Business Intelligence

StreamInsight increases developer productivity while reducing development costs by taking advantage of existing skill sets and investments in the Microsoft development platform.

Develop applications faster

• Use LINQ, C#, and Microsoft Visual Studio to ease development.

• Take advantage of extensions to the Microsoft .NET Framework to express queries in native C# syntax.

• Express events in .NET data types and extend to create new domain-specific types and operators.

Reduce training time by using established tools

• Rely on common .NET and Visual Studio skills as the integrated development environment.

• Take advantage of readily available Microsoft developer platform skills.

Improve time-to-market

• Benefit from easier and faster integration with third-party adapters.

• Realize value from existing investments in the Microsoft platform and technologies.

• Easily integrate with existing data stores.

Use the adapter development kit

• Develop custom adapters or third-party adapters from one of the many Microsoft partners with specialized industry solutions.

• Take advantage of an open and active collaborative environment to drive adapter ecosystems.

StreamInsight helps management make better business decisions through historical data mining and continuous insights.

Monitor KPIs

• Record raw data history.

• Monitor effectiveness of key performance indicators (KPIs) by using data from event streams.

Manage KPIs

• Manage via KPI-triggered actions.

• Refine existing KPIs by mining historical and current data streams with the same query.

Mine KPIs

• Mine historical data to gain greater insight.

• Create new KPIs for additional insight into expanded areas of the business.

The StreamInsight query debugger identifies, fixes, and tests problems quickly while flexible deployment options scale processing needs and meet diverse processing requirements.

Take advantage of troubleshooting and tuning features

• Troubleshoot and tune queries for optimum resource utilization and predictable performance using replay capabilities.

• Gain reliable access to worldwide Microsoft support and an extensive ecosystem of Microsoft partners with specialized knowledge and solution offerings.

Use embedded options and regional hubs

• Use embedded-options to preprocess on the edge (for example, sensors and other devices).

• Employ regional hubs that provide local processing of event streams from embedded engines for aggregation and correlation.

Perform complex analytics

• Run complex analytics and mine insights with centralized processing.

• Use feeds from regional hubs to create unified views.
