Smart DIH Product Functionality

The table below describes the main functionality of Smart DIH Smart DIH allows enterprises to develop and deploy digital services in an agile manner, without disturbing core business applications. This is achieved by creating an event-driven, highly performing, efficient and available replica of the data from multiple systems and applications,.

Functionality	Details	Reference
Initial Setup	Steps required to install the Smart DIH Digital Integration Hub. An application architecture that decouples digital applications from the systems of record, and aggregates operational data into a low-latency data fabric. system	Initial Setup
Control, Logging & Monitoring	Control of Smart DIH is managed through SpaceDeck GigaSpaces intuitive, streamlined user interface to set up, manage and control their environment. Using SpaceDeck, users can define the tools to bring legacy System of Record (SoR) databases into the in-memory data grid that is the core of the GigaSpaces system.. Monitoring can be performed by both utilizing the tools that integrated within SpaceDeck and using dashboards in Grafana Grafana is a multi-platform open source analytics and interactive visualization web application. It provides charts, graphs, and alerts for the web when connected to supported data sources.	Control, Logging & Monitoring
Updates & Upgrades	The user can update the Smart DIH platform using several methods	Updates & Upgrades
Reliability	Many of the Smart DIH components contain the appropriate redundancy and are spread across multiple availability zones	Reliability
Performance	GigaSpaces IMDG In-Memory Data Grid. A simple to deploy, highly distributed, and cost-effective solution for accelerating and scaling services and applications. It is a high throughput and low latency data fabric that minimizes access to high-latency, hard-disk-drive-based or solid-state-drive-based data storage. The application and the data co-locate in the same memory space, reducing data movement over the network and providing both data and application scalability. (in-memory data grid) is a technology that manages data queries from the data-grid	Performance
Data Integration The Data Integration (DI) layer is a vital part of the Digital Integration Hub (DIH) platform. It is responsible for a wide range of data integration tasks such as ingesting data in batches or streaming data changes. This is performed in real-time from various sources and systems of record (SOR. The data then resides in the In-Memory Data Grid (IMDG), or Space, of the GigaSpaces Smart DIH platform.: Data Capture and Transformation	DI The Data Integration (DI) layer is a vital part of the Digital Integration Hub (DIH) platform.

Caching and Backup	An in-memory data grid (IMDG) for high-performance caching. Through Intelligent Data Tiering, data can extend beyond the data-grid	Caching and Backup
Data Services	Using Smart DIH, micro-services or server-less functions can be created be consuming data from data grid	Data Services
Environment Flexibility	GigaSpaces Smart DIH solution can be deployed on several environments with different network isolation models, ranging from air-gapped to a cloud zero-trust model.	Environment Flexibility
Data Sources	There are several out-of-the-box supported data sources	Data Sources
Network Connectivity and Isolation	GigaSpaces Smart DIH provides access to its internal network for both data and control purposes	Network Connectivity and Isolation
SQL Queries	The SQL query class is used to query the Space Where GigaSpaces data is stored. It is the logical cache that holds data objects in memory and might also hold them in layered in tiering. Data is hosted from multiple SoRs, consolidated as a unified data model. using SQL-like syntax	SQL queries
JDBC Java DataBase Connectivity. This is an application programming interface (API) for the Java programming language, which defines how a client may access a database./ODBC Microsoft Open DataBase Connectivity. This interface is a C programming language interface that makes it possible for applications to access data from a variety of database management systems (DBMSs). ODBC is a low-level, high-performance interface that is designed specifically for relational data stores. V3	An updated and improved set of rules	JDBC/ODBC V3
Orchestration This is the automated configuration, management, and coordination of computer systems, applications, and services. Orchestration strings together multiple tasks in order to execute and easily manage a larger workflow or process. These processes can consist of multiple complex tasks that are automated and can involve multiple systems. Kubernetes, used by GigaSpaces, is a popular open source platform for container orchestration. using Kubernetes An open-source container orchestration system for automating software deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.	Orchestration of the Smart DIH platform is performed using Kubernetes	Orchestration using Kubernetes
DNS & TLS Transport Layer Security, or TLS, is a widely adopted security protocol designed to facilitate privacy and data security for communications over the Internet. A primary use case of TLS is encrypting the communication between web applications and servers.	When deploying the Smart DIH platform. the cloud services for DNS and TLS termination can be used	DNS & TLS
Deployment Procedure	Smart DIH is deployed using IAC (Infra As Code) tools (e.g. Terraform)	Deployment Procedure
Installation Methods	There are several installation methods for Smart DIH	Installation Methods
Security Controls	The Smart DIH security controls for application and data are illustrated here	Security
Security: IDP An identity provider, or IDP, stores and manages users' digital identities. IDP and SSO can work together to authenticate users. Integration	GigaSpaces supports integration with identity providers (IDP)	IDP Integration
Security: Service Accounts	Service accounts represent components which integrate with the data-grid.	Service Accounts
Security: Roles & Privileges	User and service accounts can be assigned to roles which limit their access to the data-grid and platform control.	Roles & Privileges
Security: Auditing	Each operation performed by SpaceDeck (pipelines, services, data-grid/Spaces) is audited and can be found in a log containing both the user ID and the operation performed.	Auditing
