Project Name:

Event-Data provider Web Service

About the
project:

The application provides clients with a rich, structured, consistent,

always-up-to-date and UI-independent window regarding the
information within the operator's systems. By doing so, it allows
presentation of information to be separated from its storage, which in
turn allows web pages and applications to be more dynamic, more
flexible, cheaper and easier to develop and maintain. Because the
application uses a distributed in-memory model, it can serve the
information quickly and efficiently - not only that, but also scale
horizontally on commodity hardware and software as needed to meet
growing demand and information capacity.
