Guavus announced that it has acquired SQLstream, a real-time streaming analytics company based in San Francisco.
The acquisition enables Guavus to expand its offering, providing communications service providers (CSPs) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) customers access – at the network edge – to real-time, cloud-enabled streaming analytics to address their growing big data needs.
SQLstream is acknowledged as a leading provider of streaming analytics with its SQLstream Blaze suite of high-performance, low-latency, and low-cost edge data collection and smart mediation products. SQLstream’s products are being used for real-time data quality assurance and competitive price optimization, real-time travel-time services integrating sensors with smartphone applications, traffic congestion detection and prediction for ‘smart city’ initiatives, real-time emergency services dashboard and alerts, and continuous data quality assessment and correction for IoT devices.
Their customer list includes companies such as Walmart, Cisco, and Amazon AWS, which licensed the SQLstream technology for use within AWS Kinesis Data Analytics, powering the applications of thousands of AWS customers.
The SQLstream products have the ability to analyze, filter, and aggregate data at the network edge in real-time and forward the information to the network core where the Guavus’ Reflex platform can apply AI-powered analytics, giving customers a widely distributed and scalable architecture with better price/performance and total cost of ownership.
Faizel Lakhani, CEO, Guavus
With our integrated solutions, CSPs to IIoT customers will be able to take advantage of something that’s radically different as we deliver AI-powered analytics from the network edge to the network core. With this solution, our customers can now analyze their operational, customer, and business data anywhere in the network in real time, without manual intervention, so they can make better decisions, provide smarter new services, and reduce their costs.
Damian Black, CEO and founder, SQLstream
“Guavus’ market-leading analytics platform and applications are the perfect complement to SQLstream’s industry-leading streaming analytics platform. The combination provides the highest-performing and richest real-time capabilities for analytics applications and the best productivity.
