StreamBase 3.0 Extends Performance Leadership & Broadens Enterprise Interoperability for Streaming Apps.


BOSTON -- Pioneer & Leader of Complex Event Processing Complex Event Processing, or CEP, is a technology for building and managing event-driven information systems. CEP is primarily an event processing concept that deals with the task of processing multiple events from an event cloud with the goal of identifying the meaningful  Further Cements Its Position As The Fastest, Most Extensible Platform For Processing Real-Time Streaming Data Data that is structured and processed in a continuous flow, such as digital audio and video. See streaming audio and streaming video.

StreamBase Systems, Inc., the pioneer of enterprise-class stream processing For other uses, see Event Stream Processing.
Stream processing is a relatively new, yet quite successful paradigm to allow parallel processing at never-before-seen efficiency with minimal effort.
 software that transforms real-time complex events into instantaneous competitive advantage, today announced the general availability of StreamBase 3.0. The new release features the industry's fastest stream processing engine, fueling the capacity to process from tens of thousands to over one million messages per second with near-zero latency. These industry-first performance levels empower global enterprises to run real-time streaming applications that can process high-volume data from a variety of sources to drive increased profits. StreamBase 3.0 also further extends the benefits of streaming applications enterprise-wide by integrating with TIBCO TIBCO The Information Bus Company  Enterprise Message Service(TM) (EMS) and the Microsoft .NET See .NET.  Framework(TM) through the StreamBase Software Development Kit (SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK.

).

"StreamBase is taking an innovative approach to solving the problem of large volume data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a ," said Joe Clabby, Founder and President of Clabby Analytics. "This latest version greatly accelerates real-time data Real-time data denotes information that is delivered immediately after collection. There is no delay in the timeliness of the information provided.

Some uses of this term confuse it with the term dynamic data.
 processing performance on commodity hardware. And, StreamBase's graphical user development interface enables developers to build decision support and analytical applications quickly -- while automating functions associated with the design of complex, custom-coded applications."
Highlights from StreamBase 3.0 include:

    --  StreamOptimizer(TM): Unprecedented Performance & Speed,
        Near-Zero Latency -- In a variety of industries, business
        users and IT are struggling to manage and leverage increased
        volumes of real-time data. Embedded inside of StreamBase's
        Stream Processing Engine, StreamOptimizer addresses this
        challenge by instantly accelerating the analysis and
        processing of business information, and offering the
        capability to easily leverage more data from more sources.
        With StreamBase 3.0's near-zero latency, enterprises can
        swiftly capitalize on business opportunities and address any
        imminent risks.

        With StreamOptimizer, StreamBase's Stream Processing Engine
        now runs three times faster than the previous 2.5 version.
        Because StreamBase is inherently built to leverage the use of
        multiple processors, StreamOptimizer can significantly
        speed-up many stream processing operations to achieve
        extraordinary performance. StreamOptimizer accomplishes this
        by dynamically compiling StreamBase applications at run-time,
        enabling optimal processing and analysis of data streams.
        StreamOptimizer also enables developers to easily synchronize
        and combine high-speed sequential operations to reduce
        latency. Ultimately, this drives accelerated performance and
        ensures correct parallel processing of fast-moving data.

        Companies that leverage StreamOptimizer will also witness
        bottom-line IT savings. Unlike any other Complex Event
        Processing (CEP) technology available, StreamOptimizer enables
        most streaming applications to run large data volumes on a
        single server. Applications built with lower-capacity systems
        often require additional coding and system resources to run
        across multiple servers and keep up with high throughput
        rates.


"StreamBase built the industry's first and fastest stream processing engine, and we continue to raise the performance bar again," said Barry Morris Barry Morris (20 April 1935–19 May 2001) was an Australian politician,[1] who in 1995 was jailed for making bomb and death threats.

--  StreamBase Software Development Kit (SDK): Increased
        Interoperability & Extensibility -- In order to further
        leverage the benefits of real-time streaming applications
        across the enterprise, StreamBase 3.0 offers more integration
        options in the StreamBase SDK for leveraging a standards-based
        infrastructure. StreamBase 3.0 provides integration with
        Microsoft .NET and also includes compatibility with TIBCO
        Enterprise Message Service (EMS). This increased
        interoperability further drives the delivery and exchange of
        real-time data across platforms and applications, and
        significantly reduces integration time for capturing and
        analyzing time-critical business information. StreamBase
        offers integration with enterprise data through TIBCO
        Rendezvous(R), ODBC/JDBC, and Java and C++ APIs. Additionally,
        StreamBase provides adapters to financial market data feeds
        and Microsoft(R) Excel. StreamBase also recently announced
        compatibility with a number of 64-bit high performance chips,
        including the AMD Opteron(TM) processor.

About StreamBase

StreamBase Systems was founded in 2003 to address the processing demands of low latency Low latency allows human-unnoticeable delays between an input being processed and the corresponding output providing real time characteristics. This can be especially important for internet connections utilizing services such as online gaming and VOIP - VOIP is not as important as , real-time computing “Realtime” redirects here. For other uses, see Realtime (disambiguation).

In computer science, real-time computing (RToC) is the study of hardware and software systems which are subject to a "real-time constraint"—i.e.
. The first in a new breed of systems software, the StreamBase stream processing engine helps organizations in financial services, telecom and networking, e-Business, government and military and other industries transform streaming data into competitive advantage through applications that deliver instantaneous response. Current customers include leading exchanges, hedge funds hedge fund, in finance, a highly speculative, largely unregulated investment device. Originating in the 1950s, the funds "hedge" by offsetting "short" positions (borrowing a security and then selling it at a higher price before repaying the lender) against "long"  and investment firms, where applications require rapid execution of queries, analytics and actions using real-time streaming data. StreamBase is headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts Lexington is a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 30,355 at the 2000 census.
