enterprise-components are a set of open source building blocks on top of kdb+ allowing you to setup a system for data warehousing and
analytics in just a few simple steps. It facilitates building of the professional data system covering:
- data import
- storage
- quality assurance
- data analytics
- data extraction
- interfacing with other systems
User can fully customize system architecture through configuration files without q knowledge.
Most recent DemoSystem can be downloaded from the releases page.
Some basic information can be found below, for more extensive documentation refer to the documentation folder.
For list of features, changes and fixes in each release refer to changelog or releases page.
Beginners to kdb+/q and enterprise-components should probably start with the tutorial that covers the essential basics
via set of lessons.
enterprise-components have been designed with the goal to provide core functionality to kdb+ installations:
- complying with well-known IT policies for enterprise infrastructures
- keeping the performance and flexibility of
kdb+ - making
kdb+development easier as well as faster and infrastructures more robust - ensuring efficient operations of
kdb+infrastructures
In order to achieve these goals Exxeleron’s solutions follow best practices for robust and efficient IT service delivery and system
architecture. enterprise-components development is guided by overall TCO (total cost of ownership) considerations where special attention
is given to:
- System Vision - new infrastructure should fit naturally into the architectural blueprint, ensuring long-term return on investment
- Flexibility and Low Coupling - avoiding dependencies and complexity where possible
- Reuse and Modularity - profiting from investments within their respective core capabilities
- Flexibility - adaptation to changing business needs should be possible with small investments
- Service Orientation - low TCO and well behaved integration functionality silos
- Low Maintenance - robustness and automation built-in
Customers building their kdb+ architectures with enterprise-components benefit from:
- reduced time-to-market cycles due to the wide set of supported features available out-of-the-box
- efficiently managed operational risks due to proven
kdb+design principles - simpler architectures due to consistent system design and system operations
- motivated
kdb+teams focusing on core business requirements rather than basic infrastructure functionality
enterprise-components provide an optimized set of building blocks that can get quickly assembled into complex kdb+ deployments.
Building blocks are based on common foundation - set of libraries built on top of q. The libraries are unifying and facilitating usage of
various q resources. New building blocks can be easily created by using these libraries which enable development process and allow natural
integration with the rest of the system.
enterprise-components enable management of the data flow at all levels, starting from high-frequency data capture and stream distribution
through on-stream, in-memory, and on-disk data analysis to interface components for applications and programming languages.
enterprise-components functionality is driven by real-life needs. It combines DEVnet experience with modular kdb+ installations that
harness kdb+'s full power and flexibility.
With scalability, flexibility, robustness, optimization and consistent configuration as design goals it plays well in enterprise deployment.
