INTRODUCTION
The SAP Sybase Event Stream Processor (ESP) is a high-performance complex event processing platform designed to make it easy for firms to implement continuous intelligence solutions. SAP Sybase ESP 5.0 is the latest version of our CEP product line, building on the success of its predecessors, the Aleri Streaming Platform and the Coral8 engine (later known as Sybase CEP). It is a comprehensive platform for rapid application development and deployment, with a scalable high-performance CEP engine that applies continuous queries to streams of incoming events in real-time, producing insight from raw data continuously and immediately.
