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.

As the speed required for modern enterprises to remain competitive (let alone get ahead) steadily increases, the typical database-centric approach falls short when it comes to agility, scalability, and reliability. In order to keep pace, a new breed of enterprise-grade applications is required.

Leading enterprises in practically all industries are switching from processing and acting on data after the fact to taking action on data in flight, as it happens through 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.
"The solution is to use real-time data integration to provide connected, contextual and continuous intelligence across the entire organization and its ecosystem."
