Features and benefits
WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging delivers enhanced intelligent self management, monitoring and networking, and other new features to the high-volume, low-latency reliable messaging capabilities previously available. These new features can make WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging an even more attractive solution for trading firms, exchanges and other organizations that need assured delivery of high volumes of data with low latency.
WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging is ideal for organizations that require:
High messaging throughput and extremely low latency
One-to-many multicast and point-to-point unicast messaging
Support for User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Stream failover for high availability even when using commodity hardware
Message traffic rate and congestion control
A low latency message store for lightweight persistence
Shared memory for inter-process communication
A coordination manager for simplified topic provisioning
Native InfiniBand support
10 GbE support
Flexible, fine-grained message filtering
Robust application and network statistics monitoring for internal and external latency
WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging is particularly suitable for financial markets use cases, including:
Efficient market data distribution - Enables low latency communication to downstream applications that perform functions like trading, analytics and compliance. Congestion management software detects and actively manages congestion, offering memory buffer usage limits with notification; limits on data retransmission with notification; transmission rate limitation; and slow consumer policies.
Reliable trade execution - Delivers highly reliable communication to the downstream execution infrastructure without performance degradation, with high availability and flexible message filtering for complex execution routing.
Real-time market analytics - Offers robust message filtering to deliver relevant information to downstream applications that perform analytics and compliance.
WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging can be used as a key element of low latency solutions for financial firms or within other industries that require reliable, high-speed data delivery. The software is also embedded in WebSphere Front Office, a scalable, high-performance, low-latency market data delivery platform.
