STAC-M2 Central

STAC-M2 is for testing solutions such as messaging middleware under market data distribution workloads. Such solutions take a number of normalized market data sources (such as feed handlers or internal publishing applications) and distribute the data to multiple applications under various scenarios.

For an overview of the STAC-M2 specs and Test Harness, click here.

The standard STAC-M2 Test Harness software is available to premium STAC Benchmark Council members. For an additional fee, the STAC-M2 Advanced Test Harness is also available, providing features not in the standard harness, such as burst mode and lights-out automation.*

(To understand how STAC-M2 workloads contrast with other workloads, please see "Current workload categorization".)

* The STAC-M2 Advanced Test Harness can be used in combination with the STAC-M2 Pack for RFA as a customizable, overnight regression testing system for Thomson Reuters Enterprise Platform for Real Time (aka RMDS). Click here for more info.
