New capabilities in Tableflow strengthen real-time data integration for analytics and AI across hybrid environments
Confluent, the global pioneer in data streaming, has launched Confluent Private Cloud in the Middle East, bringing cloud-native simplicity, automation, and performance to private on-premises infrastructure. The solution is designed for heavily regulated sectors that require the security and control of on-prem systems while seeking the scale, agility, and ease of use of the public cloud.
With Confluent Private Cloud now generally available in the region, enterprises can run high-performance streaming data workloads without the operational burden typically associated with scaling Apache Kafka® on-prem. The platform centralizes governance, simplifies deployment, and ensures unified compliance—enabling organisations to accelerate real-time decision-making and innovation.
Shaun Clowes, Chief Product Officer at Confluent, emphasized the value for regulated industries: “The challenge is that strict regulations can make it harder to scale data streaming across the business. With Confluent Private Cloud, you get the best of both worlds—the agility and simplicity of the cloud with the security and control of your own private infrastructure.”
“Real-time data is the key to unlocking business growth—and organisations shouldn’t have to choose between agility and regulatory control.” — Shaun Clowes, Chief Product Officer, Confluent
Built for large-scale, mission-critical environments, Confluent Private Cloud reduces troubleshooting and operational overhead, allowing technology teams to focus on building real-time applications, customer experiences, and services that directly impact business outcomes.
Tableflow Enhancements Bring Streaming and Analytics Together
Confluent also announced major enhancements to Confluent Tableflow, including general availability of integrations with Delta Lake and Databricks Unity Catalog, alongside early access support for Microsoft OneLake. These updates make Tableflow one of the most complete, governed, and reliable stream-to-table offerings for enterprises operating across hybrid and multicloud setups.
By seamlessly connecting real-time data from Kafka to lakehouses with enterprise-grade governance, Tableflow enables organisations to simplify analytics pipelines, improve data reliability, accelerate AI readiness, and enhance security.
Clowes added: “With Tableflow, we are closing the gap between streaming and analytics. High-quality data can now flow directly into governed lakehouses the moment it’s created.”
With these announcements, Confluent strengthens its position as a strategic data infrastructure partner for Middle Eastern enterprises building intelligent, real-time, AI-powered businesses.
