The platform stays the same. Only who runs the infrastructure, and where it lives, changes.
Axual runs the platform for you on a European cloud provider, with 24/7 platform management included. You keep full governance and control over your streams, without running Kubernetes or Kafka yourself. Your supplier, support and data all stay in Europe.
Start with one model and add the other later with Axual Distributor.
Axual Cloud runs on a European cloud provider, operated and supported by Axual from the Netherlands. Your data, operations and support stay under European jurisdiction, so you get a managed service without depending on a non-European provider.
Whichever path you choose, you get the same platform underneath
RBAC and ABAC access control, schema management, and complete audit trails, with self-service topic and application management.
Topic-level authorization and data masking to control who sees which streams and hide sensitive fields.
Enterprise Apache Kafka built on Strimzi, with the Axual Distributor for active-active multi-cluster replication of messages, offsets, and schemas.
Produce and consume through client libraries (Java, Python, .NET), KSML, Kafka Connect connectors, and the REST Proxy.
Discover why PTSB, Logius and PostNL rely on Axual for mission-critical operations.
Yes. Axual isn't locked to one model. The Distributor replicates data between any clusters, on-premises to cloud, cloud to on-premises, or across data centers, so your topology can evolve with your business.
Yes, with either model. Self-hosted, your data stays in your own infrastructure. In Axual Cloud, it runs on a European cloud provider, operated and supported by Axual from the Netherlands.
Standard Kubernetes or Red Hat OpenShift, deployed via Helm and Terraform, on managed or self-managed clusters.
In Axual Cloud, Axual does, with 24/7 platform management. Self-hosted, your team runs upgrades through Helm and operators and connects the platform to your own monitoring. Axual Platform Support can also operate a self-hosted installation for you.
Our team consists of practitioners with hands-on experience implementing, migrating, and operating Kafka platforms across regulated industries like financial services and energy. The same team that helps you implement can carry through to ongoing support, so you're not re-explaining your setup to someone new.
No. Access control, schema management, audit trails, topic authorisation and data masking are the same everywhere. The deployment model changes who runs the infrastructure, not what the platform does.
Axual. You can run it managed in Axual Cloud on a European cloud provider, self-hosted in your own infrastructure, or both connected through the Distributor. Governance and security are identical either way.
