WSO2 Analytics Platform

The 100% open source WSO2 analytics platform, WSO2 Data Analytics Server, combines real-time and batch analysis of data with predictive analytics via machine learning to support the multiple demands of Internet of Things solutions. As a result, it uniquely allows developers of IoT-enabled solutions to:

• Use the same published events to deliver business and technical insights, and trigger an action when a specific pattern is detected.
• Apply a machine-learning model to the batch analytics pipeline, and then use the resulting predictive analytics with the complex event processor (CEP) pipeline.
• Conduct analytics at the edge to facilitate the detection of important trends or aberrations and significantly reduce network traffic to improve performance.
• Ensure high performance and availability in IoT applications where reliably rapid response is critical.
• Realize development and deployment flexibility on-premise and in the cloud.
