Widely Applicable
Available for embedded, mobile, web, enterprise and cloud applications

Determinism
Superior determinism compared with other DDS implementations

Why ADLINK?

Open source offering
An open source version of Vortex DDS is available, so there is no need to be afraid of any form of license infringements imposed by for instance ITAR restrictions.
Users can contribute to and influence the Vortex DDS roadmap to ensure the features they need are developed first

Scalability and determinism
The architecture of Vortex DDS is very different compared to other DDS implementations, resulting in superior scalability and determinism

Fault-tolerance
Vortex DDS is the only DDS implementation that provides full support for maintaining so-called historical data that is essential for building fault-tolerant systems

ADLINK is a one-stop shop to get a fully integrated and qualified Hardware and software solution

Obtain IoT solution capabilities through integration into ADLINK’s partner ecosystem, for instance;

Data Store Connect (connect to existing historian)
Device management (deploy and manage remotely)
Cloud connect (centralized monitoring)
Analytics integration (preventive maintenance)
Access to new capabilities that are being developed right now
