Data streaming platform Confluent Inc has extended its partnership with Google Cloud. This will facilitate customers in connecting and processing real-time data flows throughout their entire organisation to power modern applications and analytics. After the collaboration, the company will be able to provide its consumers with real-time data and insights.
The company is also named the Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year for Google Marketplace–Data and Analytics.
“Google Cloud’s partner awards recognise the significant impact and customer success that our partners have driven over the past year," said Kevin Ichhpurani, corporate vice president of global ecosystem and channels at Google Cloud. "We're delighted to recognise Confluent as a 2023 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, and look forward to a continued strong partnership in support of our mutual customers."
“Together, Confluent and Google Cloud are helping organisations solve their most pressing data challenges,” said Erica Schultz, president of field operations at Confluent. “Through our expanded partnership, we’ll help more customers transform their businesses with real-time data and modernise their data platforms with a reliable bridge from their on-premise, multi-cloud data architectures to Google Cloud.”
"We spent a lot of time managing our own brokers and databases and wanted to offload some of that. Confluent Cloud was the clear choice for us," says Jack Butler, software architect Cargo Signal. "Getting Confluent Cloud on Google Cloud Marketplace was a big win for us. It removed our infrastructure concerns, frees us to focus on all aspects of our Kafka integrations, and increased our general speed as a business."
Confluent was a founding member of the Google Data Cloud Alliance to ensure global businesses have more seamless access and insights into the data required for digital transformation. It was also a launch partner for Google Cloud Sovereign Solutions to help increase customer control and transparency for sensitive data moving to the cloud.
