5. Don’t use Y2K
techniques to deal
with 2018 realities
How do you support the shift to “event-driven”?

6. This is Making the Distribution of Data More Complicated
On Premises IoTCloud
Private Public

How do you distribute events
across all
these systems?
How do you deal
with diverse APIs
and protocols?
How do you make it
manageable, scalable, secure
and reliable?
How do you do
it in real-time?

7. The Answer is An Event Distribution Mesh That….

Can exchange
data
via any pattern
Supports every
API and protocol
Runs natively in
every environment
