Progress Software Launches Apama Parallel Correlator

Progress Software Corp. announced the latest release of the Progress Apama Complex Event Processing (CEP) platform with a Parallel Correlator that leverages multi-core, multi-processor functionality.

The Apama Parallel Correlator delivers complex event processing performance by providing developers and business users with speed and event throughput, resulting in improved real-time visibility and operational responsiveness.

Maureen Fleming, Program Director for IDC's Business Process Management and Middleware service noted, "Software that supports the full capacity of multi-core servers offers enterprises the opportunity to significantly improve performance and reduce cost. Given the importance of cost-effective, high-speed throughput for CEP, software products that make full use of modern server technology are at a strong competitive advantage that extends not just to the vendor but to customers adopting this technology."

Dr. John Bates, founder and general manager, Apama division of Progress Software, said, "This new Apama product release demonstrates a fundamental shift in the design, development and deployment of CEP applications in a way that makes it even easier for business users to benefit from CEP on multi-core architectures in real time. The pace at which organizations accumulate and analyze data is increasing exponentially, and CEP products must keep pace. The Apama platform is designed to meet and surpass the changing needs of businesses, and is the foundation for a CEP solution that delivers unprecedented performance with limitless scalability."

According to a release, Apama Parallel Correlator capabilities include:

- Support for Intel and SPARC hardware that provide multiple threads per core (and, multiple cores per CPU).

- Reduces the complexity of designing and implementing concurrent CEP applications.

- Implementation is a natural extension of CEP development and deployment using event processing language and visual design tools.

- Thread management process enabling parallel contexts to be created.

- Apama Smart Scheduler ensures optimal scheduling of contexts on operating system threads.

Progress Software provides application infrastructure software for the development, deployment, integration and management of business applications.
