InfluxData: Profiting from the Digital Shift: Time Series Databases as Value Creation Engines

In the digital world, leading organizations are already managing transactions in nanoseconds, engaging customers or employees in real-time, and delivering flawless services powered by networks of machines and sensors. Digital innovation moves at a pace difficult to understand. It has already gone through three very significant shifts, from applications to engagement to intelligence.

InfluxData: Data Collection in Industrial Environments Made Easy

Big Data projects and extensive data collection build the foundation to make businesses more efficient and effective. Optimizing industrial and commercial processes depends on gathering available data from different sources, but while this data is the lifeblood of analyzing, understanding and optimizing modern business, collecting it is often easier said than done.

InfluxData: How an Analytics Platform Detects Reliability Threats and Eliminates Obstacles Impeding Results Using InfluxDB

Tignis built a physics-driven analytics platform that aids in improvements to the reliability and efficiency of connected mechanical systems. Tignis' solution analyzes large quantities of time series data from IoT sensors to help identify issues affecting system performance in real-time as well as provide accurate data for predictive maintenance. They chose InfluxDB for its high ingest and storage of time series data as well as its ability to easily send this data into their systems for predictive analytics.

InfluxData: How to Build IIoT Data Streams

Apache NiFi and OPC-UA have been game changers in the world of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), allowing setup of automated data flow from IIoT sensors to where and when needed to meet operational and business objectives. In this presentation, Craig Hobbs of InfluxData will demonstrate how to collect and process data streams of millions of metrics per second using an OPC-UA server and automate that data flow into an InfluxDB time series data platform using NiFi. Once in InfluxDB, you can transform, enrich, analyze, visualize, and alert on that data. Learn how to setup workflow to gain a highly available, fast, scalable, and reliable data stream as a real-world application.

Sysdig and Red Hat: Bringing together security and DevOps with OpenShift
