CHICAGO – Boomi on Wednesday revealed a strategic collaboration with Red Hat to deliver a single integrated stack of agent AI (artificial intelligence) that will help organizations manage data sovereignty and increase AI costs.
Boomi CEO and Chairman Steve Lucas said businesses must ensure that their sensitive information is not leaked.
“The only moat you have beyond your natural infrastructure is your data. Don’t waste this on social models. This is exactly what Boomi and Red Hat are doing together, using Red Hat’s AI as part of the new platform we will be making available,” he said at the opening of BoomiWorld 2026 here on Wednesday.
Mr. Lucas said businesses can use their favorite models on the platform.
“You’ll be able to put this where your data lives to protect it, ensuring your moat not only survives but thrives in the AI era,” he said.
He noted the business leaders he spoke to asked the same question: “How do I get real AI ROI (return on investment) without losing control of my data, my security posture, or my budget?”
“The answer isn’t a bunch of vendors; it’s a unified platform. With Red Hat, we’re giving organizations the ability to put their data to work, orchestrate AI across the enterprise, and run it with improved security on-premise at a cost that makes AI work at scale.”
Red Hat Chief Strategy Officer and Chief Operating Officer Michael Ferris said that he is working with Boomi to accelerate AI that is ready to produce and help his businesses and measure AI in their businesses.
“Currently, organizations are stuck between testing and production, facing great difficulties, many disconnected tools and rising costs. What we hear from customers and analysts is clear. AI must be easy to use, easy to manage and have unpredictable costs, “Mr. Ferris in a video message.
He said the agent bundle will bring together everything businesses need to build, manage, plan and run AI agents at a high level.
“By combining the power of Red Hat AI with Boomi’s data processing and agent lifecycle management, we can help organizations move from pilots to production with greater confidence, security, efficiency and control,” said Mr. Ferris.
Meanwhile, Mr. Lucas said Boomi is also partnering with Couchbase, Inc. accelerating AI agents from piloting to production.
“The companies will collaborate on solutions that provide customers with a production-ready foundation for agent AI, which includes Boomi’s communication, runtime and AI agent management capabilities and Couchbase’s memory and vector capabilities,” the company said.
Also, Boomi said it is expanding its partnership with ServiceNow “to deliver enhanced data activation capabilities integrated with the ServiceNow Workflow Data Fabric.”
Boomi will be the launch partner for ServiceNow’s Network Data Mobility Program, which will make it easier for customers to leverage its data integration and activation capabilities within the ServiceNow AI platform.
NEW PURCHASE
At the same time, Boomi said it plans to acquire Lunar.dev, a move expected to expand Boomi’s AI gateway capabilities.
Boomi said he has signed a letter of intent to acquire Lunar.dev, a Tel Aviv-based company described as an AI innovator and Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway.
With Lunar.dev, Boomi said it will have a centralized and decentralized control layer to manage AI interactions across the enterprise and add an MCP gateway to provide cost management and seamless AI connectivity.
“We are very excited about what they are bringing to us in terms of the MCP gateway, governance, MCP registration, and tying it into our Boomi Connect product and other areas of our business platform,” said Mr. Lucas at a press conference.
He said the acquisition is expected to close within 30 to 40 days.
