The document discusses how event-driven architectures are becoming more important for modern enterprises. It notes that by 2022, event-driven solutions will be required for 70% of new digital business solutions according to Gartner. The document then discusses how an "event mesh" architectural layer using distributed event brokers can help route events across environments in a flexible, reliable and governed manner. Finally, it provides examples of how Solace event broker technology is used by organizations like American Express, SAP and Singapore's Land Transport Authority to power their event-driven systems and IoT initiatives.

8. We believe events will become the life blood of
the modern enterprise, and they will need to need
flow freely and easily, across every environment
and component of the digital enterprise.

14. Gartner recommends the use of advanced event
brokers as a critical component in event - driven
architectures for digital business.
Event mesh is an architectural layer (distributed
event brokers) that routes events from producers
to consumers in a flexible, reliable and governed
manner, no matter where your apps are
deployed.
