The Forrester Wave™: for Streaming Data Platforms, Q4 2023 is a key source of information for any organization looking to deploy real-time applications that deliver instant action on streaming data. In this report, you get a comprehensive view of the most significant streaming data platforms in the market today and their respective strengths.
In this report, Forrester evaluated 14 vendors and reviewed them against 21 different criteria related to a company’s current offering, strategy, and market presence.
Hazelcast was evaluated as a Strong Performer in this report and received the top scores possible in the following criteria:
Throughput
Enrichment
Latency
Vision
Innovation
Roadmap
Why the Wave Matters
Streaming data is becoming a priority for enterprises with real-time aspirations and the goal to use it as a competitive advantage. It’s not only a snapshot of what is happening across the business, streaming data opens new possibilities for real-time applications tha
Many businesses are already taking advantage of real-time data. But the challenge today is that they are predominantly focusing on faster access to stored data, and thus not on taking faster action when data is created, and when opportunities arise. Many “streaming” technologies today must first store data and then rely on humans to gain insights via manual analysis and then respond in human time. A complementary approach that leverages stream processing engines will address business problems that need immediate, automated responses.
This paper covers:
Leveraging stream processing technologies to respond in real-time for use cases like “right offer at the right time” (i.e., real-time offers) and transaction fraud detection.
Using real-time data to drive better business outcomes via recommendations or reduced loss from fraud.
How to better identify the real-time use cases that you can deploy to gain competitive advantage.

Instead of a feature-by-feature comparison between these two popular technologies, there is a more meaningful way to determine which is right for you. After all, comparing Hazelcast to Redis is almost like comparing a sports utility vehicle (SUV) to a pickup truck. Picking one of these vehicles over the other depends on how you plan on using them. It’s the same with Hazelcast versus Redis.
The main difference between Hazelcast and Redis is that as a unified real-time data platform, Hazelcast provides stream processing capabilities that you don’t get in Redis. So if you are looking to take instant action on real-time data, in which your applications help you respond to changes in data when it matters most, Hazelcast is your technology.
Read this paper to learn how Hazelcast covers all your bases for your stream processing needs, and hopefully, you won’t need to spend so much time figuring out how to differentiate Hazelcast from Redis or any other storage-only data platforms.

Traditionally, data modeling produces a set of structures for a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). First, we build the Conceptual Data Model (CDM) to capture the common business language for the initiative (e.g., “What’s a Customer?”). Next, we create the Logical Data Model (LDM) using the CDM’s common business language to precisely define the business requirements (e.g., “I need to see the customer’s name and address on this report.”). Finally, in the Physical Data Model (PDM), we design these business requirements specific for a particular technology such as Oracle, Teradata, or SQL Server (e.g. “Customer Last Name is a variable length not null field with a non unique index...”). Our PDM represents the RDBMS design for an application. We then generate the Data Definition Language (DDL) from the PDM, which we can run within a RDBMS environment to create the set of tables that will store the application’s data. To summarize, we go from common business language to business r

To support ubiquitous AI, a Knowledge Graph system will have to fuse and integrate data, not just in representation, but in context (ontologies, metadata, domain knowledge, terminology systems), and time (temporal relationships between components of data). Building from ‘Entities’ (e.g. Customers, Patients, Bill of Materials) requires a new data model approach that unifies typical enterprise data with knowledge bases such as industry terms and other domain knowledge.
We are at the juncture of a major shift in how we represent and manage data in the enterprise. Conventional data management capabilities are ill equipped to handle the increasingly challenging data demands of the future. This is especially true when data elements are dispersed across multiple lines of business organizations or sourced from external sites containing unstructured content. Knowledge Graph Technology has emerged as a viable production ready capability to elevate the state of the art of data management. Knowledge Graph can remediate these challenges and open up new realms of opportunities not possible before with legacy technologies.
Knowledge Graphs are quickly being adopted because they have the advantages of linking and analyzing vast amounts of interconnected data. The promise of graph technology has been there for a decade. However, the scale, performance, and analytics capabilities of AnzoGraph DB, a graph database, is a key catalyst in Knowledge Graph adoption.
