Boomi Brings Sovereign Data Integration To Australia
The launch comes after Boomi acquired Rivery, a modern data integration provider. This underscores Boomi's strategic investment in local infrastructure and its commitment to solving Australia's most pressing data challenges.
With a Sydney-based instance of Boomi Data Integration now live, Australian organisations can deploy log-based Change Data Capture (CDC) and near-real-time Extract, Load, and Transform (ELT) pipelines entirely onshore. That means sensitive data remains within national borders, latency is reduced, and there's clear alignment with local data sovereignty laws.
'A strong addition to Boomi's data platform alongside DataHub, Boomi Data Integration brings big data capabilities to Australian and New Zealanders, all within the same no-code/low-code experience Boomi users know and trust,' said Nikolai Blackie, Co-founder, Adaptiv, an Australasian data and integration consultancy and Boomi partner.
The launch supports regulatory requirements under the Privacy Act 1988, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), and sector-specific frameworks including APRA CPS 234 and the My Health Records Act. Boomi's customers span highly regulated industries including financial services, government, education, and healthcare, all of which stand to benefit from improved compliance, confidence, and data agility.
This latest development strengthens Boomi's unified platform strategy, which aims to bring integration, API management, data management, and AI readiness under a single layer of AI-driven intelligence. It also reduces reliance on disconnected point solutions, helping customers simplify their technology stacks and accelerate digital transformation — securely and at scale.
'AI agents, predictive models, and real-time analytics all demand one thing: trusted data, delivered quickly and securely,' said David Irecki, Chief Technology Officer for Asia Pacific and Japan at Boomi. 'But in Australia, compliance is just as critical as speed, especially when you start to consider sectors like finance, government, and healthcare.'
'With local deployment of Boomi Data Integration, we're removing any compliance barriers to AI-related to data sovereignty, while giving our partners and end-users the near-real-time data capabilities they need to innovate.'

Australia picks Japan to build $10b frigates after fierce contest
By Stephen Dziedzic , ABC foreign affairs correspondent Cabinet has picked the Japanese Mogami-class frigate. Photo: ABC News / Oliver Chaseling Japanese shipbuilder Mitsubishi Heavy Industries has won a tight contest to build the Australian navy's new $10 billion fleet of warships, beating a bid from German rival Thyssen-Krupp Marine Systems. The ABC has confirmed that cabinet on Monday night selected Japan's upgraded Mogami frigate over the German MEKO A-200. The first three of the frigates are expected to be built in Japan, with the remaining eight to be built in Western Australia. It is a major victory for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and for Japan, which has thrown substantial political resources into securing the bid. The decision is also a vote of confidence in MHI, which has never built warships overseas before. Defence Minister Richard Marles said the frigates would replace Australia's ANZAC-class ships, the oldest surface combatant fleet the navy has been operating since the end of World War II. "This does represent a very significant moment in the bilateral relationship between Australia and Japan," Marles said. "This is clearly the biggest defence industry agreement that will ever have been struck between Japan and Australia. In fact, it's really one of the biggest defence exports that Japan has ever engaged in." Marles said the first would come into service by the end of this decade, closing a gap that would have otherwise meant Australia would not receive a new surface combatant until 2034, when the first of the Hunter Class vessels would arrive. Defence Minister Richard Marles said the announcement was a significant moment in the history of the Royal Australian Navy. Photo: ABC News / Courtney Withers/File Close observers of the contest say that while Japan's bid was more expensive, the Mogami frigate boasts more firepower and requires a smaller crew. Japan has also said that Australia could receive the first of the upgraded warships ahead of its own navy - which the ABC has been told helped to tip the contest in its favour. While the government insists it was making the decision on capability alone, Japan has leaned heavily on the blossoming strategic and defence relationship between the two countries as it lobbied for the contract. The United States is also believed to have backed Japan's bid. The government and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries will now begin negotiations on the contract, and will aim to finalise it this year. - ABC

Cloudera expands multi-cloud AI reach with Taikun acquisition
Cloudera has announced its acquisition of Taikun, a platform provider specialising in Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure management across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The move expands Cloudera's ability to deliver its data and AI platform across public clouds, on-premise data centres, and sovereign or air-gapped environments through a single unified control plane. The integration brings a fully integrated compute layer to Cloudera's stack, aiming to streamline deployment and operations for enterprise IT teams. Industry context According to research from Gartner, organisations implementing multi-cloud architectures often experience difficulties in connecting to, and between, different cloud providers. The research suggests that more than 50% of such organisations are expected to fall short of their intended outcomes by 2029. Australian businesses and others operating in the region face ongoing challenges related to fragmented data and application management across increasingly diverse infrastructures. Cloudera's acquisition of Taikun is positioned as a means to address these issues by simplifying operations and supporting better governed business decisions. Strategic aims The acquisition is designed to accelerate the roll-out of Cloudera's complete platform, including Data Services and support for AI, to any environment where enterprise data resides. Taikun's technology offers a container-native approach to managing data and workloads, supporting highly regulated environments such as GovCloud, Sovereign Cloud, and air-gapped data centres. Customers using the integrated Cloudera and Taikun platform will be able to deploy data and AI workloads across a variety of settings - data centres, cloud, or hybrid environments - without impacting performance or limiting their choice of deployment. The combined platform aims to provide a consistent cloud-like experience, even in complex and regulated circumstances. Operational benefits Key advantages outlined include the ability to conduct zero-downtime upgrades and optimised resource allocation, which are expected to boost operational efficiency and lower the total cost of ownership. Customers can also adopt a flexible approach to integrating a wide range of tools and databases, including those from Cloudera partners and third-party providers. The underlying architecture is intended to preserve long-term flexibility for enterprise customers, enabling future readiness as business requirements evolve. Leadership perspectives "This acquisition marks a pivotal step in our mission to bring the cloud experience wherever enterprise data resides," Charles Sansbury, Chief Executive Officer of Cloudera, said. "By integrating Taikun's container-native platform in our stack, we are removing operational barriers and enabling our customers to unlock faster insights, make smarter decisions, and drive real-time action in every corner of their business." As part of the acquisition, Taikun's engineering team will become part of Cloudera's wider engineering, product, and support organisation. Cloudera will also establish a new European development hub in the Czech Republic, reflecting Taikun's headquarters and further reinforcing Cloudera's commitment to the region. Adam Skotnicky, former Chief Executive Officer of Taikun, commented: "Our acquisition by Cloudera marks a pivotal moment for us. Our advanced cloud-native computing platform will enable customers from across the globe to deliver and deploy services and applications seamlessly, whether that's in the data centre or in multi-cloud environments. Only Cloudera is the right organisation for us to join during this critical moment for data and AI." Analyst view Sanjeev Mohan, Principal at SanjMo, addressed the broader industry implications, stating: "Organisations are suffering more than ever from fragmented data and application management across diverse infrastructures, increasing complexity, costs, and limiting data/AI initiatives." The result: compromise on workload placement and data analysis. With Cloudera's acquisition of Taikun and integration in Cloudera's platform, organisations can now run AI and analytics anywhere their data lives - from cloud to edge - accelerating insights, empowering smarter choices, and driving real-time responses throughout their organisation." Recent acquisitions This acquisition marks Cloudera's third strategic purchase within the past 14 months, following earlier acquisitions of an operational AI platform from Verta in May 2024 and Octopai's data lineage and catalogue solution in November 2024. According to the company, these acquisitions are intended to strengthen its platform and provide customers with increased flexibility on where and how they run data and AI workloads.

Cryptopia customer tried to bribe court registrar for information
A man claiming to be an affected party in the collapse of a multimillion-dollar cryptocurrency company has tried to bribe a court registrar to release information related to the case for $2 million in Bitcoin. New Zealand-based company Cryptopia was allegedly hacked in January 2019, leading to the loss of about $30m in cryptocurrency held by it in an exchange. The business tried to reopen, but customer trust was low following the hack, and it went into liquidation. Liquidators are still trying to disentangle its finances and return funds to customers where possible. In December last year, public accountancy firm Grant Thornton announced that $400 million in cryptocurrency had been returned to about 10,000 customers. Then, in June this year, the firm announced a further 2624 customers had received $50m in Bitcoin and Dogecoin. It was also preparing to launch distributions to affected customers to qualifying account holders in Cardano, Tether, Tron and Litecoin currencies. Cryptopia, founded by Adam Clark and Rob Dawson, owed IRD more than $19m and a further $22m to unsecured creditors. The accountancy firm has said it was unclear whether there would be money remaining to pay those creditors. 'I need assets returned to me' Now, a man claiming to be a creditor has applied to the High Court at Christchurch to access court documents related to the liquidation of Cryptopia. The case has been before the court since liquidators applied for a court order to sell some of Cryptopia's bitcoin to pay their own fees in liquidating the company. The documents the man requested were related to an affidavit filed in 2019 by one of the liquidators, David Ruscoe, in which he annexed two spreadsheets containing databases of commercially sensitive and confidential information relating to 960,000 of Cryptopia's account holders and their cryptocurrency holdings. The court had received the information on a USB drive. According to court documents, a court registrar inadvertently sent it to Thomas Cattermole, who runs an unincorporated enterprise called 'Cryptopia Rescue' that purports to offer help to former customers of Cryptopia. Grant Thornton then took Cattermole to court, claiming he was in contempt of court for passing the information held on that USB to third parties, and secured an injunction to stop him sharing the information further. 'Abuse of process' Any member of the public can request documents held by a court, but it's at the judge's discretion to release them. In this case, the man, emailed the Christchurch High Court registry requesting access to the confidential spreadsheet. 'I would like to seek out answers as to why the TRUSTEE / Liquidator are hiding the blockchain wallet addresses for my assets. They have breached trust law, and I would like to seek out the return of my funds. I need assets returned to me,' his email read. Grant Thornton opposed those documents being released, noting that a person by the same name was currently going through the account registration process to receive funds released by liquidators. In addition to filing a request for access to Ruscoe's affidavit, the man emailed a court registrar and said he had faced 'significant barriers' in accessing the information he was seeking. A registrar responded, identifying themselves as the case manager, and the man then replied with allegations about the conduct of the liquidators. He told the registrar that if they saw 'anything dodgy happen', to email a private email address, which he provided. 'They can't pay you, but I think they will donate 10 bitcoin to any wallet of the whistleblower's choice,' his email said. Ten Bitcoin is roughly equivalent to $2 million at the time the ruling was issued. The man also accused High Court judge, Justice Andru Isac, of holding a private teleconference with the liquidators. In a recent ruling by Justice Isac declining the man's application for the requested documents, he pointed out that the man had attempted to arrange an unlawful Bitcoin payment to a member of the court registry in exchange for information, before providing an email address to facilitate a private response. 'Given the applicant's improper attempt to solicit information from a Court officer I am satisfied the request for access to Court documents is an abuse of process,' Justice Isac said. 'The party lodging the request has not provided proof of their identity. They claim to be residing overseas. 'And as the premise of the application is the applicant's desire to be repatriated with an account held by Cryptopia, given the liquidators have an identification process available to the applicant, it is unclear why he should need access to Court documents to establish his interest in the relevant account. 'That information should already be available to him.'
