TCS’ data streaming services with Amazon MSK 

Overview

Rising need to securely capture and stream data

Data streaming allows businesses to collect and analyze real-time data that provides valuable insights to take informed decisions. However, it comes with many challenges such as high data volumes, complex infrastructure and architecture, data integrity issues, and possible failure and delay in streaming. Cloud can help. 

With the right cloud service and tools, organizations can effortlessly monitor, process, and analyze real-time data. Moreover, as the value of data diminishes with time, it is critical to derive data-based insights faster. Take, for instance, a fraud detection scenario for credit card transactions where early identification of the fraud can mitigate associated risks. Hence, organizations need data streaming services that produce quick results at low latency for high volumes of data. 

Solution

Enabling reliable and seamless streaming of real-time data

TCS offers data streaming services with Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (Amazon MSK), a fully managed service that makes it easy to build and run applications that use Apache Kafka, an open-source streaming platform. Our services help organizations strengthen the reliability of their data streaming, integrate with native AWS services, and easily deploy and evaluate different streaming solutions. We provide data streaming services for real-time analytics, event streaming, stream processing, and log aggregation using Amazon MSK. 

Our services are tailored for specific industries. For instance, retail companies can use our services to collect data from point-of-sales to a data warehouse. In case of healthcare companies, we help aggregate logs from medical devices to derive meaningful insights into patients’ health using streaming solutions.

By removing the complexity from data streaming with Amazon MSK, we enable organizations to securely and seamlessly stream data across applications and devices. With a fully managed, highly available Apache Kafka service, Amazon MSK makes it easy to ingest and process streaming data regardless of the scale of data without the need to manage capacity or infrastructure. It helps organizations address various challenges while running Apache Kafka such as difficulty with set up, configuration, scalability, and maintenance. It is fully compatible with Apache Kafka toolsets like Kafka Connect, which offers rolling version upgrades to Apache Kafka. 

Security is embedded in our streaming services as Amazon MSK is integrated with AWS Identity and Access Management, Apache Kafka access control list, and AWS security group. These security features mean organizations gain from encryption of data at rest and transit, and access control management.
