Cloudian, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, founded in 2011 with approximately 270 employees, reported $27.3M in revenue as of 2023. The company specializes in media cloud and storage, functioning as a developer of big data storage and management software. This software is designed to deploy independent providers of object storage systems, with its platform consolidating, managing, and protecting enterprise data, enabling corporations to analyze and manage data efficiently.
On April 21, 2026, Cloudian highlighted the ongoing trend of data repatriation, which involves moving data applications and workloads from public cloud providers back to on-premises data centers, private clouds, or alternative hosting environments. Organizations pursue this strategy to enhance cost efficiency, tighten security and sovereignty, and better align infrastructure with long-term business and regulatory requirements. This discussion followed a new Cloudian survey released on April 2, 2026, which revealed that nine in ten enterprises plan to expand their on-premises footprint. The survey further indicated that organizations are rebalancing workload placement due to rising cloud costs and data sovereignty mandates, noting that cloud migration is not a one-way door for most enterprises and they are no longer defaulting to public cloud solutions.
