Solace middleware appliances simplify big data distribution

To seize the opportunities presented by big data, cloud computing or the "Internet of Things", a company must be ready to efficiently manage very large amounts of information. Leading messaging middleware appliance maker Solace Systems simplifies the movement of data across distributed applications, sensor networks, mobile devices and all kinds of enterprise information technology (IT) systems.

"We make it easier to establish a real-time flow of information between the countless devices, applications and databases that modern enterprises rely on to conduct business and serve customers," says Craig Betts, CEO of Solace Systems. "Our market-leading appliances reduce the cost, complexity and footprint of your IT infrastructure by unifying all kinds of data distribution into one platform."

The company's appliances support Java Message Service, Message Queuing, low latency and persistent messaging over local area networks, long-distance Wide Area Network links, and the internet. Each Solace appliance can route millions of messages a second and can be divided into dozens of virtual messaging platforms to securely support many applications. That means each appliance can replace dozens of servers running messaging software, which translates into a more compact and less complex system.

Solace products have earned the trust of leading banks, government agencies, telecommunications and transportation companies around the world. In Asia, Solace has been deployed by many leading companies, including the Korea Exchange, Standard Chartered Bank and Hong Kong Jockey Club.

"I particularly enjoy working with Hong Kong's innovative IT community because it's so international and diverse. It's like doing business all over the world in one city," Betts says. "For example, Hong Kong Jockey Club's chief information officer, Christoph Ganswindt, was formerly CIO of Deutsche Telekom and also Lufthansa."

Solace has established partnerships with regional consulting partners such as Hong Kong-based Serisys Solutions and Sonivy Technology. It welcomes new partners to help more Asian businesses overcome the challenges associated with big data, cloud computing and the "Internet of Things".
