Analyzing data and driving business decisions to the edge of Internet-of-Things (IoT) is rapidly becoming critical for any IoT solution. And for real-time analysis of the data as it streams in is vital to many business processes. Informix, as the data management system of choice for IoT solutions delivers significant value proposition for businesses across all industry segments looking to deploy IoT Solutions. And with Apache Edgent/Quarks integration, you get real-time analysis of streaming IoT data.
