Tibco Architecture for Big Data Analysis

Tibco's architecture combines an in-memory approach with an in-database type of approach, making it easier for users to dynamically explore large data sets. The latest release of Tibco Spotfire includes a new connector to Hadoop, among other features.

TIBCO's big data products:

1. TIBCO Spotfire 6.0

2. TIBCO StreamBase 7.3.7

3. TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2.2

4. TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.1.2

TIBCO Spotfire 6.0: Offers enterprise users unrivalled speed-to-value through automation, contextualization and expanded deployment opportunities in the cloud.

TIBCO StreamBase 7.3.7: Enables organizations to build, test and deploy real-time applications for streaming big data. Big data can be processed in real time to provide an event-based alternative to batch-centric big data architectures.

TIBCO ActiveSpaces 2.2: TIBCO's distributed, in-memory grid supports large, event-driven data sets and applications to enable users to off load transaction-heavy systems and allows developers to concentrate on business logic rather than the complexities of developing distributed fault tolerance.

TIBCO BusinessEvents 5.1.2: A complex event processing (CEP) solution that abstracts and correlates meaningful business information from the events and data circulating through your information systems.

Big Data Difference:

While a growing number of analytics software providers offer connections to Hadoop, Jordano said many use an approach that does not involve a "live" connection to the data framework but instead extracts information from Hadoop and transfers it to a proprietary data store, limiting what Jordano called the freedom of exploration.

Integrated Approach to Big Data:

Tibco Spotfire has earned platinum-level certification with Attivio’s Active Intelligence Engine (AIE).  Spotfire is the only business intelligence and analytics provider to earn this certification, which allows organizations to access and leverage AIE’s AI-SQL capabilities to provide data visualization, enhanced analytics of unstructured content and Google-like search and discovery capabilities, all in the same dashboard.
