POWERED BY INTELLIGENT BRANDS // Software for Business 9TH BIT brings StreamSets Data Connector Edge to South Africa ///////////////////////////// 9 TH BIT Consulting, specialists in implementing SOA solutions, middleware integration and products, has announced the local availability of StreamSets’ Data Connector Edge (SDC Edge) continuous ingest software, that effectively addresses the sinister challenge of data drift. 9TH BIT Consulting is the African partner for StreamSets, a global leader in data performance management. www.intelligentcio.com Data drift, the rise of sprawling data architectures, and the need for reliable, real-time analytics have all intensified the pressure on data movement, and traditional integration solutions are struggling. Added to these challenges, hand-coded pipelines take too long to cultivate and collapse often, leaving data-driven applications at risk. This release by StreamSets addresses these issues by simplifying the process of building and running modern data flows, helping companies speed up their time to insights by automatically managing the comprehensiveness, precision and reliability of their data as it flows from collection to consumption. SDC Edge enables users to build data drift resistant pipelines in a matter of hours (not weeks or months), thereby reducing the costs associated with long lead developments. INTELLIGENTCIO 77
