The increasingly comprehensive and real-time flow of information within and between organizations is revolutionizing how they get things done, make decisions and interact with customers. As this trend continues to reshape enterprise IT, it will be increasingly important for applications, employees and decision-makers to be able to get a filtered stream of just the information and instructions they need.
Solution Summary
Solace’s solution can filter and forward information based on the content of messages, quickly route it to relevant recipients, and transform it along the way so each recipient receives a version that meets their specific requirements.
Advantages and Benefits
- Simplifies sending information: With content-based routing, applications don’t need to specify where each message needs to go, or even describe it with a structured topic. They simply publish information to the messaging system where Solace’s solution matches it with and delivers it to all appropriate recipients.
- Simplifies subscribing to desired data: Content-based routing makes it so consumers of information don’t need to subscribe to specific feeds or poll known locations for information. They just express their interest in certain keywords and kinds of information, and Solace’s solution identifies all of the messages they need to receive.
- Makes content routing viable for more applications: Other content routing solutions have to match content to subscriptions in software, which requires so much processing power that it’s only been practical or cost-effective for low-volume applications. Because Solace’s solution performs all routing and transformation in hardware, it offers unprecedented performance that lets organizations leverage content-based routing in scenarios that involve high data volumes and message rates.
- Application efficiency and focus: Performing message transformation as a service on the network means applications can send and receive information in their native format, eliminating the wasted CPU cycles and distraction of reformatting it themselves.
- Enhanced security: Solace’s solution considers each recipient’s security credentials when determining whether or not to send them a given message. And as part of reformatting messages for various kinds of consumers and display devices, Solace’s solution can remove select message fields so recipients can be sent subsets of information that they’re authorized to receive.
