GigaSpaces also mentioned in Hype Cycle for Banking Product and Service Innovation and Hype Cycle for Revenue and Sales Technology
GigaSpaces SmartDIH is mentioned as a representative vendor in three recently published Gartner Hype Cycle reports:
- Hype Cycle for Application Architecture and Integration
- Hype Cycle for Banking Product and Service Innovation
- Hype Cycle for Revenue and Sales Technology
The Hype Cycle for Application Architecture and Integration outlines how DIH architecture aligns with many of the current trends driving application architecture and integration. Industry specific reports (Hype Cycle for Banking Product and Service Innovation, Hype Cycle for Revenue and Sales Technology) explain how DIH architecture can enable high workloads generated by digital applications and improve employee and customer satisfaction with a highly responsive user experience.
The reliance of digital apps on real-time data is driving convergence between data and application integration. For digital initiatives to success, ‘data suppliers’ and ‘data consumers’ must work tightly together. Both data teams and app developers can build on innovative approaches to achieve the agility and rapid responses needed to ensure efficient delivery of data APIs from multiple data sources to front end apps.
This is where Digital Integration Hubs like GigaSpaces’s SmartDIH come into the picture.
Digital Integration Hubs bridge the gap between data suppliers, integration teams and front-end developers. They meet the needs of transactional and operational use cases that rely on low-latency, real-time data by making data available in real-time via APIs over consolidated fresh data.
By decoupling systems of record from front end apps, DIHs enable scalable, 24/7 data access, reduce workloads on backend systems and improve the ability of data teams to respond in an agile way to data integration requests.
Digital Integration Hubs ensure real-time data availability by leveraging event-based patterns, real-time streaming and CDC capabilities to consolidate data from multiple systems into a highly performant data layer which delivers data APIs via low code to consuming apps.
With this pattern, the number of integrations drops, since services are developed over consolidated enriched data, reducing direct calls on backend systems.
SmartDIH offers several key values that benefit enterprises. These include:
- Enable customer apps to be much more responsive since data is consumed directly over the real-time hub, rather than directly from backend systems.
- Cut costs and integration dependencies by reducing the number of API calls on backend systems.
- Ensure 24/7 operations since the hub is not dependent on SOR availability thanks to decoupling.
- Empower data teams to be more agile and responsive by decoupling the API layer from the SORs.
