The Zero Latency Enterprise
These systems cannot satisfy the requirements of a zero latency enterprise because:
•
They are fragmented; they offer no single view of the business.
•
The many queries of the different databases required in a zero latency
environment reduce performance to unacceptable levels.
•
They are unable to handle the large amount of historical data required for zero
latency.
The solution, shown in Figure 1-2 on page 1-6, is called a zero latency enterprise
solution, because this latency is reduced to almost zero. Notice that instead of
communicating directly with one another over a network, the diverse operational
systems now communicate through a central hub. Notice also that the existing
systems are left intact, and that the ZLE framework is placed “on top of” these systems
to integrate them into the ZLE environment.
