Cloudera’s secure, scalable platform will now power BNI’s next phase of digital transformation, enabling real-time insights, advanced machine learning, and cross-agency collaboration
Cloudera and Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) are deepening their partnership to scale up artificial intelligence (AI) innovation across the enterprise. By leveraging Cloudera’s open, hybrid data platform, BNI is streamlining its AI supply chain, bringing together data ingestion, governance, analytics, and machine learning into a single cohesive environment.
BNI is among the first adopters of Cloudera AI Inferencing, built on NVIDIA NIM microservices. This on-premises service enables secure, reliable deployment of open-source large language models (LLMs) on NVIDIA accelerated computing—empowering BNI to scale generative AI securely while maintaining full control over sensitive data. Full deployment is expected by the end of 2025, with BNI working closely with Cloudera and NVIDIA technology to ensure performance, compliance, and resilience at every step.
“We are proud to be among the first financial institutions adopting Cloudera’s AI Inference service. This technology gives us the infrastructure to scale our generative AI ambitions securely and efficiently, while staying compliant with Indonesia’s evolving regulatory landscape.”
