Solace Systems

Cloud Computing

It is possible that this cloud in which we are
entrapped is a living thing. The cloud is alive.

– Mr. Spock, Star Trek

Cloud and grid architectures are making clustered computing environments an increasingly effective platform for enterprise and consumer-focused applications. Such systems hinge on the real-time synchronization of many computers within and across datacenters, which introduces the need to distribute many millions of messages a second with low, predictable latency.

Solution Summary

Solace’s solution can help enterprises unlock the value of cloud computing by filtering and forwarding millions of messages a second between systems with consistently low latency. Solace’s solution can handle the inbound requirement of capturing and normalizing data from many sources, the internal need to monitor the information flow on a per-client and per-connection basis, and the fanout of data and alerts to any number of recipients.

Advantages and Benefits

  • Higher performance: With a pure hardware datapath, Solace’s purpose-built message routers deliver messages without being subject to the performance limitations and unpredictability of software and operating systems running on commodity servers.
  • Lower cost and complexity / server consolidation: By handling message volumes that would require as many as 10-20 servers with a single message router, Solace reduces the cost and complexity of deploying and running a messaging system.
  • Efficient bandwidth utilization: Solace’s message routers maintain a synchronized understanding of subscriptions across the network, so they forward messages only to routers with clients who need them. Solace’s message routers fan out messages at the edge, so only one copy of each message is sent between the routers.
  • Real-time publish/subscribe: Solace’s solution can make it easy for developers to push information to other applications and Ajax-based rich Internet applications, a powerful technique they can use to create more sophisticated applications and user experiences.
