Not mystery. Not speculation. Actual numbers. Actual fairness. Actual presence.”

Technology leader celebrates its permanent presence in Riyadh following nearly two years of embedded partnership with Riyadh Air


Regional HQ supports travel commerce transformation across Saudi Arabia, creating new opportunities for local talent


RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov.  13, 2025  (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FLYR, the leading provider of next–generation travel retailing technology known as ‘Offer & Order’, helping major airlines and travel suppliers become modern retailers, today announced the opening of its regional headquarters in Saudi Arabia, formalizing the company's existing presence in the Kingdom. This milestone follows nearly two years of close collaboration with Riyadh Air, during which FLYR has deployed over 200 team members to support the airline's launch as the world's first full–service carrier operating without legacy technologies that hold it back.


Since inception, FLYR has raised $500 million to accelerate its mission of modernizing travel commerce globally, investing much of that sum in its groundbreaking engagement with Riyadh Air and the foundation it will provide to other major airlines. The establishment of a regional headquarters in Riyadh reflects the company's commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals. The move positions FLYR to deploy its transformative technology across travel retailers in the Kingdom, enabling unified cross–selling and cross–servicing across travel, experiences, accommodations, and services.


“Being embedded with Riyadh Air in the Kingdom has been nothing short of extraordinary,” said Alex Mans, Founder and CEO of FLYR, who recently attended the Future Investment Initiative conference in Riyadh. “At Riyadh Air, we're not just building an airline–as incredible as that opportunity is–we're contributing to Vision 2030's transformation of the Kingdom and its tourism drive. Being part of a project of that scale and ambition is exhilarating for me and the whole team.“


From a Pioneering Airline to Kingdom–wide Travel Ecosystem


The Riyadh Air program represents the premier example of transforming airlines into modern retailers through Offer & Order technology spearheaded by IATA and now brought to life by FLYR. Unlike legacy airline systems that are limited to rigid, flight–only transactions, FLYR's platform enables true retail flexibility and operational efficiency, allowing airlines to bundle products dynamically, personalize offerings, and create seamless customer experiences across all touchpoints.


FLYR's platform enables a unified shopping cart experience where travelers build complete journeys — selecting flights, choosing hotels, booking activities, and purchasing services from multiple providers — all within a single, embedded experience that requires no redirects to other brands or platforms. Airlines expand the scope of products they can sell, regional retailers gain access to customers during the booking flow, and travelers maintain one place to manage their entire trip and add services as needed throughout their journey.


“This unified commerce approach has transformative potential for Saudi Arabia's tourism sector,” added Mans. “Imagine a traveler booking a complete Saudi experience – flights on Riyadh Air, accommodations through local hospitality partners, cultural experiences through the Saudi Tourism Authority, and transportation services – accessed through a unified shopping cart that’s present wherever customers want to buy. That's the future we're building.“


Partnering to Build Saudi Arabia as a Global Aviation Hub


Evidencing FLYR's commitment to Saudi Arabia's transformation, CEO Alex Mans recently joined airline CEOs Ed Bastian of Delta Air Lines, Tony Douglas of Riyadh Air, and His Excellency Engr. Ibrahim Aiomar of Saudia for a private forum assembled by the Public Investment Fund (PIF).


Hosted by PIF Senior Directors Raid bin Abdullah Ismail and Muhammad Ovais Yousuf, the meeting focused on the future of aviation and tourism in the country, coinciding with Delta's announcement of new direct flights from the U.S. to Riyadh.


“The vision for Saudi Arabia's aviation future is exceptionally bold and exciting,” said Rafat Ali, CEO of Skift, who moderated the session. “Bringing it to life will require exactly the kind of forward–thinking leadership we saw in that room. These are executives willing to challenge conventions and build something transformative.“


Co–Location Has Accelerated Innovation and Delivery


“There's no substitute for being in the same room when you're building something this transformative,” said Barry Rodgers, VP of Program Delivery at FLYR. “Working side–by–side with the Riyadh Air team every day allows us to move at the speed this project demands. We can solve challenges and pivot toward opportunities immediately. This level of collaboration and embedded partnership is what makes ambitious timelines achievable.“


Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air, added: “At Riyadh Air, innovation is at the core of everything we do. We are not just launching an airline; we are launching a new era of air travel. Our partnership with FLYR empowers us to harness the latest technologies to deliver a truly personalized and seamless travel experience, exceeding expectations at every step of the journey and offering our guests a virtually unlimited range of options at every touchpoint.”
