The Risk Analytics Platform stores large amounts of historical, reference, and real-time data from corporate sources, market data vendors, and securities exchanges for fast access by automated trading applications and various user communities with analytic needs in customer organizations. The real-time data stream and scheduled downloads from market data vendors can be loaded into the repository very quickly using loading utilities at very frequent intervals (within seconds of delivery) to keep the data current. RAP 2.0 includes a set of load scripts to help automate the data loading process for real-time data that has been batched and transformed into a flat file format. The RAP repository can also be used in conjunction with Replication Server (not included in the RAP product), so that transactional updates can be applied to the RAP data.
RAP incorporates a data model designed for multi-asset portfolio trading applications and includes a tool for managing physical data models. The scripts for configuring the repository for high performance, test data, and performance tuning procedures are also included.
RAP version 2.0 also incorporates a in-memory cache database. This feature provides for real-time access to streaming market data.The store of current data provides query results within milliseconds, enabling the “trade on the tick.”
