Slingshot
<networking, business, tool, product, protocol> CSK Software's real time
financial server for the Internet.
Slingshot allows the delivery of real time market data across the Internet and
private intranets quickly, cheaply and securely. The first beta-test version was
released free to the Internet on 6 August 1996. Slingshot allows any financial
institution, regardless of size, to publish their rates and associated
information to a global audience using standard Internet protocols and software.
The real-time data can be seamlessly integrated into any standard World-Wide Web
application and thus combined with static text, database queries and even audio
and video objects, to create services.
The Slingshot protocol enables the delivery of other forms of real time data
over the Internet, thus making Slingshot useful in industries as varied as
manufacturing, betting, telemetry, weather, transport and medicine.
Version 2's improved protocol minimises the required bandwidth and can go
through firewalls, proxies, and virus scanners, making Slingshot real-time data
accessible everywhere where normal web access is possible.
