Real-Time Analysis: Truviso
May 3, 2008
Truviso’s PR engine pumped some output into my RSS reader this morning. The company, according to its Web site:
analyzes massive volumes of dynamic information–providing continuous visibility and automated reaction to any event, opportunity, or trend in real-time.
I was unfamiliar with the company, founded in 2005 and based in Foster City, California, a stone’s throw from San Mateo, 101, and the Third Avenue donut shop.
The company is in the low-latency data analysis business. What this means is that certain data about financial prices must be processed quickly. Truviso asserts that its technology supports thousands of concurrent queries on a single server. The company’s approach is to run its system in a distributed fashion across thousand of applications, databases, and other systems in the network.
Truvisio appears to be positioned as a business intelligence function. If you want to look at another approach to low-latency content processing, a visit to the Exegy Web site may be helpful. Exegy is profiled in my new study, Beyond Search, and has been identified as a content processing vendor to watch.
