RDMe dataFlow with - Sponsored Whitepaper

Today, the need for real-time data throughout the many levels of an organization is growing rapidly. The more current a company’s business intelligence information often determines how successful a business is run. Traditionally, embedded applications have been closed systems. The movement of any data collected on these devices to the company’s enterprise business systems is performed via off line batch processing at periodic intervals. This paper outlines three separate business cases applicable within three key industry market segments: Industrial Automation; Telecommunication; and Aerospace and Defense; where Raima technologies facilitate high speed data management and seamless real-time data flow between embedded devices and corporate enterprise databases. Additionally, this paper will outline (currently available upon request) a demonstration that highlights the use of the RDM embedded databases and dataFlow technologies on real-time embedded computers (devices), desktop and servers platforms. The demonstration relies on Raima technology partners’ technology from Microsoft®, Wind River®, and Green Hills® Software.


Today’s complex computing environments are generating new requirements for data management and data availability that traditional solutions simply can no longer fulfill. Traditional embedded system solutions relied on very specific proprietary home grown data management code on the controller (device). If data was in fact ever moved from a device, it was most likely done so by uploading the data to a server in batches at some arbitrarily predetermined schedule. The servers in turn would distribute the data upward to corporate enterprises making the data available for business intelligence systems to make use of.

Systems today need to provide data synchronization, aggregation and distribution at all levels of an organization in order for an organization to be successful and meet its corporate obligations and responsibilities. Each level and discipline of an organization has diverse and often very different responsibilities that come together to meet the overall corporate goal of an organization. For example, at the shop floor level, the processing units require continuous operation. The Operations group has the responsibility of maintaining the system’s uptime and corporate managers are tasked with monitoring and ensuring business performance. These are just a few of the many responsibilities throughout an organization.
