A new era of enterprise analytics is taking shape—not in the public cloud, but inside sovereign data centers, air-gapped networks, and classified environments where the most critical decisions get made.
The market is moving and the clock is ticking
Across financial services, healthcare, defense, and government, data residency and jurisdictional control are no longer optional—they're enforced. DORA took effect in January 2025. The EU Data Act followed in September 2025. The EU AI Act's high-risk obligations landed in August 2026.
The sovereign cloud market reflects this focus—projected to reach $169 billion by 2028 at 36% CAGR. Platform decisions made now will likely persist for a decade. Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped is a fully managed experience for organizations requiring complete isolation to meet stringent sovereignty and regulatory requirements. Teradata provides an enterprise analytics engine for these disconnected environments.
Solving security and compliance challenges
Regulated industries often need to process sensitive data in fully isolated environments—but traditional cloud deployments depend on continuous connectivity, creating security and compliance gaps.
Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped solves this with a completely isolated solution—no connectivity to Google Cloud or the public internet required. Organizations keep their existing infrastructure while gaining the benefits of Google Cloud capabilities wherever they are.
Teradata integrates with Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped to deliver a production-grade analytics engine that operates inside these boundaries.
Use cases that demand air-gapped analytics: Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped
Teradata on Google Distributed Cloud Air-Gapped delivers enterprise analytics across the most demanding defense and regulated-industry scenarios.
- Mission-critical intelligence and defense data platform: Teradata serves as the core data warehouse for operational reporting, mission analysis, and long-term investigations—operating in air-gapped environments as the analytical system of record where continuous cloud connectivity isn't an option.
- Training, simulation, and test and evaluation (T&E) analytics: Training exercises and test ranges generate massive volumes of sensor, telemetry, and simulation data at TB/PB scale. Teradata processes it fast—delivering after-action insights in hours instead of weeks, fully disconnected from public networks.
- Defense logistics, supply chain, and sustainment analytics: From transit delay prediction to predictive maintenance and Available-to-Promise planning, Teradata brings proven supply chain analytics to multi-year, multi-theater defense logistics—shifting operations from reactive to intelligence-driven.
