Why IBM Spent Billions on Confluent Acquisition | AI-Driven Data Fabric

from The Digital Shift by Kanerika · host Kanerika

In this episode, we break down why IBM’s $11 billion Confluent acquisition was really about solving fragmented enterprise data for AI. AI systems fail when data stays disconnected across platforms. That is why #AIDriven #DataFabric architectures are becoming critical for real-time enterprise AI. We also discuss how platforms like Microsoft Fabric are combining governance, streaming data, and AI agents into one connected ecosystem.
