Financial trading firms, fintech teams, and real-time system developers requiring ultra-low-latency messaging and fault-tolerant distributed infrastructure
About Aeron
Aeron is a high-performance, open source messaging and clustering technology designed to power ultra-low-latency, fault-tolerant distributed systems, particularly in electronic trading and real-time data environments. It focuses on delivering predictable microsecond-level latency and extremely high throughput, enabling applications to process millions of messages per second while maintaining strong reliability. The Aeron suite includes Aeron Transport for high-performance unicast, multicast, and IPC messaging, Aeron Archive for ultra-fast message recording and replay with zero message loss, and Aeron Cluster for fault-tolerant distributed state replication using replicated log architecture. Its brokerless design reduces hardware overhead and operational costs while allowing systems to run on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid deployments. Aeron supports multiple programming languages, including Java, C/C++, and .NET.

Rocket iCluster
Rocket iCluster high availability/disaster recovery (HA/DR) solutions ensure uninterrupted operation for your IBM i applications, providing continuous access by monitoring, identifying, and self-correcting replication problems. iCluster’s multiple-cluster administration console monitors events in real-time on the classic green screen and the modern web UI. Rocket iCluster reduces downtime related to unexpected IBM i system interruptions with real-time, fault-tolerant, object-level replication. In the event of an outage, you can bring a “warm” mirror of a clustered IBM i system into service within minutes. iCluster disaster recovery software ensures a high-availability environment by giving business applications concurrent access to both master and replicated data. This setup allows you to offload critical business tasks such as running reports and queries as well as ETL, EDI, and web tasks from your secondary system without affecting primary system performance.

DBOS
A simpler, more secure way to build fault-tolerant cloud applications, powered by the revolutionary cloud-native DBOS operating system. Based on 3 years of joint MIT-Stanford open source R&D, DBOS revolutionizes cloud-native architecture. DBOS is a cloud-native OS that builds on a relational database to radically simplify today's complex cloud application stacks. DBOS powers DBOS Cloud, a transactional serverless platform that provides fault-tolerance, observability, cyber-resilience, and easy cloud deployment to stateful TypeScript applications. OS services are implemented on top of a distributed DBMS. Built-in transactional, fault-tolerant state management that simplifies the stack, with no need for containers, cluster management, or workflow orchestration. Seamless scaling, high performance, and high availability. Metrics, logs, and traces are stored in SQL-accessible tables. Smaller cyber attack surface, cyberattack self-detection, and cyber-resilience.

Dqlite
Dqlite is a fast, embedded, persistent SQL database with Raft consensus that is perfect for fault-tolerant IoT and Edge devices. Dqlite (“distributed SQLite”) extends SQLite across a cluster of machines, with automatic failover and high-availability to keep your application running. It uses C-Raft, an optimised Raft implementation in C, to gain high-performance transactional consensus and fault tolerance while preserving SQlite’s outstanding efficiency and tiny footprint. C-Raft is tuned to minimize transaction latency. C-Raft and dqlite are both written in C for maximum cross-platform portability. Published under the LGPLv3 license with a static linking exception for maximum compatibility. Includes common CLI pattern for database initialization and voting member joins and departures. Minimal, tunable delay for failover with automatic leader election. Disk-backed database with in-memory options and SQLite transactions.
