Solution Overview
The SWITCHWARE Enterprise Messaging System (formerly known as VOLTDS®) is a network control and message routing software system that provides message delivery functions for the SWITCHWARE® and EZswitch® core applications allowing them to communicate with external nodes in the network including ATM’s, POS devices, switch networks and core systems. EMS manages the overhead associated with coordinating communication requirements between the application and the external nodes. It accomplishes this using a library of device drivers, with each driver associated with a supported communication protocol.
Using the G4-web graphical user interface, system administrators have detailed monitoring and online information for all network nodes and connections to SWITCHWARE. It provides network and application maintenance plus audit and event log review.
Functionality Includes:
- Message delivery manager
- Strips protocol from messages
- Supports multiple protocol types
- Dynamic networking
- ODBC interface support
- Browser-based GUI user interface
- Manages EFT network and node definitions
- Enables API functions
Supported Protocols
- TCP/IP
- UDP/IP
- HTTPS
- SOAP XML
- Sonic MQ
- Websphere MQ
NOTE: Legacy protocol support is provided using various partner gateway products.
What does EMS provide?
- A high-performance framework for building business critical online transaction processing (OLTP) applications.
- API functions that enable online application program development without intricate network programming.
- A threaded architecture that uses less memory and improves scalability.
- Uses a smart thread pool which optimizes system performance by dynamically allocating or freeing threads.
- Takes automatic corrective actions to maximize network up-time and reduce the need for operator intervention.
- Includes a browser-based interface to provide network and application maintenance as well as the monitoring of maintenance audit trails and event logs.
