The AutoClerk Cloud data center is one of the first PMS data centers in the world to never store, process, or transmit sensitive cardholder data, drastically simplifying a hotelier’s PCI compliance and providing genuine security above and beyond PCI’s requirements. AutoClerk Cloud is pure cloud because all it needs is an Internet connection and a browser, it provides powerful hospitality technology solutions for independent properties, management companies, and hotel chains.

Apache Kafka is a distributed event store and stream-processing platform. It is an open-source system developed by the Apache Software Foundation written in Java and Scala. The project aims to provide a unified, high-throughput, low-latency platform for handling real-time data feeds. Kafka can connect to external systems (for data import/export) via Kafka Connect, and provides the Kafka Streams libraries for stream processing applications.
