MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–Confluent, Inc.<\/a> (NASDAQ:CFLT), the data streaming pioneer, announced new Confluent Cloud capabilities that help organizations easily build a secure shared services platform for data streaming. The shared services architectural model allows for efficient, cost-effective use of cloud infrastructure resources, which is especially important as businesses\u2019 budgets tighten and new competitors constantly emerge. With Confluent\u2019s newly added OAuth<\/a> support, Cloud Client Quotas<\/a>, and expanded Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC)<\/a>, businesses can unlock more real-time innovation and widespread access to data streaming without worrying about degrading application performance, increasing costs, or introducing new operational burdens.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThis year, many businesses are in a tough spot where resources are tight, but expectations for real-time experiences and operations remain high,\u201d said Shaun Clowes, Chief Product Officer at Confluent. \u201cThis release helps organizations connect and stream data from across their business in the most cost-effective and safest way possible. A secure, shared services platform for data streaming saves valuable time and resources while ensuring data and applications are safe and easily accessible across clouds.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSecurity is a first-class citizen on our platform and is included in every feature we release,\u201d said Jonathan Kropp, Director of Architecture at Extend. \u201cThe combination of Confluent\u2019s OAuth and access controls allow us to grant the least amount of access needed for each feature to do its job. This batteries-included approach to authentication and authorization has made securing Kafka simple and straightforward, allowing us to focus on building highly scalable distributed systems.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nWith the current market environment, organizations are looking to minimize costs and reduce infrastructure spending. Yet, businesses often manage hundreds of applications spread across different business units and teams, making it extremely difficult to keep operating expenses under control. Typically, each application requires dedicated resources and tuning to maintain expected performance levels. In addition, identity and access management across large numbers of individuals and applications is a substantial operational burden. Teams often need to manage identity credentials across several vendors and manually ensure that they are always in sync to provide a seamless user experience.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cBusinesses are looking for ways to efficiently run all of their applications side-by-side to help overcome rising infrastructure costs and operational burdens, and a shared services model has become essential for large businesses to scale their data platforms in a cost-effective way,\u201d said Amy Machado, Research Manager, Data Streaming Pipeline at IDC. \u201cConfluent bundling of their Client Quotas, OAuth support, and expanded Role-Based Access Controls capabilities provides enterprise-level security across services and individuals, delivering a path for organizations to expand data streaming adoption in a safe, secure, and cost-effective manner.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nA shared services model enables organizations to run multiple applications on one cluster, saving infrastructure costs and simplifying operations. With this release, Confluent Cloud makes implementing this model easier with seamless identity management integrations, stronger access controls, and precise resource utilization controls for an enterprise-wide, multi-tenant implementation. These new shared services capabilities help to run apps at the same time and cut infrastructure and authentication resource needs.\n<\/p>\n
