SQLstream Blaze, which is the name for the SQLstream suite of products, is a streaming analytics platform that is available for both on-premises and cloud-based deployments. Included with the product suite are s-Server, the core stream processing engine; StreamLab, a graphical platform (no coding required) for building streaming analytics applications over the live data streams; s-Dashboard, which is an HMTL5 platform for building push-based, real-time visualisation, and which is pre-configured with a standard set of panels, widgets and dashboards – see Figure 1); and s-Studio, which is Eclipse-based and provides stream inspection, application development and administration for s-Server, and enables dynamic updates to live applications. There are specific facilities to support Apache Kafka and Amazon Kinesis environment.
In addition, the company also offers StreamApps, which are pre-built solution accelerators that include data collection agents, analytics, rules, stream processing functions (aggregations, filtering and parsing), and real-time dashboards. At present there are two StreamApps available, for Telecommunications and Smart Cities respectively.
Customer Quotes
"From 180 nodes taking 3 hours to generate metrics on service quality and over 65,000 CPUs working on their real-time auction processes, Rubicon went down to using only 5 servers to run streaming analytics on their entire load (110B records/day): now getting insights continuously and in real time."
Rubicon Project
"Reduced Kinesis ‘Shard Hour’ fees – directly related to SQLstream Blaze enabling them to reduce the number of shards from 600+ to 34 (14 input and 20 output shards)."
