REASONS TO BELIEVE

Go “Enterprise” and get access to premium capabilities for mission critical clusters

Tiered Storage

Breakthrough shadow indexing architecture for efficiently managing large amounts of data. Use of cloud object stores for long term retention keeps cost to a minimum.

Remote Read Replicas

“CDN” for your streaming data! Cherry-pick topics from operational clusters and serve them from analytics clusters without duplicating data and without additional software.

Continuous cluster balancing

Ongoing redistribution of data and leadership across nodes enables clusters to self-manage and self-heal, preventing performance hotspots without administrative burden.

Secure access management

Manage user access and permissions for the Redpanda Console user interface using your enterprise identity provider, and enable secure Kerberos authentication to the Redpanda platform.

24x7 support

Get peace of mind by partnering with our global engineering and support team, with a designated account manager, and the access to hotfixes to address any critical issue.

We needed a simple solution that we could also deploy on-premises behind a customer’s firewall, and that’s what Redpanda allowed us to do. It’s reliable, my developers love it, and we know that it’s going to work in the field.

CTO, Acres Manufacturing

"With Redpanda’s tiered storage capability, we can save up to 30% or more of our storage costs"

Chip Turner
Engineering Director, Lacework

"Redpanda was able to handle the same load on far less resources than Kafka required. It was 5 to 6 times more efficient, greatly reducing our hardware costs as well as support and licensing costs."
