The ability to quickly develop applications which reliably process very large volumes of time series sensor data with low latency is a critical need for us.

Although, there is a rich and growing set of available tool kits that provide specialized functionality, the time series tool kit is especially important. When used for what it was designed specifically to do, which is to process large amounts of data in motion with low latency, it is very good.

The scalability and user experience are the most valuable features for us. We have top-tier hospitals using IBM Streams for healthcare analytics.

• Velocity of data processing
• Scalability
• One Platform: Has different source connectors, sync connectors, and toolkits
• Enables the possibility to create one's own special toolkit.
  For instance, a Coherence Java connector toolkit

Easy development and deployment. Java implementation features. Also the real time analyser and alarm function.
