Applications have become a critical, foundational element of everyday business and life. Applications are the interface between our next-generation technologies and how we derive value from them. These applications and technologies are the means for businesses to provide differentiated experiences, and they increasingly require minimal latency for real-time data engagement.

Current network, cloud and IT architectures present latency, cost, and data privacy and security issues that challenge the performance of distributed applications and real-time data processing.

The application world needs a new architectural platform that has been designed to support the intensive performance requirements of next-generation applications.
