RTI Connext Messaging

Universal messaging software backbone for both OT and IT applications

Connext Messaging provides a versatile and highly scalable messaging middleware for developing applications leveraging a variety of embedded and enterprise design patterns. Connext Messaging flexibility reduces development, integration and testing costs and enables rapid implementation of new system requirements. Features include:

  • Communication patterns for publish/subscribe, request-reply, command/response or a hybrid of patterns for unique customization
  • Support for Persistence Service for late joiners and Recording Service for logging data for deep analysis and archiving
  • APIs for JMS and Connext DDS
  • Federation Service securely bridges applications and systems across both local and wide area networks
  • Tools to monitor, analyse and debug your complete system
  • Seamless interoperability with Connext Micro and Connext DDS

With its rich set of tools and its performance and scalability extensions, Connext Messaging provides much more than a traditional messaging system. It offers capabilities to visualise your data as it moves through your system—even in real-time—allowing you to monitor, analyse and debug your complete system in operation. It provides facilities for persisting data for late joiners, and logging data for deeper analysis and archiving. It features adapters for DDS and JMS, and superior performance and scalability. Finally, Connext Messaging enables a number of embedded and enterprise design patterns, such as publish-subscribe, request-reply and guaranteed delivery, providing systems integrators the versatility required to address their organiza­tion’s unique data management scenarios.

The entire Connext family of products is based on RTI’s ultra high-performance Databus™ that delivers throughput up to millions of messages per second. It can deliver in excess of 50x the performance of non-real-time standards such as JMS, AMQP and Web Services. Additionally, it consistently provides low latency on the order of microseconds.
