This week is the SIFMA(Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association) technology management conferencein NYC. The city has been brutally hotand the NYC Hilton exhibit hall, at least where Apama is, has not beenmeasurably cooler. Those $5.00 bottles of water that they sell in the exhibithall might represent opportunism - or capitalism - at its best. Or maybe it's justNYC. :-)
First day attendance has beenquite good and I'd encourage any attending to stop by the Apama exhibit (GrandBallroom, Level 2, #2415). You'll see a range of demos, including our new 4.0release, and see some of the “magic” of CEP in action (you'll have to come byto understand the magic reference). Alot has been happening with Apama and we've used this show to make somesignificant announcements.
- A partnership with NYSEEuronext Advanced Trading Solutions that enables NYSE Euronext ATS to offer itscustomers Apama-based CEP capabilities for algorithmic trading, real-time riskmanagement, and smart order routing. The announcement has received significantpress pickup, including a nice story in the Financial Times.
- A technology developmentcollaboration with Sun Microsystems involving support of the Apama platform on Sun x64 systems, running the Solaris 10, as wellas the launch of a new Apama “Accelerator”, the Apama Real-time PricingAccelerator. Apama continues to focus on application templates that enhance thespeed with which solutions can be deployed and this Accelerator extends thattheme into the area of market-making for bonds and other instruments.
- Announcement of the upcomingavailability of above-mentioned Apama 4.0, which introduces a new developmentenvironment, Apama Studio. Studio brings all the Apama development toolstogether within a single, integrated environment, complete with tutorials,sample applications and other aids. You might consider Apama 4.0 as, at itsheart, a CEP Accelerator. 4.0 alsoincludes significant enhancements to Apama's execution performance, partiallyachieved via a new event messaging transport.
So a lot is happening both inNYC and at Apama.
Now if the Celtics could onlyclose out the Lakers.
