Bangalore: U.S based GemStone Systems, a provider of the enterprise data fabric (EDF), has announced the availability of the GemCache data transaction benchmark with Intel and IBM. The benchmark, conducted by the Securities Technology Analysis Center (STAC), tested the in-memory caching solution in a transaction environment such as electronic trading.
In the single-server test, the GemCache solution was configured with GemFire Enterprise 5.0 software, running on an IBM BladeCenter HS21 server with dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5355 processors.
GemCache demonstrated real zero-loss reliability and guaranteed messaging into the "transaction", exceeding traditional criteria set for transaction-only benchmark tests. In the multi-server tests, a Cisco InfiniBand switch integrated in the IBM BladeCenter, was used to provide a high performance interconnect.
The benchmark results showed the best-of-breed solution that was able to support latency of less than 1 millisecond (987 msec) at 6000 orders per second, with full data replication using a two-server GemCache configuration.
"The combination of automated trading and regulatory changes on both sides of the Atlantic have brought a rapid increase in the volume of transactions and transaction-related messages, which make it much harder to keep latency in check," said Peter Lankford, founder and Director of STAC.
GemStone Systems has expanded its software operations to regions in Asia Pacific and Europe. GemStone System'sdevelopment center in Pune, which is the headquarters of the company for its Asia-Pacific business, focuses on tie-ups with software companies in India.
