Enterprise data integration software provider Informatica has released new upgrades and additions to its Ultra Messaging product line, including Latency Busters Messaging (LBM) 4.0, a new release of the low-latency messaging product.
According to Informatica, the LBM 4.0 incorporates a new shared memory-based mode of transporting data among applications running on the same machine called Inter-Process Communications (IPC). These capabilities, coupled with a nearly linear horizontal scaling to multiple CPU cores, make it a suitable offering for high-frequency electronic trading and other financial services operations.
Informatica said that the new enhancements to Ultra Low-Latency Load Balancing (ULB) enables Ultra Messaging processes to be horizontally scaled across multiple CPU or servers without the need for development work.
The new Ultra Messaging Queuing (UMQ) Edition extends the performance and reliability advantages of the Ultra Messaging line to back- and middle-office applications requiring low-latency, once-and-only-once messaging. It provides fault tolerant queuing, low-latency load balancing, and multiple dissemination models for flexible application design, the company claims.
Mark Mahowald, general manager of Ultra Messaging at Informatica, said: "Low latency messaging gives our customers a competitive advantage in their business, which is critical as scalability and speed are imperative to stay one step ahead of the competition.
"Since the recent 29West acquisition by Informatica, we have been able to further accelerate our pace of innovation and broaden the ways we serve the financial services industry."
