Software AG Releases Internet of Things (IoT) Solution Accelerator

Software AG has unveiled its Internet of Things (IoT) Solution Accelerator, a tightly-bundled set of smart tools to help gain actionable insights from different, disparate data sources.

The new Software AG IoT Solution Accelerator enables the ability to visualize and analyze the performance of devices individually or together. It also allows the development of "Smart Systems" that respond in real-time to patterns in event and sensor data. 

The IoT Solution Accelerator comprises and combines five components: (1) out-of-the-box real-time, advanced streaming analytics; (2) universal, low latency messaging; (3) in-memory processing of hundreds of terabytes of data; (4) real-time HTML5 dashboards that run anywhere in portals, websites, Microsoft SharePoint and all mobile devices, and (5) end-to-end security, including secure sharing outside the corporate firewall.

The IoT Solution Accelerator includes connectors to IoT providers such as Axeda's Machine Streams and AT&Ts M2M platform. Additionally, it includes a Project Development Kit (PDK) and a solution guide. The PDK contains developer tools comprising frameworks, templates, customizable user interfaces, etc. There is also documentation and source-code based intellectual property provided to kick-start developers to customize or even extend the Solution Accelerator capabilities.

A unique feature of the IoT Solution Accelerator is its capability to combine both real-time data and historical data at the same time. This delivers actionable, contextual information that enables the ability to identify opportunities or threats as they occur and act upon them.
