Integrated Caching Allows Turnkey Deployment of Essential Trading Functionality within the Unified Messaging Platform

OTTAWA, June 22nd, 2009 – Solace Systems, the leader in messaging middleware and content networking hardware, today announced a new high-speed message caching solution to enable the rapid in-memory storage and retrieval of high-speed data as part of the company’s Unified Messaging Platform. Such caching is important for market data systems because trading applications frequently need to look up recent quote data to find the last value, or investigate recent instrument activity.

“Caching is an essential component of an end-to-end trading system as well as a useful part of a sensor network, ” said Shawn McAllister, Solace’s chief architect. “We will continue to support integration with third-party caching technology, but the option of a turnkey, high-speed cache saves time and effort for many customers.”

The flexible API makes it easy to configure Solace’s high-speed cache to meet specific application requirements. For example, applications could request the last 1, 000 messages for an instrument, or sensor data from the last 24 hours. The high-speed cache supports requests for individual topics, or groups of topics as well as the ability to resolve consistency issues when new data is entering a cache as stored data is being requested.
