  • Rethinking Offshore Delivery: Is Your WAN Ready?

    It's not a particularly well-kept secret that most delays in an Offshore Delivery set-up are accredited to a company’s inability to secure the necessary infrastructure on time. Take MPLS for instance, it's rigid, prohibitive, plus scheduling with regional providers can stretch the installation process into months. When mission-critical connectivity is of the essence, inflexible deployments translate into lost revenue. For seamless connectivity into the customer's premises, ODCs need a robust network with guaranteed SLAs. But how do you get the reliability of MPLS with the internet like flexibility?

  • Capturing Broad Exposure in China A-Shares

    Following the Party Congress in October, China is back to business and focused on growth.

  • How to Simplify SOA Development Using Connext DDS, Part 3 of 6

    The design and development of distributed systems is challenging. Currently there are multiple ongoing efforts that aim to simplify development by providing reusable patterns and architectures that can be applied across different industries. RTI ConnextⓇ DDS provides a holistic solution for distributing data that follows, at its core, a data-centric publish-subscribe communication model. This communication pattern is extremely flexible and is often considered a super pattern upon which many well-known patterns, such as request-reply and queuing, can be constructed. In this Tech Talk, we explain how to implement Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) using standard Data Distribution ServiceTM (DDS) features. In particular, we will demonstrate how to leverage mechanisms defined in the OMG® Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) Over DDS specification to create DDS Services, and will show how to leverage RTI Connext Request-Reply APIs to use them. As part of the presentation, we'll take a sneak peek into some of the upcoming features in Connext DDS that aim to simplify the development of SOA and perform a live demonstration that showcases a few examples of these applications. Attend this Tech Talk to learn: - Specific Connext DDS features that can simplify the implementation of SOA - How Connext DDS helps developers leverage the OMG’s RPC Over DDS specification to create DDS Services - How to establish flexible communication patterns such as request-reply and queuing
