Benefits of Twister Data Integrator

Parallel Processing

Twister Data Integrator’s modular parallel architecture allows it to process huge amounts of data by using all of the computer power available from clustered computers. Parallel processing results in increases in speed proportional to the number of CPUs provided. Double the number of CPUs, and processing time is halved. As data volume grows, increase the hardware resources to maintain speed.

Designed to Integrate Well

Twister Framework software products work well with others. They all have an open architecture that takes the risk out of integrating the software into existing processing environments. Open source code also can be used with Twister Data Framework products to cut down the cost of programming and implementation.

Rapid Deployment

Twister Data Integrator software makes it easy to access and analyze data from multiple databases, applications, and data files without writing custom data extraction programs. Once the pipeline is built, data are streamed through the system, providing near real-time results.

Component-Based Design

Twister Data Integrator comes ready-built with a library of the most common transformations. Also, with Twister’s Graph Designer, custom transformations are easy to define with Graph Designer’s intuitive API. Once a transformation is created, it is filed away in your library for reuse or to share with a partner organization or department.

Graph Designer

Custom queries can be executed in minutes by simply pointing and clicking. There is no proprietary programming language to learn, and Graph Designer’s intuitive icon-driven interface makes defining and changing the data flow simple. Graph Designer also delivers data to the analyst’s preferred visualization tool.

Countless Transformations Without Sacrificing Ease or Speed

The benefit of Twister Data Framework’s parallel processing framework is readily apparent when third-party applications, such as entity extractors, are involved in a transformation. These tools are CPU-intensive, and without a system like Twister Data Framework that processes data in parallel, speed can suffer.

Onsite Support from Consultants Who Understand Data

Twister Data Framework customers are supported by one of the industry’s most knowledgeable technical staff. When you have a question, we respond—oftentimes in person. At SMSi, we understand that call center technical support will not suffice when your organization depends on real-time data for mission-critical decision making.
