You can create business rules in RulePoint to identify hidden patterns in data and correlate real-time events that negatively impact your business. In RulePoint, you can monitor diverse and disparate data or event sources, including event streams, sensors, communications systems, message queues, web services, RSS feeds, databases, and flat files.

You use the data sources to connect to external systems to extract data. The sources convert the extracted data into meaningful events. Sources then logically group events and publish them to topics. You need to configure rules to analyze and detect events associated with the topic. When events match the conditions specified in the rule, RulePoint notifies a response to the appropriate user through responders.

A key RulePoint advantage is that it helps you discover operational changes as they occur and the opportunity to respond to important events immediately.

RulePoint can process large volumes of data in a highly available and fault-tolerant environment. You can scale services and share objects across multiple machines. The high-availability functionality helps minimize service downtime due to unexpected failures.
