INTELLIGENT BRANDS // Software for Business
The system connects to reputable big data
systems and can be deployed flexibly on-
edge, on-cluster or in the cloud.
Features include the ability to:-
• Build adaptable pipelines with
minimal coding and maximum
flexibility. Users have access to a
simplified graphic user interface through
which they can build pipelines without
the need to hand code, deploy built in
transformations and advanced scripting
and triggered execution of external code,
and rapidly troubleshoot using data
injection, snapshot and replay functions.
• Operate continuously in the face of
constant change. SDC Edge offers zero
downtime for upgrades and migration,
as well as direct integration with big data
governance tools, including Cloudera
Navigator and Apache Atlas, and it
enables users to manage complex
dataflow topologies with StreamSets
Dataflow Performance Manager (DPM).
• Execute pipelines wherever they are
needed. SDC Edge enables flexible
deployment in clusters, across multiple
clouds, or on edge nodes and devices,
allows users to deploy and scale
efficiently against Kubernetes, and offers
100% in-memory operation for high
throughput and low latency.
• Monitor pipeline performance and
data quality. SDC Edge pipelines
automatically detect and adapt to data
drift, the system offers customisable
metrics on dataflow operations and
data fidelity, and users are privy to
early warning of anomalies via data
introspection, samples, threshold rules
and alerts.

“However, harnessing this data for
important efforts such as IoT and
cybersecurity has been a challenge due
to the lack of end-to-end data ingestion
frameworks. We built SDC Edge to bring
disciplined, well-managed data movement
to huge populations of IoT sensors and
personal devices so that the promised
benefits of these critical initiatives
are realised.” n
Barry de Waal, Chief Executive of Strategy
and Sales at 9TH BIT, said: “Today, moving
data reliably and with quality is blocked by
the reality of data drift. SDC Edge delivers
performance management tools for data
flows that feed the next generation of
big data applications. This includes the
superior management of data in motion,
ensuring data arrives in good time, thereby
accelerating analysis and simplifying
decision making.”
