SQLstream enables a wide variety of new applications and solutions that were previously either technically or economically infeasible. SQLstream dramatically reduces the time, effort and cost of integrating applications and data in near real-time.

Streaming analytics

SQLstream's streaming analytics is built on a patented technology for integrating streaming data and applications in real-time. That technology is called Relational Asynchronous Messaging (RAM), firmly grounded in the technology and theory of Relational Databases but extending that relational world to enable "querying the presently flowing and future data."

RAM's new and fundamentally better way to manage and process dynamic data flowing across an enterprise treats those data streams as time-stamped messages. It processes them using familiar relational operators augmented to handle time windows. By using time windows, RAM can aggregate, join, and process these potentially infinite message flows in meaningful time groupings, without having to wait for the last message to arrive.

In this new paradigm, which most people find surprisingly simple, intuitive, and natural, queries become active agents that execute continuously. They await the arrival of needed input data, processing it as soon as it arrives, and they generate outputs as soon as those outputs are ready. Everything is done on a continuous input-output basis. You can change these standing queries while they are running, causing immediate effects on their processing and their outputs.

This pioneering approach dramatically reduces the enormous time, effort and money spent on creating effective, manageable integrated IT solutions. SQLstream's integration technology reduces time-to-market and total cost of ownership for its customers across a wide range of industries and enterprises.

Effective and efficient development of data integration and analytics solutions

SQLstream delivers the following benefits:

Broad Industry Relevance

SQLstream's technology is applicable in almost any industry, in much the same way that relational database management systems (RDBMS) are not industry specific. SQLstream facilitates the creation of a large number of business solutions, such as in the following areas:

Many of the above application areas are discussed at the links shown in the left panel.

Information-Rich Environments

Information rich environments are natural starting points for the introduction of this powerful new paradigm and toolset.

SQLstream is therefore working with customers in the following industries:
