CogICE Storage Management Builds upon Glacier with inbuilt Indexing & cataloging

Clients across all verticals have data storage requirements which span across years of data which are archived for regulatory as well as analytics purposes. Some of this data may be only required once in a year or sometimes after couple of years for forensics purposes. However, cost of maintaining such large dataset is considerably high with multiple backups and disaster recovery solutions requirements.

Cognosys brings ultra-cheap low cost data storage solution, CogIce Storage Array to clients with enterprise grade capabilities like full text indexing, data cataloguing, one-click data restore and backup, policy based data expiration and auto archival from online storage media to offline media storage etc.

CogIce Storage Array facilitates fast data retrieval resulting in huge savings where cost of locating the correct data segment in petabytes of data adds much to the storage costs by providing advanced search and cataloguing features, giving the users advanced data visibility for data retrieval.

Storage archiving requirements being adhoc in nature results in heavily fragmented, under-utilized and over priced storage procurement by organizations. CogIce Storage based on Amazon’s Glacier offering takes archiving management to the next level by not only providing users with a Pay As You Go Model but providing granular control to the user with nearly unlimited scaling.

Data modelling based on metadata factoring and indexing gives analytic, insight into vast data stores where any particular data segment can be pinpointed from petabytes in matter of few clicks using minimalistic data retrieval algorithms.

CogSOA- High Performance SOA Library

Today SOA has become an intricate part of any application development. With the need of time, every application today needs to communicate with various other services to enhance the Software with maximum features.

Though Service Providers are available, they can be in various different languages or platforms. So to make this communication possible SOA comes into the picture. But with the need to enhance the feature, Speed and Performance gets hampered.

Today many are victims of this problem. And if you are facing the same demon, then you are at the right place with the Perfect Solution. CogSOA is here to replace this Inverse Ratio of SOA to Performance with a Direct Ratio.

CogSOA is all there to provide Interoperability among different systems and

programming languages with Performance and Speed like a local communication.

It follows Rules of reuse, granularity, modularity, composability, componentization and interoperability.

It maintains standards-compliance (both common and industry-specific).And also services identification and categorization, provisioning and delivery, and monitoring and tracking.

CogCache-A High Performance Distributed Caching Library

CogCache, a High Performance Caching Library is a distributed Object Oriented Framework which can be embedded in any Windows or Web based application and comes with a rich set of APIs to eliminate “chatter” web services.

Performance Optimization feature of CogCache helps in reducing unnecessary roundtrips between Application Layer and Database.

CogCache is generic in nature, it can be easily plugged in any database based architecture. It is intended to speed up the applications by alleviating unnecessary database load by providing a caching layer where any kind of object can be stored and retrieved without a single point of failure or loss of cache. Offering API to automatically serialize data objects allows clients to just push managed objects without bothering about conversion in any particular data format.

CogCache operates a distributed cache layer which uses extensive memory mapping to provide a low latency turnaround. It achieves high scalability with modern load balanced servers available in multiple physically isolated domains providing tremendous performance enhancement.

CogCache provides a highly optimized cache layer which replaces the expensive(w.r.t Speed and Server Load) connection to various Databases by reducing latency of response resulting into overall high performance of the web request calls. With a centralized cache system for the entire application despite each application layer on different web server, the amount of logically usable cache memory is much more as compared to the individual cache allotted per server. Cache solutions like memcache which uses distributed structure looses to cogcache owing to a part of memcache being recycled when the particular web server recycles, this leads to database being again until the cache is refilled again. In a cloud environment where recycling can happen any time, multiple recycle of different web servers might result in multiple requests to database server just to refill the cache which has already been requested earlier without any underlying data change.

CogCahe thus offers a much more optimized and practical answer to such distributed architecture where none of cache partitions are lost and replicated multiple times to allow for a lower latency call and thus allowing a much faster turn around time of web requests. CogCache is fast, simple and with minimal dependencies providing efficient caching to avoid heavy work lifting at data layer and thus optimizing Speed and Performance of the application lowering TCO for enterprise application at hand.

But no Trade System is accomplished without Trade API and for this one needs connection to the desired Exchange. Connection to the Exchange involves cross-platform communication.

Brokers provide Interfaces to connect to their Softwares, but APIs for these come with a complex usage due to poor pluggable architecture. The part of adopting these APIs into your tool gets so tedious that the basic reason to include API into your system gets long lost and you end up spending long hours fitting it in.
