Description

This IDC Market Note discusses Confluent's Current 2025 event, held in Bengaluru on March 19, 2025. Key technology highlights included the general availability of Tableflow, which offers the ability to easily convert Apache Kafka data and associated schemas to Apache Iceberg and Delta tables, the introduction of several new features in Apache Flink to enhance real-time data processing and AI integration, and the highlighting of the Oracle XStream Change Data Capture Source Connector, which provides a fast and reliable way to stream real-time data from Oracle databases to modern platforms. The event also featured multiple customer success stories."Real-time data streaming has become a critical sink for AI applications, providing the continuous, up-to-the-second information flow necessary for accurate and responsive AI decision making. With advancements in technologies Tableflow and Apache Flink, alongside the focus on agents and retrieval-augmented generation, there is a clear trend toward operationalizing AI with live data. Although the potential for enhanced real-time applications is evident, the practical implementation and long-term impact of these technologies will depend on user adoption and the evolving AI landscape," says Swapnil Shende, associate research manager, IDC Asia/Pacific.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
