The data streaming pioneer will help more
companies build real-time applications faster at lower costs
through deeper partnership with Google Cloud
Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT), the data streaming pioneer, today
announced an expanded partnership with Google Cloud, and also
announced that it was named the Google Cloud Technology Partner of
the Year for Google Marketplace–Data and Analytics. Through their
long-standing partnership, Confluent and Google Cloud make it easy
for customers to connect and process real-time data flows
throughout their entire organization to power modern applications
and analytics. To help more companies access real-time insights at
scale, Confluent has deepened its partnership with Google Cloud for
expanded technical, marketing and sales investments.
“Together, Confluent and Google Cloud are helping organizations
solve their most pressing data challenges,” said Erica Schultz,
President of Field Operations, Confluent. “Through our expanded
partnership, we’ll help more customers transform their businesses
with real-time data and modernize their data platforms with a
reliable bridge from their on-premise, multi-cloud data
architectures to Google Cloud.”
“Google Cloud’s partner awards recognize the significant impact
and customer success that our partners have driven over the past
year," said Kevin Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice President, Global
Ecosystem and Channels, Google Cloud. “We’re delighted to recognize
Confluent as a 2023 Google Cloud Partner Award winner, and look
forward to a continued strong partnership in support of our mutual
customers.”
Confluent’s Extended Partnership with Google Cloud Builds on
Momentum Across Customer Success and Technical Innovations
As more companies seek to deliver personalized customer
experiences and context-rich business operations, there is a
growing demand for real-time data connectivity across diverse
locations to update applications in real time. Available through
Google Cloud Marketplace, Confluent is the connective tissue that
allows real-time data from multiple sources to constantly stream
across the organization. It feeds real-time data into best of breed
Google Cloud services such as BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage,
Dataflow, Dataproc, and VertexAI for organizations to build cutting
edge machine learning, artificial intelligence, and streaming
analytics use cases. For example, when Confluent is used with
VertexAI, customers can build powerful generative AI applications
leveraging Google Cloud’s foundational models and augmenting them
with real-time context. Also, Confluent’s fully managed data
streaming platform significantly alleviates the operational
burdens, risks and costs of managing Apache Kafka®.
“A lot of the cost savings over the last twelve months have come
from moving into a more efficient way of developing applications
with stream processing,” said Rob Contreras, Technical Architect,
Toolstation. “With Confluent’s Google Cloud integration built in,
we get consistent pricing that makes it easier—which is important,
because we have a budget, and we’re a low-margin business.”
“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’s expanded partnership with Google Cloud deepens
commitments across several focus areas and initiatives. Added
technical support will further integrations between Confluent and
Google Cloud’s data and analytics services. And, with enhanced
go-to-market resourcing, there will be more awareness of the unique
value that Confluent brings to Google Cloud customers, driving
greater alignment across sales, marketing and engineering teams.
The renewed commitment will build on the meaningful milestones
Confluent and Google Cloud have already achieved, notably:
