Confluent Private Cloud Overview¶
Confluent Private Cloud is a core product offering from Confluent that brings cloud-native data streaming capabilities to self-managed private cloud environments. Built on the transformative advancements and proven innovations from the Confluent Cloud Kora engine, Confluent Private Cloud delivers a cloud-like architecture and experience for on-premises Kafka workloads.
Confluent Private Cloud is designed for enterprises running large Kafka deployments across multiple lines of business who need to optimize their infrastructure and operations while maintaining complete control over their data. It provides a Data Streaming Platform-as-a-Service paradigm that enables central platform teams to:
- Efficiently provision clusters across diverse workloads.

With Confluent Private Cloud, your data never leaves your private infrastructure. Advanced connectivity options ensure that only authorized internal users and systems can access clusters, with built-in features designed to facilitate governance, auditing, and advanced data protection.
Confluent Private Cloud is delivered as a comprehensive software package that provides up to 10 times more performant and reliable Kafka, along with:
