Key Features

Real-Time IoT Platform Solutions: According to the vendor, ViZix IoT platform solutions enable businesses to consume, process, visualize, and act upon time-sensitive information presented in intuitive, easy-to-understand formats. The platform is said to transform real-time data into interactive maps, images, and reports, providing a rich user experience.

Rules-Based Workflow, Notifications, Actuation, and Reporting: ViZix IoT platform solutions can be configured to trigger alerts, notifications, workflow changes, and more based on device state changes and actuation of edge devices, according to the vendor. It is claimed to support a state-of-the-art Complex Event Processing (CEP) rules engine for high-volume event correlation.

Complex Event Processing: Targeted to real-time, event-driven architectures, ViZix is said to be capable of triggering custom actions when complex conditions occur among event streams. The vendor claims that it is designed for high-volume event correlation, making it capable of handling millions of events without storing them all for later query.

User-Configurable at All Levels: According to the vendor, users can optimize ViZix-based solutions without the need for new software development. They can configure user roles and privileges, ThingTypes and their attributes, complex event processing (CEP) rules engine, notification mechanisms, and graphical and tabular report structure, content, and presentation.

Scalable Support for Big Data: ViZix's big data framework, as claimed by the vendor, supports unlimited server nodes and high-volume data streams for large-scale enterprise solutions. It is said to use a "noSQL" database for real-time data accumulation and analysis. The vendor states that the storage is linearly scalable, ensuring cost-effective scalability as data volume grows.

Fractal Multi-Tenancy™: According to the vendor, ViZix supports Fractal Multi-tenancy, enabling support of divided, hierarchical organizations by independent element or aggregated at any level. Configurable options can be inherited or specialized by site, allowing a single instance to support a diverse organization with variety in ThingTypes, roles, security, rules, reports, etc.

Designed for Seamless Integration: According to the vendor, ViZix supports stable, standards-based interfaces that simplify development and lead to maintainable, higher-performing solutions. It uses MQTT, a widely supported, lightweight communications mechanism, for seamless integration with back-end software such as Oracle, SAP, and IBM.

Security: The vendor states that ViZix addresses security on multiple levels, including Internet Transport Layer Security (TLS) with strong encryption for secure access, vulnerability testing based on OWASP, and MQTT transport layer security between sensors and the platform.
