I.B.M. Unveils Real-Time Software to Find Trends in Vast Data Sets - the Article

There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about a new IBM software, to track and analyze data in real-time.

This sounds similar to a technology I have used in the past, although IBM seems to have built out the system to learn and find correlations in the data without guidance.

Real-time data analysis is often expensive compared to near-real-time or offline processing. Additionally, with complicated data, it would be a sophisticated and well-designed system to anticipate and correctly handle all data. So, a system that is self-learning would be advantageous.

I would be very interested in finding out more about this technology and its related product, System S. I was not able to find much information online, unfortunately.
