BOX for SWIFTNet
Highlights

Availability and Performance

Cluster Solutions
As BOX is used by customers for financial message transfer it is normally seen as a mission critical application requiring a guaranteed availability of at least 99.9 percent. In order to meet this requirement BOX supports all major high availability architectures such as IBM’s Parallel Sysplex technology and High Availability Cluster Multi-Processing (HACMP), SUN Solaris Cluster, Microsoft Cluster Server or Windows Server Failover Clustering.

Mulit Instance Architecture
To further enhance the high availability capabilities of BOX Intercope has developed a “Multi Instance Architecture”. With this architecture it is possible to run several instances of BOX simultaneously using the same database. In a clustered architecture environment this allows BOX to run in an active-active configuration in two or more nodes.

60 transactions per second…
BOX for SWIFTNet (BOX) has been architected and optimized to handle the extremely high message volumes encountered in SWIFT systems. Using actual customer queue definitions and workflows benchmarks have shown a transaction rate of up to 60 transactions per second under Linux for System z.

… and more
With the “Multi-Instance Architecture” version of BOX  several instances of BOX can run simultaneously using the same database. These instances can be distributed across a number of computer systems. With this new architecture even higher transaction rates than those measured to date are expected to be achievable.
