2016 Big Data Market Facts and Predictions

After assessing the big data landscape in 2015, we’ve come up with a few predictions for the coming year. The number of pure-play, standalone big data vendors will continue to shrink as acquisitions reach critical mass with larger organizations trying to fill holes in their offerings. As companies better understand their customer base, use cases will move from external to internal – making operational analytics the main use case.

How Will IoT Revolutionize Pharmaceutical Manufacturing?

Article | June 28, 2023

Pharma is big business, but what it’s not generally recognized is, in large part, a manufacturing business with complex supply chains, finicky chemical processes and products that have to meet stringent quality controls. Few of those outside the industry think about how drugs are made safely, efficiently and at scale with reliable quality and in precisely measured doses. Even more interesting is the simple fact that pharma often produces sophisticated drugs using manufacturing processes that are decades out of date, and which are being phased out in comparable industries, such as chemical manufacturing.

Securing industrial networks: it’s a journey

Article | July 13, 2023

Trying to secure the industrial network in one go is like boiling the ocean. Better to view it as a journey. At each step in the journey, you’ll make incremental changes to people, process, and technology. Minimal security. This is the current state for most manufacturers. If you’re here, you’ve segmented the industrial network from the IT network. Traffic can’t cross from the IT network to the industrial network without clearing the DMZ. You can block malware from entering the industrial network. You can block malware from leaving the industrial network to infect the enterprise network. But if the industrial network is exposed to malicious software, you don’t have a way to contain it. That means the malware might affect multiple manufacturing cells or production lines — even multiple plants.

Utilizing IoT architectures to design your IoT solutions with ease

Article | July 5, 2023

IoT use cases span a variety of sectors and businesses. A typical Internet of Things (IoT) solution consists of a large number of heterogeneous IoT devices with sensors that generate data in a variety of formats at varying rates, which is then processed and analyzed to derive insights. In addition, IoT devices can connect to a network directly or through a gateway device, allowing them to communicate with one another and with cloud services and applications. Create a layered architecture An organization's IoT solution's architecture outlines its overall layout, including its physical components (such as sensors and actuators) and virtual components (like services and communication protocols). IoT system complexity can be managed by utilizing a modular strategy that divides the architecture into several layers and focuses on each tier separately. IoT architectures have a tendency to outsource work to the edges of IoT networks (where the physical devices connect to the cloud). This aids data-driven IoT applications by lowering latency, enhancing privacy, and lowering bandwidth costs. Devices layer The device layer components include physical sensors and actuators that link to IoT devices and the IoT devices themselves. Although sensors and actuators are often not considered "smart" devices, they frequently connect to the architectural elements with higher computing power, either directly or indirectly (with the aid of gateway devices). These devices often use over-the-wire protocols like Ethernet or wireless protocols like Bluetooth, Zigbee, WiFi, LTE, or RFID to transmit data. Edge layer The analytics and pre-processing services that are offered at the network's edge are included in the concept of the edge layer. This layer acts as a central integration point for subsequent layers (devices layer). For the upstream layers, it offers routing and device control features. In addition, this layer can be connected to pub-sub systems to convey events and listen in on them. The size and heterogeneity of the devices and connectivity involved make designing data-driven IoT solutions hard. This article discusses some techniques for creating safe, adaptable, and scalable IoT architectures.

German Supermarket Chain EDEKA uses Solace Technology to Stream Master Data Across their Stores and Supply Chain

Solace Corporation | November 26, 2021

Solace, the leader in powering real-time event-driven enterprises, announced today that the EDEKA Group, one of Germany's largest supermarket companies, has selected Solace's event streaming and management technology to build an event mesh that streams real-time master data across their enterprise – from datacenters to wireless devices on the store floor. By enabling a continuous event-driven flow of information, Solace PubSub+ Platform simplifies daily processes to support a better shopping experience for customers. After evaluating different technologies, EDEKA chose PubSub+ because they were convinced it would improve the reliability, robustness and agility of their infrastructure while being relatively easy and inexpensive to operate. They will take advantage of the platform's support for a wide variety of protocols and environments, including cloud, datacenters and stores, to facilitate the deployment of innovative applications and services. According to company officials, the PubSub+ event streaming platform makes it simple to modernize EDEKA's supply chain and merchandise management systems, replacing synchronous batch updates between siloed systems with real-time, event-driven data sharing. Further, the PubSub+ Event Portal service offers them a clear, visual picture of what information needs to flow between various systems, and the ability to model event-driven microservices in a way that provides new insights into ways EDEKA can differentiate its brand to better meet customer expectations. EDEKA aims to replace daily batch updates with the real-time, event-driven distribution of product information between historically siloed merchandise management applications, in-store/point-of-sale systems and customer-facing services such as web and mobile apps. The Solace PubSub+ Platform will also help them to distribute master data in real-time across stores, datacenters and cloud services in a more efficient way, allowing EDEKA to be more real time and efficient. "We're proud to be a part of EDEKA's digital journey because of their commitment to the customer experience and supply chain optimization. PubSub+ Platform is helping EDEKA realize the benefits of using event-driven architecture – specifically an event mesh – to enable real-time processing and predictive insights across the supermarket supply chain, from source to sale." Vincent Rontani, vice president, Europe, Solace About Solace Solace helps large enterprises become modern and real-time by giving them everything they need to make their business operations and customer interactions event-driven.
