The Hitachi Streaming Data Platform (SDP) is designed for IT infrastructure teams and data engineers in large enterprises, providing a robust solution for real-time analytics. This subscription-based platform excels in analyzing vast amounts of time-sequenced data as it is generated, utilizing in-memory and incremental processing to ensure rapid analysis without the typical delays of traditional data processing systems. Users can easily define analysis scenarios using Continuous Query Language (CQL), which offers SQL-like flexibility for data analysis without requiring custom applications.

The architecture of SDP is modular, consisting of development servers, data-transfer servers, data-analysis servers, and dashboard servers, which together create scalable and efficient workflows for data processing. It supports various data input and output formats, including text files and HTTP packets, and integrates seamlessly with visualization tools like RTView for effective real-time monitoring. This platform is particularly beneficial for a wide range of professionals, including project managers and finance experts, across various industries.
