Confluent – Creating the Foundational Platform for Data-In-Motion

Confluent – Creating the Foundational Platform for Data-In-Motion

Every byte of data has a story to tell, something of significance that will inform the next thing to be done. In a data-driven enterprise, how the data moved becomes nearly as important as the data itself. With greater speed and agility, data’s value increases exponentially. Many companies adopt the cloud, they may discover that migrating to the cloud is not a simple, one-time project - it's a much harder task than building new cloud-native applications. Keeping the old legacy stack and the new cloud applications in sync, with a single cohesive global information system is critical.

Confluent is one such firm that is primarily focusing on building an event streaming platform to help other companies get easy access to enterprise data as the real-time stream is Confluent. It is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion.  Its cloud-native offering is the foundational platform for data in motion—designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organization.  With Confluent, its customers can meet the new business imperative of delivering rich, digital customer experiences and real-time business operations.
