Description:
==========
RV and EMS are two completely different products with completely different architectures. RV uses TIBCO’s own TRDP protocol, whereas EMS relies on TCP and it adheres to the Sun’s JMS specification. EMS and RV use different formats for messages and their data.

Comparing the performance of these two products is difficult as EMS uses a client-server architecture whereas RV uses a distributed architecture.

Performance can vary depending on numerous factors. Some of these performance-influencing factors include:

*    Hardware
*    Operating system
*    Network card (influences network access)
*    Network bandwidth (influences throughput and indirectly transmission delays)
*    Current network usage
*    Disk type (e.g., standard hard disk vs. RAID) and disk speed (influences persistent storage operations of middleware)
*    Database (MS SQL Server vs. Oracle vs. DB2)
*    Database drivers (e.g., ODBC drivers can influence database access as much as 33 percent)
*    Other hardware technologies and modules (e.g., firewalls, routers)
*    Other software modules (e.g., security, business applications, business object definition)
*    Use of software (e.g., use of publish/subscribe vs. request/reply vs. queuing)

With so many factors it becomes difficult to predict or make exact statements about performance of different products in different environments. We do not publish any performance numbers orbenchmarks.
