IBM has unveiled a new set of services for IBM’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS), Bluemix, to enable developers to quickly infuse new analytics capabilities into cloud-based applications.

The new IBM Cloud tools are designed to help developers broaden the capabilities of their applications to give users a more robust cloud experience that enables integration of data analytics and visualization seamlessly in their apps. They include:

IBM Streaming Analytics service is now in open beta; providing capability to instantaneously analyse data, scaling to thousands of sources, on the cloud. Streaming Analytics service enables an easier and more efficient way to visualize data. The service is completely scalable; dynamically building out the infrastructure as needed, giving developers time to focus on building important business logic and analytics.

1. IBM added MPP (massively parallel processing) capabilities to enable faster query processing and overall scalability.
2. Compatibility Enhancements: With Oracle and Netezza compatibility, dashDB MPP easily connects with existing database investments to reach new performance heights built on massively parallel processing cluster architecture.
3. Existing Ecosystem Integration: Businesses can solve harder problems faster with built-in Netezza analytics libraries, and integration with Watson Analytics, R, Cognos and third party BI toolsets including Looker, Aginity Workbench and Tableau. dashDB can integrate with Twitter data and Open Data, and supports data preparation with DataWorks.
