Solace Systems Increases Persistent Messaging Performance Ten-Fold
VRS/32-08 Module Extends Best-in-Class Content-Aware Networking Solution
OTTAWA, June 19 - Solace Systems, the leading supplier of content-aware networking equipment, today announced availability of the VRS/32-08 Assured Delivery Module, a new hardware card for Solace's VRS/32 content-aware routing system. The VRS/32-08 works within Solace's best-in-class distributed messaging and application infrastructure solution to boost persistent messaging performance to unprecedented levels. In real-world testing, the VRS/32-08 provided fully persistent and failsafe messaging at rates more than ten times the performance of software-based solutions with dramatically lower and more predictable latency. Persistent messaging is essential between applications that absolutely cannot lose a message such as order management systems in financial services or purchase order routing between disparate systems.
Solace offers enterprises and service providers distributed application infrastructure capabilities in hardware rather than software through its flagship product, the VRS/32 Content-Aware Router. The VRS/32 and its previously announced modules fill an industry need for low-latency content-routing, content-filtering, transformation and non-persistent publish/subscribe message delivery with performance ten to one-hundred-times faster than traditional approaches. With the addition of the VRS/32-08 Assured Delivery Module, enterprises and service providers with persistent messaging requirements can enjoy similar performance advantages.
"In my experience, the requirements of applications such as ultra-low latency market data, high speed messaging, order matching and transformation have tested the limits of managing complexity and performance in bringing coherent and reliable solutions into production," said Derek Adelman, CEO CereCast Inc., a leading international middleware and integration consulting firm based in Redwood Shores, California. "Solace's solution neatly addresses these problems in a scalable, self-contained platform that has the potential to revolutionize the way such solutions are developed by greatly reducing efforts to assemble and coordinate low-level components without sacrificing features or performance."
Patent-Pending Hardware Design
Solace's VRS/32-08 Assured Delivery Module is designed with a patent-pending hardware architecture that stores in-process persistent messages in high-speed protected memory across two synchronized VRS/32s. This allows the routers to provide consistent low-latency delivery of persistent messages while avoiding the variable latency and low performance of writing messages to disk.
Reduced Management and Operational Costs
The Solace VRS/32 with the VRS/32-08 card accommodates very high throughput message rates with much less hardware, software and operational complexity. When using messaging software, distributed application architectures can get very complex and expensive to manage as performance requirements often exceed capabilities. With Solace, architects can realize a ten-to-one, or more, reduction in the number of servers required to support large scale deployments, with dramatically reduced risk of outages and simplified system management.
"Deploying software-based persistent messaging at high-throughput rates has been an ongoing challenge in our industry," said Peter Ashton, Vice President of Product Management at Solace Systems. "Solace's approach has broken through this barrier, allowing fully fault-tolerant persistence at rates systems architects have only dreamed about, often reducing racks of servers to just a couple Solace routers."
The VRS/32 Content-Aware Router has been in successful network operation around the world for over two years. The new VRS/32-08 Assured Delivery Module is currently being trialed with customers and will be generally available in the third quarter of 2007.
