What Are Real-Time Applications?

Real-Time Applications are applications that operate within an immediate time frame; sensing, analyzing, and acting on streaming data as it happens. This is in contrast to a database- centric application where information is ingested and stored in a database (in the cloud or on-premise) for future analysis. Most real-time applications rely on an event-driven architecture (EDA) to allow for asynchronous processing of streaming data. These applications are vital in industries where operating within a specific time constraint can mean life or death; such as identifying and repairing a gas leak at an oil refinery or locating a lost child at a public park.

Benefits of Real-Time Applications

Increased Situational Awareness

Quickly and easily understand what is going on in and around your business at any given moment.

Naturally Leverage IoT Devices & Sensors

IoT needs real-time applications in order to efficiently process large amounts of streaming data and take immediate action.

Better Decision Making Capabilities

Put more information directly at your fingertips through the use of smart dashboards, real-time notifications, digital twins, human- machine collaboration, and more.

Greater Operational Responsiveness

Respond to mission-critical events as they happen instead of after the fact through real-time analysis and response to streaming data.

High Scalability

Process data close to the source to scale without limits, and massively decrease bandwidth utilization.

Low Latency Edge Processing

Real-time applications enable very low latency data ingestion and analysis to fully leverage the benefits of edge computing.

What Is Event-Driven Architecture?

A lot has changed since businesses began developing mission- critical applications using a database as the central location for ingesting, storing, analyzing, and exporting virtually everything going in and out of the business.

The problem is, as businesses become more distributed and the world more fast-paced, more types of data need to be analyzed and integrated in real time; a much more agile and responsive application architecture is required in order to simply keep up, let alone get ahead. It’s time to ditch the database and transition to event-driven architecture.

Event-driven architecture(EDA) is software development paradigm in which the application is laid out as a series of commands, events, and reactions. This is in contrast to a database- centric approach, where incoming data is stored in a database and then called upon later for further analysis.

An event, in this case, is any situation of interest that is generated with the use of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, user-driven interfaces, camera and object recognition systems, and many more sensory mechanisms in the modern enterprise.

By switching to an event-driven approach, organizations can undergo digital transformation much easier, incorporating new technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, edge computing, and more into new or already existing applications.

Features & Benefits of Event-Driven Architecture

Scalable

Parallel, asynchronous processing allows for massive scalability to handle large quantities of streaming data

 

Interoperable

Effectively communicate and coordinate business events across previously disparate enterprise systems

What Is Edge Computing?

As businesses are forced to adapt faster than ever to the constantly changing world that we live in, the need for a computing topology that allows for real-time responsiveness, minimal to no latency, increased data security, massive scalability, and more, is an absolute necessity to stay ahead of the competition.

Edge computing enables data to be processed as close to the things and people producing or consuming that information as possible, allowing for a faster response to streaming data.

Edge Computing is a networking topology that allows for the placement of compute power close to the devices and sensors that make up the Internet of Things. These devices are often away from the data center out in the “real world”.

Analysis occurs locally, on large sets of data without incurring the latency overhead that would be experienced if this analysis needed to be done in the cloud. Local connectivity also adds higher resiliency and ensures better responsiveness to critical situations, ensuring large volumes of data can be analyzed and scrubbed with only interesting data being sent to the cloud for additional analysis.

Features & Benefits of Edge Computing

1

Real-Time Responsiveness

Respond to streaming data as it occurs without latency concerns, utilizing mesh architectures to enable simultaneous computing capabilities

2

Resiliency

Ensure the operation of and communication between edge devices continues even when connection to the internet is lost or is temporarily unavailable

3

Increased Data Security & Privacy

Locally process sensitive information directly on edge devices to limit both the amount of data transmitted back to data centers and data at risk in any one location

4

Scalability

Quickly iterate, expand, and evolve edge applications as requirements change or operations grow without needing to go back to the drawing board

5

Embedded Intelligence

Utilize increased local processing power to run more sophisticated and intelligent features directly on devices, at the source of data

6

Data Efficiency

Decentralize data processing to run as close to the source as possible and filter unnecessary data before sending back to the main system

What Is Digital Twin Technology?

A digital twin is a digital copy or replica of a physical object. In the past, digital twins have been used to test and monitor objects such as engines or manufacturing line components. Next-generation digital twins are being implemented on entire spaces such as a building or city park.

Digital twin technology combined with a real-time event-driven application allows for not only visualizing but taking real-time action on important business events.

Digital Twin Technology is a way of representing complex physical environments digitally such as a large building, factory, airport, or an oil refinery, through this we can monitor and control things in new and innovative ways.

Digital Twins analyze and act to address complex problems such as a flood, a major traffic accident, a factory breakdown, or suspicious behavior in an airport, all in real- time. Powerful simulations can also be run to prepare for such events in advance.
