Problem – When Real-time is the Right Time
As enterprises become ever more distributed and complex, data integration becomes increasingly difficult, especially in industries such as broker/dealers, process manufacturers, and power distribution where real-time data is essential. For example, in financial services real-time analysis of positions, prices and trades can significantly improve trading profits, reduce risk, improve compliance, and cut operational costs.
At enterprise-scale, providing data in real-time is a difficult system design challenge as it requires a range of robust data integration capabilities including data virtualization, change data capture, messaging, and data consolidation – each contributing their greatest strengths to a harmonious and accelerated result.
Real-time Enterprise Data Infrastructure
Solution – Composite Data Virtualization Provides Critical Infrastructure
In a typical real-time data infrastructure, changing data capture immediately offloads data from transaction systems to operational data stores as transactions occur. Data services built and run on the Composite Information Server then surface this data to downstream consumers using both push and pull techniques. By providing a range of caching techniques, including distributed and centralized, incremental and batch, and in-memory and database, an by working transparently with leading ESB messaging middleware, Composite can get the latest data where it needs to be, from a trader’s desktop in Asia to a compliance officer’s dashboard in Manhattan, in a few seconds or less.
Selected Examples
- Real time Trading Data, Worldwide – To better control trading risk and costs that arose due to several successful acquisitions, this global money center bank realized they needed a new data infrastructure that would require the most advanced capabilities from several best of breed data integration middleware providers, including Golden Gate for CDC, Tibco for ESB, Oracle for databases, and Composite Software for data virtualization. Not only did Composite provide the critical data services that unlock this data to a multiple analytic and compliance applications, Composite architects helped design the overall approach.
