Due to the increase in TAQ data volume and data flow rates, conventional relational database management systems (RDBMS) cannot meet the real-time query requirements for automated securities trading and real-time market analysis. Sybase Risk Analytics Platform 3.0 is designed to meet this challenge.
RAP is designed to consolidate risk data, reference data, and real-time and historical trade data in one repository for presenting the data to different application environments in real-time. The product has a RAM-resident cache database, which is configured to capture streaming data, and a disk-based repository for storing historical data. The capacity of the historical repository reaches into the petabyte range. The VLDB repository is a column-based data store and is capable of scaling to a high number of concurrent user connections.
