As you might have guessed from my previous posting regarding 29West’s Ultra Messaging software, I am very keen on this product!

29West provides the lowest latency, highest performance and most stable messaging infrastructure to the financial markets that I have found to date. In addition to the obvious competitive advantages low latency messaging delivers, their design can provide large costs savings as they are able to handle considerably more messaging traffic with less hardware.

Ultra Messaging®, 29West’s messaging product suite is high speed, low latency, IP-based communication between the large numbers of cooperating computers in today’s financial systems. The Ultra Messaging product suite includes Latency Busters® Messaging (LBM) and Ultra Messaging® for the Enterprise (UME).

LBM is a fast, efficient, and lightweight streaming messaging system targeted specifically at market data applications. Its many unique design features provide low latency, stability & control under heavy loads, integration flexibility make it particularly well-suited for applications with very high message rates. UME leverages the proven LBM API and with our breakthrough Parallel Persistence™ design, provides support for durable subscriptions, delivery confirmation and persistent messaging with latency as low as 70 microseconds. 29West’s messaging products eliminate the need for message daemons or message brokers resulting in a true application-to-application messaging system.

With these offerings, 29West provides the application developer the power needed to easily handle growing market data rates and the latency edge needed to be competitive, along with many other advantages.

If you have a need for high performance messaging I strongly recommend you seriously consider 29West!

Enjoy
