InterSystems IRIS Data Platform is a unified, cloud-first data platform designed to simplify the development, deployment, and management of high-performance, real-time applications. It integrates database management, integration, analytics, application development, and API management capabilities into a single platform. IRIS is built to handle high data ingestion rates while also executing concurrent analytic workloads, making it suitable for applications requiring both speed and complex data analysis.
The user interface used for systems developed using the platform has also progressed over the years - from simple Character-based screens to Windows based and now to Browser based applications. The advantage of using the latest browser user interface apart from the modern look and feel, includes that they can be instantly deployed, and are much simpler to support and maintain - no exe's anymore!
