The industry leading performance achieved in data grids by combining Azul’s hardware with GemStone’s GemFire Enterprise Data Fabric will provide instantaneous application response times to customers without compromising linear scalability.
The solution is designed to address IT performance challenges and data management bottlenecks related to business critical applications, for example in the capital markets sector which is faced with increasing reliance on electronic trade execution, growing volume of transactions, and rising complexity of instruments. Azul and GemStone are addressing these challenges with high-performance solutions that support real-time order management, trade execution, risk analysis, and compliance.
“Technology enabled businesses are increasingly relying on Extreme Transaction Processing applications to support core operational systems,” said Massimo Pezzini, Gartner VP Distinguished Analyst. “Emerging high-performance and high-availability technologies for stateful data management are key enablers for XTP applications that must deliver the extreme levels of performance, availability and scalability required by businesses to remain competitive and grow.”
