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.
Real-time data streams from market data vendors can be loaded into the cache repository very quickly to keep the data current. Real-time data streams can also be loaded into the store repository simultaneously to continuously build upon historical data. You can use the RAPStore database with Sybase Replication Server (sold separately), so that transaction updates can be automatically applied to the Sybase RAPdata.
Sybase RAP incorporates a data model designed for multiasset portfolio trading applications and includes a tool for managing physical data models. This product also includes scripts for configuring the repository for high performance, test data, and performance tuning procedures.
