Welcome to RTI Data Distribution Service

RTI Product Tour

Welcome to RTI Data Distribution Service, the leading implementation of the Object Management Group (OMG) Data Distribution Service for Real-Time Systems (DDS) standard. RTI's DDS middleware is built around open standards. It is the highest-performing DDS implementation. Hundreds of unique designs leverage it for mission-critical applications in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, defense, financial services, industrial automation, intelligence, medical devices, and transportation. These users, like you, need a reliable way to build complex distributed system software. By using a proven implementation of an international standard, they lower the risk, and cost, of building these systems.

The following are just a few of our customers' success stories:

  • RTI powers the Total Ship Computing Environment Infrastructure (TSCE-I) for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt Class Destroyer, built by Raytheon. Learn more about this and other Aerospace and Defense Solutions…
  • Grand Coulee Dam, the largest electrical energy producer in the United States, selected RTI for a SCADA system upgrade that will enable more reliable and efficient hydroelectric power generation. Learn more about how RTI is enabling the Smart Grid…
  • Automated Trading Desk, LLC (ATD) uses RTI middleware as the foundation of its market-data distribution infrastructure. ATD is updating its market-data infrastructure to more cost-effectively cope with data volumes that are currently growing 50 percent annually. Learn more about how RTI's low-latency peer-to-peer solution can energize your business…

This tour of RTI Data Distribution Service is written for you if you're not yet a user but are interested in exceeding your requirements at lower cost and with lower risk. It's also written for you if you're already using RTI Data Distribution Service but want to learn how to derive the maximum benefit from your investment. We will demonstrate how the components of RTI Data Distribution Service work together to make distributed systems fast, reliable, and maintainable.

Benefits

RTI technology and expertise provide the most efficient way to build your system, the most flexible and scalable way to "future proof" your design, and the only way to ensure you meet your performance and communications needs. Specifically, RTI Data Distribution Service provides key benefits that other products do not:

  • Robust product, proven in hundreds of mission-critical applications
  • Decoupled architecture, greatly easing the development and maintenance of complex systems
  • Industry-leading performance, scalability, and determinism
  • Standards-based implementation from the ground up
  • Ease of use, supported by extensive documentation and examples, onsite and offsite training, and first-rate technical support

The result is vastly reduced risk.

Products and Components

RTI Data Distribution Service is available in several editions, each tailored to a particular set of needs:

  • RTI Data Distribution Service, Basic Edition includes the core middleware libraries and a set of basic utilities for generating code, testing your connectivity, and examining network packets. If you need the highest-performing data distribution system in the world—but you don't need to record, route, or analyze that data—this is the edition for you.
  • RTI Data Distribution Service, Professional Edition is our most popular edition. It features the powerful RTI data distribution system from the Basic Edition. In addition, it delivers a rich set of functionality out of the box:
    • RTI Routing Service to bridge networks, topics, and security domains with integrated administration and data transformation. RTI Routing Service dramatically eases the scaling and integration of real-time systems across Wide Area Networks (WANs) and Systems of Systems (SoS). It allows applications to communicate seamlessly, even if they are deployed in different locations or support different external interfaces. It can be deployed without any changes to existing applications.
    • RTI Recorder for non-intrusive recording of high-rate data, messages and events. It can reliably record large amounts of real-time data from a heterogeneous, networked system without having prior knowledge of the data types or topics in the system. Activity recorded by RTI Recorder can be used for such purposes as analysis, debugging, and regulatory compliance.
    • RTI Spreadsheet Add-in for Microsoft Excel provides turnkey, bi-directional integration with Microsoft Excel. It allows cells, formulas and charts to include subscriptions to real-time data streams, such as market data and sensor data, with values updated automatically and in real-time. Formula results can also be published in real-time to other applications and spreadsheets.
    • And others.
  • RTI Data Distribution Service, Elite Edition provides all of the above, including source code, on every platform RTI supports. For the largest systems and the most complex needs, the Elite Edition provides a one-stop solution.
