Bi-directional Distributor

Ensure data integrity across multiple clusters with near-real-time replication. The Axual Distributor continuously synchronizes messages and consumer offsets in both directions, enabling true active-active setups. This bidirectional capability becomes essential when streaming infrastructure spans multiple data centers or regions for compliance and resilience.

Security & access control

Secure multi-tenant access control with mTLS, SASL, and OAuth authentication. While basic Kafka provides security primitives, Axual delivers enterprise-grade access control that scales across teams and environments without compromising performance. Cloud platforms often simplify this complexity away, but enterprise architects need granular control over who accesses what data streams.

Connector ecosystem

Pre-built integrations for databases, message queues, and cloud services through managed Kafka Connect. Unlike cloud-managed services that limit connector options to maintain control, Axual provides access to the full Kafka Connect ecosystem while handling the operational complexity of connector management and scaling.

On-premise streaming

Deploy Axual Streaming where your data needs to be: on-premises, cloud, or hybrid environments. While major cloud providers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft push cloud-only streaming services, many organizations require on-premises capabilities for data sovereignty, regulatory compliance, or security requirements. Axual delivers modern streaming infrastructure without forcing architectural compromises.

Resilient data streaming

Kafka that scales beyond day one

Axual Streaming delivers a high-performance streaming backbone that maintains reliability at scale without sacrificing control. While DIY Kafka implementations often succeed initially, they fail when the requirements evolve. Our platform provides the operational stability, governance, and performance that enterprise architects demand from day one.

High availability architecture

Achieve 99.999% availability with active-active replication. Our Distributor ensures continuous operation with near-zero failover time.

Predictable performance

Tested configurations that maintain consistent latency under variable loads. Proven in production environments handling billions of daily events.

Dynamic resource management

Scale compute and storage independently based on workload demands. Automated rebalancing ensures optimal resource utilization without manual intervention.

Standards-based implementation

Built on Apache Kafka and Strimzi with no proprietary lock-in. Your streaming infrastructure remains portable and under control, avoiding vendor lock-in.

Multi-tenancy with isolation

Logical separation of teams and projects with shared infrastructure. Resource quotas ensure one team’s streaming workload doesn’t impact another’s performance.

“We were at a crossroads, with legacy technology preventing a solid digital transformation, and an ambitious strategy for customer centricity underlining requirements for becoming data-driven. We really needed the Axual platform to allow us to make the leap.”

"Data governance is critical at Rabobank. With Axual, we’re able to see who has permission, who owns the data, or if the owner has given permission and what the structure of the messages are.”

Axual has a clear focus on making Kafka usuable as a self-service platform. It enables teams to do their own thing in a controlled way. At the same time they provide a manageable platform on the infra side so that we can run it on-prem.

Our Architecture
European data sovereignty

Deploy streaming infrastructure that meets European regulatory requirements without performance penalties. While US cloud providers treat data sovereignty as an optional feature, Axual's architecture recognizes that GDPR, and other sector-specific compliance are fundamental requirements. This ensures your streaming data remains under your control and jurisdiction.

Instant disaster recovery

When a datacenter fails, your streaming continues. Automated failover with synchronized consumer offsets means applications resume exactly where they left off: no data loss, no manual recovery procedures. The Distributor’s continuous replication ensures your backup clusters are always current, turning disaster recovery from a complex orchestration into automatic continuity.

Future-proof streaming architecture

Open standards protect your streaming infrastructure through technology cycles. Apache Kafka at the core means not proprietary lock-in and no forced migrations when architectural patterns shift. Your producers and consumers continue to work whether you are running on-premise today or multi-cloud tomorrow. The same event streams that power your monoliths now will feed your microservices later.
