RAP - The Trading Edition

RAP - The Trading Edition (Sybase RAP) is a consolidated trading and risk data repository and data services platform for customers in the Capital Markets and Investment Management sectors.

By consolidating market data from vendor feeds, historical time series data, real-time trades and quotes (TAQ) data, and reference data in one repository, Sybase RAP eliminates or reduces intraday and overnight batch processing and supports model-driven quantitative trading and real-time portfolio decisions by presenting subsets of data to various applications.

Sybase RAP Infrastructure
Sybase RAP 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.
Why Sybase RAP?
Conventional relational database management systems (RDBMS) cannot meet the real-time query requirements for automated securities trading and real-time market analysis. Sybase RAP is designed to meet this challenge.
RAPStore Database
Sybase RAP captures real-time data flow in both the cache database and the repository and maintains a cached-copy and a disk-based copy; the repository stores the union of the historical and intraday data as one complete time series.
RAPCache Database
Sybase RAP stores current market data in an in-memory cache database, RAPCache.
Data Model Overview
Sybase RAP uses a data model that supports institutional trading and prime brokerage business processes. The data model includes the submodels Instrument and Market Data.
Sample Queries
Sybase RAP includes SQL scripts and sample data that allow you to run sample queries. You can run the scripts against the sample data to evaluate the retrieval performance for historical or real-time (intraday) data.
