High Performance, Secure Kafka Streaming

uLinga for Kafka provides a range of options to securely stream your valuable data to and from Kafka.  With both Producer and Consumer functionality, and a range of APIs and access methods, you can quickly and easily integrate your applications and data with your Kafka infrastructure.  Data transformation allows you to manipulate data as it’s produced to Kafka, or consumed from Kafka, making your application data even more accessible.

uLinga for Kafka

uLinga for Kafka provides a range of options to stream data to and from Kafka. Available for HPE Nonstop, Windows, Linux and POSIX systems.

What Makes It Special

Connectivity

Native support for Kafka TCP/IP protocols ensures low latency and excellent performance

Reduced Cost

Remove the need for internal staff to maintain complex in-house Kafka solutions

Security

uLinga for Kafka supports TLS for encryption of data being sent to Kafka, and also a number of Kafka authentication options

01

With the right software
great things can happen.

uLinga for Kafka implements the Kafka TCP/IP-based protocols natively, without requiring any additional software or interim servers.  uLinga for Kafka is written in C, so is able to obtain the highest levels of performance on NonStop and other platforms.

02

How it works

uLinga for Kafka can read data directly from Enscribe files and TMF audit trails, and produce the data from those files to Kafka.  It also provides application interfaces, including Guardian IPC (on NonStop) and HTTP on all supported platforms, allowing applications to explicitly send data to be streamed to Kafka.  uLinga for Kafka can also consume data from Kafka, and either write it to a disk file or present it to an application via the same  application interfaces. User Exits and Data Transformation allow for the data to be manipulated before it is sent to Kafka, if desired.
