Usage: High performance connectivity alternative to RSC

A leading regional investment firm serves the diverse financial needs of individual investors and corporate and institutional clients throughout the U.S. and abroad. The firm provides full-service investment banking, securities brokerage, and wealth and asset management. A long time HP NonStop user with .NET application front end, this client has sought to re-architect their middleware environment in order to accommodate their business growth.

Challenges

Needed high performance connectivity to support the new state-of-the-art Windows desktop client interfacing to NonStop Servers
Existing client applications were developed using RSC(Remote Server Call) and Piccolo API
RSC was not scaling with growing volumes of transactions
RSC was not stable in the .NET application environment
RSC was causing records locked for unacceptable lengths of time

Solution

TIC Software recommended SOAP/AM Server to expose NonStop Pathway Servers as Web Services.
The adoption of Web Service has allowed:
- Seamless integration with .NET technology
- Migration path for replacing RSC procedures in existing applications
- Enabling SOA environment for entire enterprise

Results

SOAP/AM Server has reduced response times by 60%
SOAP/AM Server provided an extremely reliable and stable platform for new applications and migration of existing procedures
