1. A method comprising:

  • initiating distributed computations across a plurality of data processing clusters associated with respective data zones;

    utilizing local processing results of at least a subset of the distributed computations from respective ones of the data processing clusters to generate global processing results; and

    updating at least one distributed ledger maintained by one or more of the plurality of data processing clusters to incorporate one or more blocks each characterizing at least a portion of the distributed computations;

    each of at least a subset of the data processing clusters being configured to process data from a data source of the corresponding data zone using one or more local computations of that data processing cluster to generate at least a portion of the local processing results;

    at least one of the data processing clusters being configured to apply one or more global computations to one or more of the local processing results to generate at least a portion of the global processing results;

    wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
