Diffusion Message Broker Features

The Diffusion Message Broker is a highly efficient and low latency messaging server. Its primary purpose is the transport of data between two machines within your own network or ‘extranet’.

Diffusion Message Broker

It can either be deployed as a stand-alone (i.e. pushing data between two applications) or in conjunction with either the Diffusion Internet Message Broker and/or the Ajax Web Engine to achieve a highly scalable architecture.

Key Features

Exceptionally high performance - up to a 100,000 messages per second can be processed by a single broker on a fairly small server.
End point agnostic - meaning both the client and subscriber can be written in any programming language (that can open a socket).
Hierarchical topics - ensuring only the finest grain deltas/changes are sent.

Usages

Common usages for Diffusion Message Broker are:

Internal applications which have high message/data throughput and/or low latency requirement (i.e. pricing engines).
Scaling existing Diffusion implementations, distribute data from internal applications to either the Diffusion Internet Message Broker or the Diffusion Ajax Engine.
Aggregate and collaborate data from multiple sources (internal and external)
Facilitate ‘web point of presences’ - i.e. efficient distribution of data, internally, to ‘net’ facing Diffusion servers (Diffusion Internet Message Broker or Diffusion Ajax Engine) located in more than one geographic location (i.e. Americas, Europe and Asia).

Diffusion Message Broker

Why?

Low/No latency - Diffusion adds little latency to your messages. Also its hierarchical topic structure ensures that you send only the finest grain of data actually required.
Reduce your internal network traffic and hardware consumption.
Simplification of architecture
Simplification of architecture - a single message platform for all channels, no need to buy additional software or hardware as you add new distribution channels/markets.

Versions

There are two versions of the Diffusion Message Broker available, Enterprise and Standard. The core difference between the two is the amount of data each is able to process.

Full Features List

Feature	Brief Description
Best Message Delivery (BMD)	Diffusion modifies its behaviour for each end user to give them the best experience based on the technology environment they are connecting via.
Bi-Directional	Messages, data and events can be sent both to and from client applications/devices.
Cascading Transport Layer (CTL)	Ensure that client devices/applications connect using the best possible transport layer.
Client Connectivity (Roundtrip Monitor)	Built in connectivity tool to measure the strength of an end users network connection/roundtrip.
Client Driven Events	Client devices/applications can fire events as well as listen for them.
Compression	Diffusion compresses your messages to the smallest possible size.
Conflation	Ensures only the latest update is sent if more than one delta, for a given entity, are waiting to be published.
Hierarchical Topics	You are able to model your message topics in a hierarchical structure.
High & Low Water Marks	Allow you to monitor and warn yourself of your connected clients’ performance.
High Performance & Scalability	Diffusion has very high scalability and performance (can lead to up to 80% reduction in hardware requirements).
Multiple Queue Types	Different client queue types are available to allow you to configure Diffusion to your exact needs.
Multiple Message Types	There are several message types which enable you to programme/configure your implementation to your exact needs.
Secure	Built in security and encryption.
Simple & Flexible API	API does not force you to follow any given framework or any given message structure/format.
Technology Agnostic	The Diffusion server can run on any device/application with Java installed and the client on any machine that can open a socket or generate a http request.
Zero Copy	Diffusion doesn’t copy your data.
Zero Fan Out Time	There is zero time between the first and last connected client being sent a given message.
Zero Latency	Diffusion adds little to no latency to your messages/events.
