Sumeet Puri, Senior Vice President and Global Head of Systems Engineering at Solace, presented at the IDC Insights Awards in Chandigarh, India in December 2018. He explained what an event mesh is, and how the architecture layer can make a business event-driven.

1. Event mesh
The architecture layer that will make your
business event-driven
Sumeet Puri, Head of Field Tech, Solace

2. Modern enterprises are turning towards if not
fully embracing event driven architectures.

3. Batch Polling Events
Long Time Real Time

4. Why Event Mesh as a Digital Nervous System?
Better Customer Service
Innovation | Agility | Faster Time to Market | Faster Response Time
De-risking
Robustness | Burst Handling | Legacy Shielding | Private/Public Cloud
Abstraction
Cost Effective
Lower TCO | Operational Simplicity

5. 2018
The need today is for an agile and scalable solution that can be
delivered by event-driven architectures, providing secured data
distribution along with the identification of meaningful events that
are easily stored and provide instantaneous access as and when
required. In today's digital era, businesses need sophisticated event
analysis instead of traditional message-oriented middleware.

Enterprise

6. Enterprises are incorporating EDA into
their digital transformations.

7. We believe events will become the life blood of
the modern enterprise, and they will need to need
flow freely and easily, across every environment
and component of the digital enterprise.
