Interested in content routing and event preprocessing supporting future CEP applications?  Check out Solace Systems.  You can click on the image below for a better picture of the Solace architecture for event processing.

Solace provides sophisticated middleware functionality in hardware to monitor, filter, route, transform and secure very large volumes of events in real time and with minimal processing overhead.  Solace uses leading-edge FPGA, ASIC and network processor technology to increase throughput and lower latency of event processing. Applications such as fraud detection, algorithmic trading, compliance, insider trade monitoring, risk management and more can be tackled more effectively by separating the simple monitoring, filtering and normalization of raw events from the complex processing of select events. This event pre-processing takes the burden off CEP engines allowing individual engines to be much more effective.
