Data streaming company Confluent has made its cloud platform available through Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace, targeting businesses looking to build more intelligent AI agents. The move aims to solve a critical problem: AI agents struggling with outdated or disconnected data.
Breaking Down Data Barriers
AI agents require continuous access to up-to-date, accurate information to function effectively. Without it, they deliver poor results or fail to succeed. Confluent’s solution streams data in real-time across entire organizations, creating a unified information backbone that AI systems can tap into instantly.
“Data silos are the single biggest barrier to making AI agents truly enterprise-ready,” said Shaun Clowes, Confluent’s Chief Product Officer. The company’s platform replaces slow, outdated batch processing systems with continuously updating data streams.
Streamlined Purchasing Process
The AWS Marketplace integration streamlines the process of purchasing and deploying AI solutions. Customers can now purchase Confluent Cloud using their existing AWS accounts, eliminating the need for lengthy vendor negotiations and complex procurement processes.
This centralized approach gives businesses better control over licensing, payments, and access management through familiar AWS tools. The streamlined process significantly reduces the time needed to evaluate vendors and implement AI solutions.
Real-Time Data for Smarter AI
Confluent Cloud processes and governs data as it flows through businesses in real-time. This creates a shared data foundation that multiple AI agents can subscribe to and interact with simultaneously. The platform enables organizations to build more intelligent and adaptable AI applications faster.
As companies race to adopt AI technology, this partnership provides a trusted platform for scaling AI operations. By ensuring AI agents have access to current, reliable data, businesses can confidently deploy AI solutions across their operations without worrying about data quality issues.
