New Engine Delivers 300% Performance Increase
and Dynamic Mobile Alerting Based on Proximity to Critical
Events
Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), a global software company that
provides critical event management and enterprise safety
applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, today
announced the release of a major new version of its Communication
Engine that delivers a 300% performance increase. The new release
also introduces the ability to create “Incident Zones™,” which
provide instant alerts to people who enter an area located near a
currently occurring critical event.
Everbridge’s Communication Engine takes advantage of a new,
innovative back-end architecture which enhances the efficiency of
initiating and broadcasting a message. The new engine also
continues the company’s focus on making its applications more
dynamically location aware.
Traditionally, mass notification systems have sent messages at a
given time based on a specified, static location – typically, a
person’s home or work address. Incident Zones make this process
much more dynamic: notifications can be broadcast continuously for
a specified duration of time to the mobile phones of people who
come within a prescribed distance of a critical event. For example,
if a beach area was experiencing dangerous rip tides, alerts could
be sent to people who come to that beach for the next several days.
Alternatively, if there was a hazardous discharge, instructions
could be sent directly to people who come near it until the
situation was fully resolved.
Everbridge’s Safety Connection® enhances the concept of dynamic
locations even further. The solution enables organizations to
locate and share two-way communications and instructions with
traveling or remote workers, with workers located in a campus
office environment, and with first responders. This feature helps
to ensure people’s safety and the business continuity of
organizations during severe weather, workplace violence, terrorism,
disrupted local conditions or other critical events.
Everbridge’s continued investment in the core technology
powering its Critical Event Management platform has resulted in
several improvements to its Communication Engine, including:
- 300% Performance Increase
– enables organizations to deliver critical messages faster through
an enhanced architecture that increases both speed of delivery and
throughput.
- Incident Zones – makes it
possible to dynamically send alerts and information based on a
specified geographical region around a critical event, notifying
people who enter the area.
- Improved Scalability, Redundancy and
Capacity – increases the elasticity of the Communication Engine
and the rapidity and ease with which new deployments can be scaled
up. This helps assure that the solution can expand globally as
demand requires and as volume surges during wide-scale critical
events.
- Redundant Global SMS Providers –
leverages Everbridge’s ongoing commitment to utilize redundant,
multiple SMS aggregators to deliver notifications around the globe,
enabling the company to move traffic for improved performance and
to failover to additional aggregators when one provider has an
outage. The uptime performance and reliability of using multiple
providers far exceeds that of reliance on a single option.
“Speed and reliability are essential for managing critical
events – and we are continually enhancing our platform to be out in
front of the performance and scalability our enterprise customers
require,” said Claudia Dent, SVP of Product Management, Everbridge.
“At the same time, we continue to innovate in making our system
more dynamic in locating people and sending notifications to match
the needs of an increasingly mobile world.”
