Stream Processing Quick Start Solution Boosts Next-Gen IoT Capabilities

SAN JOSE, CA: MapR, a provider of computer software services and solutions, announces the availability of a new Stream Processing Quick Start Solution powered by its Converged Data Platform. The Quick Start Solution helps customers to process high volumes of streaming data and enables them to create an ideal data pipeline for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

The MapR Stream Processing Quick Start Solution leverages MapR’s event streaming and real-time analytics to accelerate the technological, educational and operational capabilities of its customers. The solutions can also be custom-made to fit requirements of customers from MapR’s Professional Services. Key features of MapR’s Stream Processing Quick Start Solution include:

Real-time Stream Data Ingestion: Ingest large volumes of data in real time from a variety of data sources such as firewall logs, application logs, database change capture logs and sensor/device data.

Real-time Stream Analytics: Implement real-time stream analytics such as statistical aggregations based on business logic. Correlate incoming data streams against predefined thresholds to alert operational users.

Real-time Dashboards and Searchability: Build a framework to index results as well as raw data so end-users can easily find relevant data. Build dashboards that are constantly updated, delivering real-time insights into your business.

The IoT requires streaming data as an important part of the data pipeline. IoT applications help retailers understand their customers better; manufacturers to profit from preventative maintenance, asset monitoring and yield optimizations; and telecom providers to improve customer satisfaction.

With the integration of MapR Streams in the MapR Converged Data Platform companies are enabled to continuously collect, analyze and act on streaming data. The Quick Start Solution enables businesses to handle massive data flows and long-term persistence while providing enterprise protections such as high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR) and security.

“Stream processing is rapidly growing in importance for real-time applications/analytics, and Internet of Things applications,” says Dave Jespersen, vice president of worldwide services, MapR Technologies. “MapR Streams will serve as a key part of the data pipeline for ingesting, persisting and analyzing event streams.  Quick Start Solutions provide not just a product/technology proposition, but also one that educates and creates operational competency around a key technology for a new, exciting generation of big and fast data applications.”
