01 · Integration
Durable, in-flight, governed
Move messages between systems with guaranteed delivery, in-flight transformation, and content-based routing, without writing custom integration code for every counterparty, protocol, or feed.
3forge Enterprise
Live Data Fabric
A unified infrastructure where live market feeds, intraday events, and resting data from warehouses and legacy platforms converge: governed, queryable, and ready for real-time decision-making.
The data foundation
Seven concerns, one fabric
In financial institutions, data is never purely "real-time" or purely "historical". Risk, trading, compliance, and operations all depend on the continuous interaction between live market feeds, intraday events, and vast stores of resting data held in warehouses and legacy platforms. The 3forge real-time data fabric brings these together as a single, coherent layer, organized around the seven concerns that matter most: moving data reliably, storing it at scale, caching it for ultra-fast access, distributing it efficiently, governing access, analyzing in motion, and architecting for resiliency.

How much is 10 trillion rows?
The consolidated feed for equity trades and quotes on US markets, or SIP, has ~2.5 billion SIP messages per trading day. If 1 row is 1 consolidated SIP message (trades + quotes), 10 trillion rows would represent 4,000 trading days, or 16 years. Similarly, options market data is extremely dense at ~200 billion quote updates per day on OPRA during active markets. Even at that frantic pace, 10 trillion quote updates would be 2.5 months of option quotes traffic.
02 · Persistence
Columnar archiving built for finance
A petabyte-scale historical database with partitioned columnar storage, supporting trillions of rows, large column counts, heavy data types, and seamless ingestion from real-time tables.
03 · Cache
Real-time tables, sub-ms latency
A proprietary columnar database engineered for streaming and time-sensitive workloads: delta-based triggers, multi-threaded queries, advanced conflation, and an operational envelope built for the most demanding feeds.
04 · Access
3forge Gateway: one access point, enterprise scale
A single access point into scaled 3forge environments spanning multiple Center nodes. The 3forge Gateway exposes real-time and resting data to applications, agents, reports, and integrations, with unified access, caching, fan-out subscriptions, dynamic composition, and governed transport.
05 · Governance
Entitlements, audit, and AI-ready controls
Row- and column-level entitlements, OAuth 2.0, RBAC, and audit trails for every interaction, so AI agents, applications, and users access enterprise data under the same controls finance has always demanded.
06 · Process
Aggregation, CEP, and LivePivots™
Real-time aggregation across order, position, and market data; complex event processing through database-native triggers; and LivePivots™ for slicing millions of rows of live data into the views that drive decisions.
07 · Architect
Tiered, resilient, globally distributed
A tiered architecture, adapters, Relays, Centers, Web Balancer, designed for hot-hot and hot-warm redundancy, multi-region deployment, and the evolving demands of real-time financial systems.
