Edge Delta Announces Multi-Processor Nodes and Live Capture to Enhance Telemetry Pipeline Management

Published

on

By

SEATTLE, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Edge Delta, the leading provider of intelligent Telemetry Pipelines for observability and security data, is excited to announce the launch of two groundbreaking features: Multi-Processor Nodes and Live Capture. These innovative features are designed to streamline the creation, management, and visualization of Telemetry Pipelines, enabling organizations to handle large, complex configurations with greater efficiency and precision.

Revolutionizing Pipeline Management

As organizations face increasing challenges with managing vast amounts of telemetry data, Edge Delta’s new Multi-Processor Nodes and Live Capture capabilities provide the tools needed to gain deeper visibility and control over data flows in real time. These features, built into the platform’s Pipeline interface, empower teams to efficiently process, route, and analyze their data at scale.

Multi-Processor Nodes: Simplifying Complex Pipelines

The creation of multiple data processing configurations within a pipeline is often a time-consuming and complicated task, especially when managing multiple data sources and formats. Edge Delta’s Multi-Processor Nodes streamline this process by allowing users to group sequential processors into a single, unified node. This reduces pipeline complexity, improves visualization, and makes it easier for teams to modify and enhance their pipelines without losing clarity.

By logically grouping processors, Multi-Processor Nodes offer significant improvements to pipeline management, enabling users to:

Simplify pipeline visualizationApply customized processing requirements to specific data sources and destinationsStandardize intermediary processing to accelerate data routing

Live Capture: Unmatched Real-Time Data Visibility

Edge Delta’s Live Capture feature takes pipeline monitoring to the next level by providing real-time visibility into how data is being transformed and processed. With Live Capture, users can closely observe the flow of data through the pipeline, including:

A live tail of logs entering and exiting the selected nodeA detailed breakdown of which log fields are impacted by processing stepsReal-time tracking of volume changes before and after data processing

This powerful three-panel view allows users to experiment with different processing configurations and immediately see how they impact data structure and volume.

Integrating Multi-Processor Nodes with Live Capture

While Multi-Processor Nodes and Live Capture are highly valuable individually, their greatest potential is realized when used together. By integrating Live Capture within the Multi-Processor Node workflow, users gain unparalleled insight into how processing steps are interacting with live data. These features enable teams to optimize their pipelines with a high level of confidence, visualizing dynamic changes in data flow as new processors are added or existing ones are adjusted.

Optimizing Telemetry Pipelines for Improved Performance

Edge Delta’s end-to-end Telemetry Pipelines are designed to optimize the collection, processing, and routing of telemetry and security data at scale. With these new features, Edge Delta is empowering organizations to manage their data more effectively, reduce operational costs, and enhance downstream monitoring and analysis.

About Edge Delta

Edge Delta is the foundation that gives teams complete control and visibility over their observability and security data. Edge Delta’s intelligent Telemetry Pipelines standardize and enrich data, stream to SIEMs, observability platforms, and archives, and provide a clear view into how data streams are configured, all in real-time. Companies around the world rely on Edge Delta’s novel architecture to manage exponential volumes of security and observability data. Visit EdgeDelta.com.

United Real Estate Unveils Bullseye Marketplace, Expanding Affiliates’ Profit Margin

Published

on

By

The multi-prong strategy to re-margin affiliate profits includes new income opportunities to increase agent earnings and new savings opportunities to reduce their business costs. The efficiencies of United’s model equip agents to compete and provide clients with enhanced services.

DALLAS, April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — United® Real Estate unveiled a series of program launches and announcements at its national conference, Elevate 2025, held in Arlington, Texas, from March 19-22. United’s affiliated professionals from across the country, industry leaders and experts gathered at the event, which featured networking, awards and recognition, expert panels of elite agents, professional development workshops and keynote speakers, Jared James, Coach Micheal Burt and John Israel, “Mr. Thank You.”

As part of its commitment to empowering agents, United Real Estate made several key announcements:

Proprietary Resi-Investment Curriculum: United will introduce a new 12-course curriculum designed to equip agents with skills to succeed in real estate investment. The program, which includes mentorship, will be offered free of charge to affiliates—a new income opportunity that could typically cost agents thousands per month for coaching elsewhere. The course will be available nationwide starting June 30.

Bullseye Marketplace: United has launched Bullseye Marketplace, a unique single access point that leverages United’s size and purchasing power to provide pre-negotiated, low-cost vendor partnerships for affiliates. The Marketplace supports agents’ and brokers’ holistic needs for a successful business and a well-rounded work-life balance. To start, United has launched discounted Zillow Showcase listings, high-definition photography and 3D tours, an automobile refinance program, DocuSign and health club memberships. More offerings are slated to be added in 2025.

Financial Wellness Program Milestone: In 2024, as a result of United’s flat-fee model, affiliates retained over $150 million more of their hard-earned commission than agents at traditional brokerages. Since launching in July last year, United’s Financial Wellness Program, which includes the Dave Ramsey Smart Dollar program, has achieved $4.3 million in debt eliminated and new savings for participants. In addition, United’s wealth planning fiduciary partner is helping agents meet and exceed retirement goals. One participant recently learned they are now able to retire four years earlier than anticipated.

LeadBoost Expansion: United’s LeadBoost lead generation platform has delivered 32 million marketing impressions and 23,000 referral-free leads to agents in the past 12 months. The company is now launching additional specialized lead programs, a Luxury Marketing Leads Program and a Video Marketing Leads Program, all designed to precisely target buyers and sellers. The leads flow to the agents’ Bullseye CRM, streamlining lead conversion from initial contact to transaction completion.

Dan Duffy, CEO of United Real Estate, emphasized the importance of continuous innovation:

“Our industry is at an inflection point where outside forces are attempting to replace us. Billions of dollars are being invested to capture the total addressable market. If we pause or settle for the status quo, we risk losing our ability to fulfill our highest and best use to agents and, eventually, lose relevance and become extinct. At United, we will never accept the status quo. Our agents deserve better, and we will continue to innovate so they can thrive.”

Despite 2024 being one of the most challenging real estate markets in decades, United’s agent transaction count grew 13%.

Rick Haase, President of United Real Estate, shared his optimism for the future:

“I have never seen a market that didn’t have enough business for well-prepared and supported agents and brokers. Bullseye Marketplace will provide a new layer of support, addressing the holistic needs of agents and helping them succeed both professionally and personally.”

Under its industry-leading flat-fee compensation model, United Real Estate returns the highest percentage of gross commissions (GCI) to agents among national brokerages, as revealed by real estate analyst Mike DelPrete’s report on agent compensation at top U.S. brokerages.
