IBM Corporation has reached an agreement to purchase Confluent, which develops solutions for processing streaming data based on the open-source platform Apache Kafka. Confluent was founded in 2014 by the creators of the Apache Kafka platform and, after going public in 2021, achieved a market capitalization of $10 billion. The deal with IBM will amount to $11 billion ($31 per share). Notably, the Apache Kafka platform was originally created by LinkedIn as an internal product, which was opened up and handed over to the Apache Foundation in 2011. In 2016, LinkedIn's service was acquired by Microsoft for $26 billion. <\/p>\n
Upon completion of the transaction, Confluent will continue to operate as a separate division and maintain its brand. Together with IBM, there are plans to create a data processing platform optimized for deploying AI solutions, enabling real-time streaming data processing and simplifying access to data in clouds and microservices. The platform will support application integration, analytics platforms, AI agents, and data storage and processing systems to enhance functionality and resilience in hybrid cloud environments. \n Source: opennet.ru<\/a> <\/p>","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
