The value of geospatial routing has been limited because systems couldn’t route or process geospatially-tagged information in real-time, so data was stored for after-the-fact analysis and processing. Its effectiveness has also been limited because solutions have only been able to describe the location of an asset or event as a specific point, proximity to a point, or inclusion in politically defined and unchanging areas such as zip codes or states.

Solution Summary

Solace’s solution can process the contents and location of alerts and information at very high speed, enabling the real-time filtration and forwarding of alerts and information based on the location of events, publishers of information and potentially relevant recipients.

Advantages and Benefits

• Real-time situational awareness: Solace’s geospatial routing can ensure that alerts about something occurring in, or relevant to, a given location is immediately delivered to the people and systems that need it, instead of warehousing it for batch analysis. This enables more complete and timely situational awareness that lets everybody from line level employees to top executives more effectively anticipate and respond to developing situations at their level of responsibility.
• Low TCO: Solace’s solution can handle high-volume content routing in a very small footprint, requiring minimal datacenter resources such as power, cooling and rack space. Its appliance form factor delivers predictable functionality and performance and facilitates easy administration and scaling.
• Flexible definition of location: Solace’s solution supports the definition of areas and subscriptions as irregular polygons, which means publishers and subscribers can identify events that occur in areas of interest that don’t map to politically defined boundaries. The solution includes a Google Maps-based GUI that makes it easy for publishers and subscribers to define areas by drawing shapes on a map and converting them to router-ready sets of coordinates.
