The increasingly distributed nature of enterprise IT infrastructure has made high-performance messaging an important element of every company’s success. Reliable messaging establishes a real-time flow of information between many applications and other sources of information such as market data, inventory information, sensor readings or emergency alerts.

Solace’s High-Performance Reliable Messaging

Solace’s hardware-based high-performance reliable messaging solution can forward, filter and fan out as many as 10 million messages a second to thousands of subscribers over client-specific TCP connections. This TCP-based unicast distribution of information enables lower latency with greater predictability all while eliminating the hassles and risks of multicast.

Solace’s high-performance reliable messaging solution can split traffic evenly between ingress and egress (e.g. 5M in, 5M out), weighted toward ingress (e.g. 8M in, 2M out) for filtration scenarios such as CEP pre-processing, or weighted toward egress (e.g. 2M in, 8M out) for scenarios where a smaller number of messages need to be fanned out to many subscribers.

Advantages and Benefits

• More precise, secure delivery: Unicast delivery means every client receives exactly the messages they need, so they don’t waste CPU identifying and deleting unwanted messages. This precision also means applications only get messages they are subscribed and authorized to receive, which improves the security of the system.
• Elimination of broadcast storms: Unicast delivery ensures that companies will never experience the embarrassing and costly slowdowns and downtime of multicast storms.
• Accommodation of mixed environments: Enterprise IT systems span a wide range of assets, from mainframes to mobile devices, connected via network links of varying throughput (e.g. 100 Mbps, 1Gbps and 10GGbps). Solace’s solution automatically buffers messages and plays them out at a rate each link and recipient can handle.
