As event-driven architecture and complex event processing become prominent features of the enterprise computing landscape, more and more enterprises have begun to build mission-critical applications using CEP technology. Oracle Complex Event Processing (Oracle CEP) provides a modular platform for building applications based on this very architecture.

The benchmark study described in this whitepaper demonstrates Oracle CEP’s ability to provide both very high throughput and low latency on a single Exalogic compute node with a use case that is very typical of financial front office applications in capital markets.
