The Market Information Machine (MIM)

MIM Data Warehouse / MIM Server 
Using the power and speed of the MIM Server, LIM delivers time series and real-time data for research, analysis and trading. The MIM Server together with the MIM Data Warehouse make up the Market Information Machine (MIM). 

Proprietary data can be added in the MIM either directly or through LIM's Data Warehouse. Data offerings come from the following sectors: energy, equities, futures, fixed income, foreign exchange, economic indicators as well as date files/events and weather data.

The MIM collects data at rates exceeding thousands of ticks per second. In addition, the MIM has enough throughput to globally serve up data to thousands of workstations simultaneously. LIM uses Solaris SPARC machines to serve multiple concurrent readers both historical and real-time tick stores. The MIM supports daily, intra-day (minutes), and tick (seconds and FIFO ordering) and has real-time interfaces to TIBCO and Reuters Triarch systems.

The MIM is an excellent solution for data management and administration, as it has a patented near-English MIM query language which eliminates the need to create custom programs.

Historis®

The Historis database is your TOTAL solution for time-series data. Historis will help you to better schedule maintenance and catch problems before they result in costly downtime. Using advanced compression algorithms, Historis significantly reduces the required disk space to store your metrics. Data compression is more efficient than any other commercially available relational database. This can add up to millions of dollars in savings when dealing with multi-terabyte databases.

The speed of data retrieval  is lightning quick. This is important so that you avoid any latency in getting your metrics into alarms or alerts, and on viewing monitors. When relational databases are overwhelmed and become clogged with data, Historis keeps publishing, never missing a single tag. It does not matter what size the data is, or how fast it is being generated. Historis can handle it.

To learn more about how Historis can save your company money, please contact: historis@lim.com and request:  "A Case Study of the Historis Database Server".
