DaSense offers App Engine for efficient handling of large amounts of data

07/11/2018

Constantly exponentially growing amounts of data in companies require big data solutions like DaSense to have innovative ideas to ensure that data can be processed efficiently. DaSense meets this current requirement with the new "App Engine". The App Engine enables users without programming knowledge to create individual data queries and to efficiently and interactively process the results.

Large amounts of data require more intensive technological support

DaSense is a platform that bundles all data available in the company in accordance with the highest security standards and gives the user access according to needs and rights.

Access is via specially programmed apps that send algorithms and queries to the data and deliver the desired results.

Although this result data is limited, it is usually of such a large volume that it cannot be processed by a human. Additional apps are required that subject the data to ongoing analysis. This linking of apps was previously done manually and required programming skills

App Engine in DaSense

DaSense now offers the automatic execution of a complex app workflow via a common front end. In the front end of the so-called App Engine, the user enters all search criteria once. The most common standard apps are readily available for his query. Their assembly is always similar: the search for specific events, the analysis of the results found, the visualization of the result data and - at the end - the export.

The product expansion brings many advantages for DaSense users. If a company expands or refines its standard apps, all technical workflows can benefit immediately via the App Engine. With the standardized apps, the programmer can concentrate purely on the core of his analysis. The analyzes can also be easily exchanged across departmental boundaries.

Data compression for quick results

In order to maintain the high performance of DaSense even with the most extensive app workflows, the apps of the engine do not transfer complete data sets, but only lean information about where the data can be found - true to the motto "Move the algorithm, not the data" . This compression ensures both efficient storage of the events found and a high level of reusability.

“The DaSense App Engine is an innovative, new component for our product and a prime example of the customer-oriented further development of our solution. It arose from the customer's requirement to be able to work even more constructively and interactively in practice with the immensely large amounts of data that DaSense passes through, ”explains Dr. Tobias Abthoff, board member of NorCom Information Technology AG. “Our data scientists then developed the engine for a specific application; it is now being used successfully in various versions in several customer projects. The next step is to make a generic version of the app engine available in DaSense by default. "
