Talarian Corporation, provider of real-time middleware, today announced the release of the super-charged SmartSockets 5.2 at the GartnerGroup conference at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.
The latest version of the software, which offers integrated Reliable Internet Protocol (IP) multicast and self-describing messages, delivers new features that allow customers to get their systems online faster and achieve superior levels of performance and scalability.
The GartnerGroup conference, titled "Application Integration: Building a Zero Latency Enterprise," is focused on helping IT management resolve diverse enterprise application integration problems. Presenting the newest edition of the software at the conference was Talarian`s International General Manager, Ken Payne. In his presentation, Payne discussed how the increasing demand for organizations to implement zero-latency enterprises is driving the demand for high-performance middleware, such as SmartSockets 5.2.
"Improvements in this new version are designed to meet these demands with increasingly competitive levels of performance and scalability never offered before," Payne explained.
The enhancements offered in SmartSockets 5.2 not only delivers on sheer speed, but removes the complicated process of communicating across multiple platforms. "By tightly integrating IP multicast into SmartSockets, Talarian`s customers can now disseminate more information than ever before, while providing a way to easily build systems which disseminate information between different organizations," Payne said.
"SmartSockets 5.2 is the only middleware that allows developers to choose whether messages are sent across the network using Unicast, Multicast, or a combination of both. This level of flexibility is required for large mission-critical applications in which processes must communicate over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), corporate Intranets or the Internet," he added.
SmartSockets 5.2 is available immediately on most major computing platforms and automatically accessible by current Talarian customers who are under maintenance contracts. A free, downloadable demo version of the product is also available at Talarian`s Web site, http://www.talarian.com/.
