Sybase and CEP Vendors Partner to Deliver Faster, Better Trades -- Leading to Increased Profits on Wall Street

Aleri, Coral8 and StreamBase Are Now Sybase-Certified to Deliver
Low Latency and Access to Large Volumes of Historical Data in a Single
Platform
DUBLIN, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), the largest enterprise software and
services company exclusively focused on managing and mobilizing
information, today announced that three of the top complex event
processing (CEP) vendors have completed integration certification with
RAP - The Trading Edition(TM), Sybase's recently launched
next-generation market data analytics platform. Sybase and its CEP
partners Aleri, Coral8, and StreamBase can now deliver both ultra low
latency and support for massive historical market data in one
optimized and integrated market data analytics platform.

In today's rapidly moving financial services industry, capital
market firms face competitive pressure to build complex quantitative
trading strategies that will detect past and present patterns of
events in the financial markets, and then predict how they will impact
high-level business goals, policies and processes. CEP software is
used to create and deploy applications that process large volumes of
incoming messages or events, analyze those real-time messages or
events in various ways, and respond to conditions of interest in
microsecond timeframes.

According to TABB Group Senior Analyst Miranda Mizen in a newly
released report, Real-Time Risk: Managing Execution Risk in an
Increasingly Electronic World, "Many firms are beginning to leverage
Complex Event Processors (CEPs) to handle the incoming data... CEPs
play a crucial role as the information enablers. They take in data
from multiple sources and aggregate, normalize and consolidate data
with minimum latency."

"In the real-time, highly competitive environment of capital
markets, traditional custom-coded infrastructures are no longer able
to keep pace with the speed and volume of data," said Neil McGovern,
director of product marketing, Sybase. "In addition, as markets evolve
and situations change, they do not provide the flexibility needed to
stay competitive. RAP - The Trading Edition combined with CEP
technology delivers the real-time data analysis without latency that
today's market demands."

RAP - The Trading Edition is a powerful, flexible market analytics
platform for capital markets that enables better trading and portfolio
decisions with less risk through timelier, more comprehensive market
insight. When combined with leading CEP technologies, the solution
provides customers with both ultra-low latency and access to large
quantities of historical data in a single platform. This platform
benefits many constituents within a financial services organization.
For example, risk managers will benefit from real-time and intra-day
risk management capabilities while quantitative analysts can develop
and test using RAP - The Trading Edition as the data source and
simulate data flow for testing with RAP and CEP engines.
