InfoSphere Streams

IBM InfoSphere Streams allows you to capture and act on all of your key business data... all of the time... just in time.

InfoSphere Streams is a high-performance computing platform that allows user-developed applications to rapidly ingest, analyze, and correlate information as it arrives from thousands of real-time sources

• With its ability to seamlessly deploy applications on any size computer cluster, InfoSphere Streams allows you to meet current reaction time and scalability requirements while preserving the flexibility to evolve with future changes in data volumes and business rules. InfoSphere Streams supports the composition of new applications in the form of stream processing graphs that can be created quickly, mapped to a variety of hardware configurations, and adapted as needs come and go and relative priorities shift.
• InfoSphere Streams supports high volume, structured & unstructured streaming data sources such as numbers, text, images, audio, voice, VoIP, video, TV, financial news, radio, police scanners, web traffic, email, chat, GPS data, financial transaction data, satellite data, sensors, badge swipes, and any other type of digital information that is relevant to your business.
• InfoSphere Streams is part of the IBM Big Data and InfoSphere Software portfolios, designed to deliver trusted information for your organization.
• With InfoSphere Streams, you can react to events and trends immediately while it's still possible to improve business outcomes. Government, Telecommunications, Healthcare, Energy and Utilities, Finance, Manufacturing, or any industry will benefit whenever there is a requirement for immediate and accurate analysis and decisions based on what is happening right now.

• InfoSphere Streams offers a highly scalable and powerful analytics platform that can handle incredibly high data throughput rates that can range to millions of events or messages per second. Streams has successfully run on clusters that consist of thousands of processor cores. InfoSphere Streams incorporates WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging (LLM) transport technology. The WebSphere MQ LLM technology provides InfiniBand support that can enable applications to handle extremely high data throughput with very low latencies, reduced latency variability, and low central processing unit (CPU) consumption.

• InfoSphere Streams offers a highly flexible analytics platform that can not only handle traditional and non-traditional data types such as VoIP, email, audio, video, etc., but also offers a high degree of flexibility in defining very complex and powerful analytics. Streams supports reuse of existing Java or C++ code within the Streams environment.

• InfoSphere Streams provides several features that enhance robustness of its runtime environment. These include ability to seamlessly remove or add processor nodes to or from the cluster without impacting any Streams applications. InfoSphere Streams provides near linear scalability by simply increasing the number of nodes in the cluster:

• In addition to the cluster based run-time platform, InfoSphere Streams includes the Interactive Development Environment (IDE) known as "Streams Studio". Streams Studio is an Eclipse based tool that supports Streams application development with editors, wizards, application structure graphs, and run-time monitoring for Streams applications.

• Enhancements to Streams Processing Language designed to improve productivity and agility

• New database support, including Netezza TwinFin, Microsoft SQLServer, and MySQL

• Health and metrics monitoring of current system status via an XML-based programmatic interface

• Addition of new "composites" capability to increase application modularity to support larger and/or distributed application development teams

• More freedom to nest and aggregate data types within a single stream definition

• Enhancements in InfoSphere Streams Studio to speed writing, testing, and debugging Streams Processing Language applications

• New flexible deployment allows applications to be built on a development cluster and moved into production without recompiling
