Facts

The Virtual Machine Appliance contains the full SQLstream Blaze suite, including the latest versions of the s-Server SQL-compliant stream processing platform, StreamLab for guided data stream discovery and visualization, and s-Dashboard for real-time dashboards over streaming analytics.

The Blaze Virtual Machine Appliance can be deployed on any host operating system supported by VirtualBox and VMware. This includes Windows 7 and Windows 8, OS X, and the majority of Linux distributions.
