The Hazelcast Platform combines the capabilities of a real-time stream processing engine with in-memory computing to deliver a simplified architecture that is highly performant , scalable and reliable .
Per a recent global survey of 600 IT decision makers , nearly four out of five professionals indicated they are facing some level of difficulty merging real-time streaming data and data at rest . With the Hazelcast Platform , enterprises can unify event streams with the context of traditional data sources , such as databases and data lakes , to accelerate revenue growth , significantly lower risk or drive cost efficiencies .
“ While data continues to be an enterprise ’ s most valuable resource , it ’ s only useful if they can derive actionable insights in a timely manner ,” said Kelly Herrell , CEO of Hazelcast . “ The Hazelcast Platform represents a monumental step forward for the creation of real-time , intelligent applications that help enterprises capture the value they otherwise would miss .”
Hazelcast , the real-time intelligent applications platform , has announced the new Hazelcast Platform enterprise software capable of serving as a single platform for transactional , operational and analytical workloads .
As part of the company ’ s collaboration with IBM , features from the Hazelcast Platform will also be made available through the Hazelcast Platform for IBM Cloud Paks , an integrated software offering that runs on Red Hat OpenShift .
