Event Driven Architectures

Event Driven Architectures Increase Operational Responsiveness

As you work to manage, control, and take advantage of the high volume of information that streams into your organization, event driven architectures (EDA) can provide critical assistance. Event driven architectures are software architectures built around the production, detection, and consumption of events—messages, counts, patterns, values, markers, or tokens, for example. With applications based on event driven architectures, you can monitor fast-moving streams of event data and detect opportunities or threats in real time. With the ability to analyze data as it enters your system, you can respond more quickly to changing business conditions, improving operational productivity and responsiveness.

When you want market-leading solutions for building software with event driven architectures, Progress Software delivers.

Progress Software—Solutions for Event Driven Architectures

Progress Software, a leader in application infrastructure software, offers an innovative and market-leading solution for designing software based on event driven architectures. Progress® Apama® is an EDA system that simplifies the process of developing, deploying, integrating, and managing event driven solutions. Apama provides a platform with a unique set of tools and components that let you build solutions to monitor inbound event streams, analyze the content looking for patterns or relationships that you define, and automatically execute actions based on the findings. These patterns and relationships, or scenarios, may represent a business opportunity, a possible threat, or some other kind of business condition that impacts your organization. Apama-driven applications can monitor data streams for thousands of events simultaneously and execute a response or action within milliseconds. Applications designed with Apama’s event driven architectures can be found in such operational processes as algorithmic trading, RFID-enabled inventory management, satellite telemetry fusion and sensor-driven industrial operations.

EDA Tools for Designing Software Driven by Event Process Architectures

Apama provides a number of software components that simplify and speed the process of deploying event driven architectures. With Apama you can:

• Design solutions. Progress Apama Studio provides a design center where developers and analysts can create Apama event driven solutions.
• Define and deploy scenarios. Apama Event Modeler enables you to easily create scenarios for analyzing and acting on inbound data streams, while Apama Correlator provides sophisticated real-time scenario execution.
• Build dashboards. Progress Apama Dashboard Builder enables you to create graphically rich dashboards to view up-to-the-second analysis of event stream data. Use dashboards to monitor changing business conditions or key performance indicators.
• Integrate applications. Apama Integration Framework provides adapters for different event streams and APIs for customization and integration in different application environments.

Progress Offers Responsive Process Management for Event-driven Architectures

Powered by a leading-edge enterprise data integration platform and drawing from heterogeneous live data streams, the Progress® RPM suite provides comprehensive real time visibility into processes, transactions, events, and system information across your entire enterprise, all from a single business control console. You can take in the big picture in the form of dynamics dashboards, graphs, and charts, or drill down into a single process, single transaction, or single customer view. Beyond comprehensive real time visibility, the RPM suite delivers powerful complementary capabilities that enable you to move quickly from visibility to response.
