Confluent Amazon has announced a Strategic Partnership Agreement (SCA) with Web Services (AWS) to help companies accelerate their journey to the cloud with real-time data.
“In order to improve in the modern world, companies need to tap into their data as it is created,” said Erica Schultz, president of Field Operations, Confluent. “At the same time, they have more data than ever before and it’s spread across every aspect of their business. Through our collaboration with AWS – which has been significantly improved through this new agreement – we are making it easy for customers to unlock dynamic data everywhere so they can create real-time applications that enable analytical and operational workloads across cloud and hybrid environments. “
Stephen Urban, General Manager of AWS Marketplace and Control Services, AWS, said: “Our focus on working collaboratively with customers is enhancing our collaboration with Confluent.” “Our expanded strategic collaboration allows customers to quickly transfer real-time streaming data workloads to the cloud with Confluent Cloud in AWS.”
Companies want to accelerate digital ventures and reduce operational costs as they move to the cloud. For these projects to be successful, companies need a cloud-native platform for dynamic data. Data infrastructure can collect and process a continuous flow of data from any source across the company, helping teams use relevant data for rapid innovation. The close relationship between Confluent and AWS will help companies unlock their AWS services with real-time data-rich customer experiences and improve backend operations.
Anush Kumar, Vice President, Expedia Group’s Intelligent Services, said, “Due to the dynamic nature of the travel industry, we need to build our apps in a modern infrastructure that is highly scalable, highly available and easy to use. “Confluent Cloud at AWS enables us to handle 40X traffic spikes without any downtime and provides a more scalable, easy-to-manage and event-driven platform that significantly improves our communication with customers.”
Jeff Range, Vice President of Product Management and Technology at Amway, said, “Every growing data subject that we publish or use with Confluence enhances our ability to decouple our platforms and increase our transformation speed.” It’s getting more expensive because it’s running smoothly between applications, not waiting in a database to be processed in batches. “
“Affiliates and AWS have helped us modernize our legacy system and achieve a level that was not possible before,” said Patrick Franz, senior director of engineering at Sunpower. “Using a fully managed cloud solution, Sunpower has full visibility into our 6 million IoT devices in our fleet. Real-time data enables us to create digital solutions that save homeowners money from optimizing their home’s energy use by interacting with renewable energy. By
Confluent Cloud is available in the AWS Marketplace and runs on AWS to integrate management, security and billing.
