The Long and Winding Road…to Solace Cloud

Note: Solace Cloud is now called Solace PubSub+ Cloud. Learn more about it here.

As the Beatles famously sang: “I’ve seen that road before, It always leads me here, Lead me to…the cloud.”

OK, so I paraphrased the punchline, but anybody who’s been following Solace for a while knows it really has been a long road to today’s announcement of our new messaging as a service platform called Solace Cloud.

Our chairman of the board Craig Betts founded Solace with a big idea – solve the problem of routing messages using the same proven approach that had enabled the Internet, by routing packets in hardware. IP routers and switches for the former, messaging appliances for the latter. The financial services space ate up this innovative approach, which slashed the cost and complexity of their massive messaging estates and massively improved reliability. Other markets wanted the ability to implement our powerful messaging in either hardware or software form factors, so a few years ago we introduced our Virtual Message Router software – the same capabilities, and the fastest software-based message routing you can find, in a package you can easily deploy in a variety of on-premises or cloud environments.… Read the rest

 Making the power of Solace enterprise-class messaging accessible and simple for all developers

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 5, 2017 –  Solace today announced a new managed messaging service called Solace Cloud. Solace Cloud lets developers building cloud-based applications easily tap into the power of Solace’s enterprise-grade messaging without the burden of installing, maintaining and upgrading messaging software.

“With Solace Cloud, we are able to spin up message brokers with just a few clicks,” said Zac Kwan, technical lead, ChatQ. “We find it so easy to use that our developers can focus on building core features instead of getting entangled setting up messaging infrastructure.”

Solace Cloud is a one-stop-shop messaging service for developers who are building microservices, IoT systems, and real-time data streaming or mobile applications. With Solace Cloud, developers no longer need to use multiple messaging technologies to enable their applications to send and receive real-time information. It is also the first messaging service to natively offer hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud connectivity to provide a single real-time messaging fabric that can seamlessly tie together systems running in public clouds, private clouds and on-premises environments.
