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

Three Easy Ways to Publish to Kafka

• Publish an event to Kafka can be done simply by a Pathsend or WRITE using uLinga IPCSERVER.

• Capture data changes to disk and push data to Kafka easily using uLinga FILEREADER.

• Route web requests to Kafka easily using uLinga’s HTTP Interface.
