Tervela Extends Message Network with Open Data Framework

Scalable Platform Drives Interoperability across the Enterprise with AMQP Integration
and Support for Open Standards, Applications and Protocols

 

NEW YORK, March 2, 2009 — Tervela, the leading provider of hardware-accelerated, low-latency messaging systems, today announced the availability of version 3.5 of its Tervela Message Network™ platform. This release introduces the Tervela Open Data Framework, a comprehensive toolset designed to simplify data management and drive interoperability across the enterprise with support for open standards, applications and protocols.

 

Providing a fully open and extensible framework, Tervela’s scalable platform addresses market demand for access to existing and evolving industry standards that include Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (AMQP) – an open standard application layer protocol for Message Oriented Middleware. The framework also fosters the development of new services and allows existing applications to run natively on the Tervela Message Network, reinvigorating them with core attributes of speed, stability and scalability. This eliminates the need to rewrite existing applications and deploy additional computing resources, which eases integration, removes complexity and yields significant reductions in both rack space – often as high as 90 percent – and total cost of ownership.

 

“Tervela is leading the way to interoperability by providing support for protocols such as AMQP on its hardware-accelerated message network,” said Larry Cohen, CEO of Accelerated Computing Solutions. “Combining open standards with a high-performance, scalable infrastructure enables businesses to deliver more demanding applications and react more effectively to market opportunities.”

 

Tervela’s Open Data Framework offers customers, partners and third-party application vendors the following tools to quickly develop and extend the network without costly customization and integration efforts:

• Open API Extensions: expose rich messaging metadata to facilitate API customization and greater application integration
• Open Services Software Development Kit (SDK): presents a comprehensive development library that enables the rapid integration, provisioning and management of a diverse set of messaging services on the Tervela TSE Service Engine™
• Open Data Transport: extends the Tervela TMX Message Switch™ to provide the ability to seamlessly add data sources and map communications directly to any wire protocol
• Open Data Format: provides access to data stored on the Tervela TPE Persistence Engine™ for post-processing and analytical application development

“Our Open Data Framework provides a growing, interoperable ecosystem that further extends the Tervela Message Network to meet evolving market requirements for scalable, future-ready solutions,” said Barry Thompson, founder and CEO of Tervela. “Customers benefit from the extensibility of our platform because it significantly reduces data center footprints and integrates easily with new and emerging industry standards.”
