Advantages

• wideband data links,
• deep integration into the Universal Messaging platform
• the general development environment with other products of Software AG.

Wideband data links increase performance on one server by 20 times - more than 32 million events per second. At horizontal scaling performance can grow to billions of events per second. This result is provided with separation of a data stream into several channels that allows to involve architecture of parallel processing as much as possible. Data do not "mix up" with each other, and the probability of emergence of "bottlenecks" is equal to zero. It means an opportunity to structure applications for developers so that their data could be processed independently and be executed in parallel.

During testing of performance, specialists of Intel and Software AG developed the scenario assuming use of one server on the Intel Xeon E7-V2 platform to which the system equivalent to network of 700 thousand retail stores is connected. The Apama platform placed on the server under control of Intel Xeon E7-V2 could process 5.6 million data-refresh per second.

The Apama platform is the popular solution among players in the capital markets. It is extremely important to similar companies to have high performance applications with the low level of a delay for high-frequency trading, implementation of electronic transactions in the Forex market, the analysis of an environment and risk management. The solution Apama Streaming Analytics collects data from a set of sources, helping to monitor the current market situation, to analyze huge arrays of dynamic Big Data (including stream data from counters, information from social networks and from mobile devices). Thanks to it users can quickly make the competent decisions helping to move business forward.
