Analyzing Dynamic Network Applications: Skytide Analytical Platform |
Businesses that depend on the network as a primary channel for delivering their products and services, and those that rely on the network to reach potential customers, or to drive internal processes, have a wealth of information hidden in the volumes of data the networks generate. Unlocking the true value of this data is critical in sustaining revenue over time.
Skytide Analytical Platform™ for Network Application Data
Skytide delivers a next-generation analytical software platform that performs real-time, mission-critical analytics for the highly complex and diverse data generated by dynamic business network applications. Skytide’s breakthrough technology was designed from the ground up to concurrently address traditional and non-traditional sources of data such as those generated by high-volume transaction systems. Skytide Analytical Platform solves the six analytical challenges facing today's businesses:
1. Skytide Handles Vast Sources of Data
Skytide has the unique ability to connect directly with any data source and format — netflow logs, proprietary log files, HTTP, HTML, and more. Skytide normalizes all data into an XML format "on-the-fly" , from which multi-dimensional analytical models can be quickly built, and just as quickly re-structured and modified.
2. Skytide Delivers Fast, Timely Results
Because Skytide works directly with streams of data it eliminates the time-consuming ETL process, where data is re-formatted and put into a relational database. This dramatically speeds time to analysis. Skytide processes and aggregates model results in memory, with data continuously updated via Skytide's incremental update process, providing users with up-to-date results, and instant access to the information.
3. Skytide is Extremely Easy to Deploy, Model & Query
Skytide begins with a simple, fast deployment process that can be up and running within days with little need for professional services. Creating analytical models (or “cubes”) utilizes drag and drop interfaces that guide users through the process. And, Skytide supports ad-hoc queries, for true multi-dimensional, flexible views of even the most complex data sets.
4. Skytide Adapts to Change
Because Skytide does not require data first be put into a database or data warehouse, it seamlessly integrates new data sources into existing models. Simultaneously, new queries can be created on-the-fly, often without the need to re-apply the data to the model.
5. Skytide Presents Results in Multiple Formats
Skytide interfaces with the most popular presentation packages—Excel, CrystalReports, Corio, JasperSoft, etc.—as well as web portal solutions.
6. Skytide is Higly Cost Effective:
Skytide deployments are typically a fraction of the cost of large traditional business intelligence & analytics solutions, eliminating the high cost of data base licenses and expensive storage devices.
Skytide Analytical Platform
Skytide operates on data where it resides, with no movement, transformation or restructuring of the data required, removing most of the latency from the process. By using XML as a common layer to tie together different pieces of the BI stack into an integrated, “virtual” technology stack, Skytide also dramatically reduces system complexity and cost. Using Skytide, companies can now use analytics to to leverage the value of all transaction data — as it is being generated — for a fraction of the cost of traditional BI tools.
