Truviso has joined provider of enterprise-class database and services based on the open source PostgreSQL database, EnterpriseDB’s Blade Partner Program, extending its reach to new customers using EnterpriseDB’s Postgres Plus databases, while providing EnterpriseDB customers with a business intelligence solution for analysing “on the move” data.
GemStone Systems has released GemFire Enterprise 5.5, a core component of its high-performance enterprise data fabric (EDF). The release will offer distributed event processing capabilities with the introduction of continuous querying and durable event notifications to clients.
Truviso, a provider of complex event processing solutions, has released an upgraded version of its software. Truviso 2.5 features added high-availability configurations, an expanded analytics development framework, and simplified integration with enterprise data sources and user interfaces. The Truviso 2.5 solution continues to be coupled with PostgreSQL and has been migrated to PostgreSQL 8.3-the latest version of the open-source database.

Japan’s ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation (CTC) and enterprise data fabric provider GemStone Systems say they have partnered to provide a data grid solution for financial computing systems. CTC will market GemStone’s data grid software GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric (GemFire EDF) and related software products as its high performance data access solution. The two will jointly promote the large scale grid computing environment for the needs of high performance and real-time transaction processing.
There was quite a bit of M&A activity last week. Oracle and BEA for $8.5 billion (we’ll have to see whether that’s good news for BEA’s Weblogic Event Server), Sun Microsystems and MySQL for a billion, and NYSE-Euronext snapping up Wombat Financial Software for $200 million.

The Securities Technology Analysis Center (STAC) has tested GemCache Data Transactions, an integrated solution from GemStone Systems, IBM, and Intel configured to handle high-speed trade order messages. The focus of the benchmark was to measure latency at different order rates for a system that was configured for zero data loss. The system consisted of GemFire Enterprise 5.0 software, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.4, IBM eServer BladeCenter HS21 servers with Intel Xeon Quad Core 5355 processors, and SDP over Cisco SFS InfiniBand. The report can be accessed on the GemStone Web site by visiting www.gemstone.com. A preview of the next GemCache benchmark on scalability will be available in Q1 2008.

Low latency technology provider Wombat is running a fully subscribed pilot of a new middleware solution which it claims enables ultra high performance messaging with minimal data centre resource consumption.
The vendor reckons it has proven the power of Wombat Data Fabric and its ability to provide market-leading density on open, standard x86 hardware by running a full data from OPRA, the US options market, on a single Intel-based server available in a single rack unit (1U) form factor. In the test using a full day of OPRA data, the OPRA feed handler, running on a two socket eight core Intel 5400 Xeon server, published all updates on all symbols to MAMA clients across a single Voltaire network switch. Average CPU utilisation was just 10 per cent, escalating to less than 35 per cent at peaks, with a mean latency of less than 100 microseconds. No speciality or proprietary hardware devices, such as FPGA cards, are required by the solution, reducing cost and complexity when compared with alternative “appliance” approaches, Wombat reckons.

Azul Systems, provider of server appliances that deliver compute and memory resources as a shared network service, and Gemstone Systems, supplier of distributed data management and virtualisation solutions, have forged an alliance to deliver highly scalable and available data grids for Extreme Transaction Processing. The joint solution – which stems from a mutual engagement for the two companies at a leading Wall Street bank - provides “breakthrough” scalability and performance, the vendors say, enabling faster response times and more throughput to process stateful data in enterprise IT infrastructures, along with what they claim is unprecedentedly high availability. In the capital markets arena, the partners are targeting the high performance solution at applications such as real-time order management, trade execution, risk analysis and compliance.

GemStone Systems has released GemFire Enterprise 5.1, a core component of its enterprise data fabric (EDF). The new release serves as a distributed operational data management infrastructure that sits between clustered application processes and back-end data sources to provide very low latency, predictable, high-throughput data sharing and event distribution. By managing data in memory, GemFire Enterprise 5.1 enables high-speed data sharing that turns a network of machines into a single, logical data management unit or a data fabric.
