Technical Setup Prototype Mark I (2)

The technical implementation of the first prototype has been sketched in more detail after continuous research and the meeting with the supervisors. The entire system will basically consist of three parts: The "metric cloud", the back end and the front end.
The list below points out all considered technical paths for each part:

1. The cloud (where all the metrics come from)
1. DISQ (DataShaka's internal storage platform)
2. DataDog
2. The Back End (where the metrics are pulled and calculated)
1. Server
2. Microsoft Azure Workrole (C#, R, Mathematica, MathLab)
3. The Front End (the actual visible application and interface)
1. HTML5
2. d3.js
3. howler.js
4. timbre.js
5. Processing.org

The image below additionally shows the path of the data through those parts, starting as raw meaningless numbers, then being calculated to more insightful values and events in the back end to then be sonified in the front end.
