TIBCO Enables High-Performance Smart Home for digitalSTROM Users

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - May 21, 2015) - TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in infrastructure and business intelligence software, has partnered with digitalSTROM to provide reliable high-speed processes in connected homes. digitalSTROM is a provider of smart home solutions, integrating both IP- and non IP-based devices with intelligent third-party services all on one platform. The joint solution combines the TIBCO Fast Data platform with digitalSTROM's smart home technology.

To ensure both scalability within a rapidly growing market segment, as well as fast and easy integration of cloud-based, value-add services, digitalSTROM turned to TIBCO. With its high-performance event-driven platform, intelligent process modeling, and analytics capabilities, TIBCO ensures that complex services for the digitalSTROM smart home respond quickly to situational changes, like a drop in outside temperature. This ability has become ever more important as the number of households leveraging highly personalized smart home applications increases.

digitalSTROM links all electric household appliances using the home's existing electrical wires, integrating broadband equipment, and ensuring that they work together in an intelligent way. The digitalSTROM terminal block, with an integrated high-voltage chip, turns ordinary electric appliances into smart devices capable of communicating with each other and having their own intelligence.

The German-Swiss company is also providing a true ecosystem for smart living -- a platform enabling all kinds of services around a household. Working in the background, the TIBCO platform ensures reliable execution and prioritization of the rules and processes connected with the various services. The unified, flexible, and secure TIBCO platform -- with its in-memory data grid -- combined with TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™, TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks™, and TIBCO BusinessEvents® for processing all events, is ideally suited for this kind of application.

Additionally, open interfaces make it possible to easily integrate a wide range of products and services, in turn creating new applications for the smart home. In order to enable fast integration, digitalSTROM leverages TIBCO® API Exchange. A graphical, zero-code design interface makes it easy to integrate applications once and reuse these as required.
