uLinga For Kafka. A Different Approach
Modernization Through Integration
Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed events streaming platform used by many corporations for data integration, streaming analytics, log analysis and other mission critical applications in a high performance and fault-tolerant environment.
Now, with uLinga for Kafka from Infrasoft, a NonStop application can publish NonStop events and data to Kafka clusters to be picked up by any consuming subscribers on any platforms.
uLinga for Kafka is a NonStop based solution and requires no additional software or hardware components.
Kafka provides these functionalities and benefits to its users:
-
Publish and subscribe to data.
-
Store data in the order they were generated efficiently.
-
Real-time / On-the-fly processing of data.
-
Built-in fault tolerance and high performance
Sample NonStop Use Cases:
-
Publish NonStop application logs or system events to Kafka to be real time analysis by off platform tools such as Splunk
-
Push NonStop data changes to other database platforms such as SQL Server or Oracle
-
Asynchronous messaging interface to applications on other platforms such as Windows or Linux
-
Publish NonStop applications or data to stay in sync with Cloud Services
