“In delivering enterprise-class applications to global organizations, especially in financial services, telecommunications, and the government, we understand that they require a high-end platform to manage the lifeblood of their organizations – their real-time data,” said Barry Morris, president and CEO of StreamBase. “With StreamBase, industry leaders are acquiring a solid software platform for building and leveraging a sophisticated class of applications uniquely positioned to manage unprecedented real-time data volumes.”
With the massive amount of information hitting their organizations, especially for financial services companies that must track very large and complex portfolios with multiple asset classes and an immense number of financial instruments, the move to 64-bit computing is critical. Systems running on 32-bit restrict the amount of physical memory to 4 gigabytes (GB), which stifles real-time risk management because oftentimes all the critical real-time and historical information relating to the assets cannot be handled simultaneously. 64-bit enables faster application performance and greater scalability because enterprises can leverage twice as much memory space, substantially increasing response times to actionable data.
In addition to its unmatched processing speed with 64-bit, StreamBase includes the following capabilities for enterprise-class deployments:
- High Performance Programming – Scalable, next-generation query language through StreamSQL for rapidly building real-time applications that can handle the most demanding high-volume, high-speed complex events
- Graphical “Point & Click” Development – Accelerates time-to-prototype and speed-to-production fifty times faster than traditional coding through a friendly Graphic User Interface (GUI)
- Scalable Enterprise Infrastructure – Provides multiple options for managing stored data, including the insertion of custom logic and analytics to data streams, and adapters to external data sources and messaging systems.
“StreamBase has made some outstanding advancements in how enterprises process, analyze, and act on real-time information and the move to 64-bit is the next logical step,” said Richard Finlayson, director of Segment and Industry Solutions at AMD. “There is great synergy between StreamBase’s software and the AMD Opteron processor - both are designed with the flexibility and adaptability to meet current and future business needs, while also eliminating integration headaches. The hardware and software combination is a great solution for enterprise customers running data-intensive applications.”
