You might be asking yourself, “what do they mean by ‘4D Solution’?”

The Fourth Dimension can be defined as something outside the range of ordinary experience.

We call it this because we have harnessed the true power of the 4th dimension. What I’m trying to say is, the concept of “dimensions” is no where near a marketing term. It is an accurate depiction of how edgeSuite works.

Let me explain…

Imagine a single dot on a piece of paper. This dot is a representation of the 1st Dimension and all the Raw Data associated with your business…that’s a lot of data. If you were to zoom in on this dot, you would be able to read that stack of Raw Data. But then what? You can’t really do much else with it.

Now, imagine that same dot and draw a straight line to another point. This line represents the 2nd Dimension — giving you the ability to take just one piece of that raw data and analyze it on a traditional BI Tool like Tableau, Domo, or Splunk. But what about all the other pieces of that Raw Data? Hold on, let me log into my other instances of Splunk, Tableau or Domo. In other words, let me just jump to another tool to see if I can find what I’m looking for, it should only take an additional 30 minutes or more to do.

The 3rd Dimension comes into play when you take that line and create a new plane. No longer are you moving horizontally through your data as a ‘Read-Only,’ but instead you can move seamlessly along that line in any direction. This is what edgeSuite does — it allows you to analyze and actually take action to points of data from all your tools and applications in Real-Time. Imagine the 2 Dimensional line on your piece of paper suddenly coming to life and walking off the page. The 3rd Dimension of edgeSuite does just that. The information presented is no longer statically stored in separate instances of the same tool but is in fact, alive with Real-Time data flow — from all your tools and applications, in one place.

Now, where edgeSuite separates from competitors and adds value where others cannot is with the 4th Dimension.

In the real world for something to be 3D it must have height, width and depth. The 4th dimension incorporates all of that space over an infinite timeline. Think of the 3D world as something traveling from the beginning of time towards the end of time in a straight line — this is the 4th Dimension.

Edge Technologies thinks about the 4th Dimension naturally or as something we can all experience — our solution allows you to make decisions every day based on what you see to be the future outcome and be able to reconcile that with your knowledge of the past. edgeSuite brings together all 4 Dimensions of your data and gives you Click-to-Write-Back capabilities. Meaning, you can take action on the data from a pipeline, manipulate it, and present it however you’d like — even in Role-Based Views. It allows anyone to analyze the past, the present and as a result, plan for future decisions across all your platforms seamlessly — helping executives and operators make the best and right decisions in Real-Time.
