Sybase CEP Server executes continuous CCL queries to process incoming data streams.
Sybase CEP Server is designed to process hundreds of thousands of messages per second, with latency measured in milliseconds. Sybase CEP Server may run on a single processor, or may consist of multiple Servers (a Server Cluster) distributed across multiple machines, each containing one or more processors.
Sybase CEP Servers can be configured to perform distributed query processing on one or more processors, parallel query processing (clustering) and automatic failover (High Availability). These advanced concepts are discussed in later chapters in this manual and in the Sybase CEP Installation Guide.
