US-based Confluent opens Middle East HQ in Dubai

US-based full-scale data streaming platform, Confluent has inaugurated its Middle East headquarters in Dubai, establishing a regional presence with dedicated teams offering sales, solution engineering, professional services, customer success, and channel functions.

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Fred Crehan, Confluent Middle East Regional Director stated that “The continuous collection and delivery of data across the digital enterprise – what we refer to as ‘data in motion’ – underpins all digital initiatives, be it the modernization of IT, adoption of AI, utilization of analytics, or migration to the cloud. UAE organizations recognize that unlocking the full potential of real-time data will empower them to pioneer compelling digital services for the discerning modern consumer.”

“For this reason, the open-source distributed event streaming platform, Apache Kafka, is rapidly becoming a must-have component in the IT infrastructures of UAE businesses. However, with all but the largest of organizations being incapable of having dedicated, in-house Kafka experts, typically businesses must find ways to leverage this essential technology without being restricted by technical complexity, and management overheads. At Confluent, we’re delivering unmatched speed and simplicity to organizations that depend on this infrastructure by offering fully managed Kafka services that are purpose-built for the modern enterprise,” Mr. Crehan added.
