ScaleOut Software
has released its Digital Twin Streaming Service, a new SaaS solution
harnessing in-memory cloud computing to provide real-time analytics. By
creating “real-time digital twins” that simultaneously analyze telemetry
from thousands of streaming data sources, the solution enables customers to
take advantage of deeper introspection and better real-time decision making
without waiting to query data at rest in data lakes.
Because it can immediately analyze data in motion from individual data
sources in milliseconds and make use of dynamic context for each data
source, the ScaleOut Digital Twin Streaming Service can change how an
enterprise can process live data streams to make critical decisions in the
moment.
“Processing streaming data with real-time digital twins revolutionizes
streaming analytics by enabling deep introspection in real time and
individualizing it on the fly for each data source,” said Dr. William L.
Bain, founder and CEO of ScaleOut Software. “We built the ScaleOut Digital
Twin Streaming Service to help our customers dramatically improve
situational awareness in their live systems, spanning thousands or even
millions of data sources. Whether tracking a fleet of rental cars or a
population of smart watch users, real-time digital twins are a game changer
for streaming analytics.”
The service minimizes development time by enabling applications to be
easily constructed with concise, real-time digital twin models and by
connecting to several popular streaming cloud data sources, including
Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, Amazon Web Services (AWS) IoT Core, Apache Kafka,
and REST.
Benefits of Real-Time Digital Twin Analytics
Unlike legacy complex event processing (CEP) systems and other streaming
analytics platforms, real-time digital twins offer a new, intuitive
technique that tracks the dynamic state of individual data sources and uses
this information to enhance the immediate analysis of incoming telemetry.
This novel approach enables deeper introspection for large numbers of data
sources than previously possible and provides more actionable feedback for
data sources in milliseconds.
Real-time digital twins also enable immediate streaming analytics that
previously could only be performed offline or through delayed batch
processing. Integrated, real-time aggregate analytics on the state
information tracked for each data source let applications immediately spot
and respond to emerging issues, maximizing overall situational awareness.
This new streaming analytics platform uses real-time digital twins to offer
important benefits in numerous industries. Examples include:
-
Real-time monitoring. Track thousands of intrusion points, meters, and detectors to filter
telemetry and quickly identify issues or threats as they evolve
-
Healthcare.
Interpret telemetry from a population of smart devices (such as
blood-pressure and heart-rate readings) to generate more effective
alerts in the context of each patient’s activity, medical history, and
medications
-
Logistics.
Enhance tracking of large vehicle fleets, store or restaurant chains,
or thousands of assets (such as medical supplies) to immediately spot
and respond to issues, optimize operations, and aid in disaster
recovery
-
E-Commerce.
Analyze website clickstreams for e-commerce shoppers to improve product
recommendations based on each shopper’s dynamic selections,
demographics, brand preferences, and recent purchases
Technical benefits of the ScaleOut Digital Twin Streaming Service include:
-
In-memory computing power.
Runs as a highly scalable in-memory computing platform based on the
ScaleOut StreamServer
product, which has been used for years for on-premises streaming
analytics processing
-
Integrated, real-time analytics:
Simultaneously analyzes and responds to incoming event messages from
data sources while performing continuous, aggregate analytics across
all real-time digital twins
-
Web-based UI:
Simplifies the deployment and management of real-time digital twin
models, visually displays aggregate analytics, and provides UI-based
query of context information held by real-time digital twins
-
Ease of development:
Offers the
ScaleOut Digital Twin Builder
toolkit to easily construct and deploy real-time digital twin models
with minimum application code and start analyzing telemetry with just a
few clicks of a web-based UI
