[edit] The Project/Product

[edit] Project Background

No other market reacts as sensitively to small changes as the financial market. No other workplace is as dependent on rapid access and quick reaction to data. So in developing HiPath (formerly Hicom Trading E), a new generation of trading systems for banks, brokers, and Siemens Private Communications Systems Group needed the most accurate and fastest DBMS available.

[edit] Business Priorities

The Objectivity/DB Solution: With a list of requirements like Siemens’, no other DBMS can compare to Objectivity/DB. By incorporating the leading-edge performance of Objectivity/DB, HiPath can be expanded to an international network of workplaces by switched and fixed connections.

The client-server architecture enables global, network-wide administration in real time. Decentralized distribution of several system managers allows data management to proceed according to the "daylight principle": in other words, after business closes in Singapore, Frankfurt takes over, and then New York when Frankfurt shuts down

[edit] Technical Priorities

HiPath would be designed for multimedia and the particularly demanding requirements of this rapidly changing market. Stability, rapid connections, distributed architecture, decentralization and scalability were among the top must-have elements of its functionality.

[edit] Why They Chose Objectivity

"We selected Objectivity/DB as the object-oriented database management system because it is a product which has proven itself both in the telecommunication

industry and within Siemens," says Peter Giese, business unit manager of Hicom Trading Systems.

And according to Thomas Abeln, head of the System Manager Development Group at Siemens Schweiz AG in Zurich, Switzerland, "We conducted intensive benchmarks before reaching a decision. We selected the Objectivity database."
