LIM, a wholly owned subsidiary of Morningstar, has launched LIM Evolution, a new data warehouse that allows clients real-time access to data feeds from vendors, exchanges, and proprietary sources.
Designed to reside alongside a client’s existing Market Information Machine (MIM) server, which provides comprehensive energy and financial historical data, LIM Evolution pulls data directly from originating sources with near real-time delivery, the company said.
According to LIM, the new Evolution platform benefits include, improved ability to deliver and store data in both relational and time-series formats; capability to connect to any type of client database such as Oracle, MySQL; and continued access to LIM’s high standards for data accuracy and completeness, with quality assurance tests.
In addition, the new offerings uses LIM’s Data Monitoring tool to provide details such as load status and download times of a client’s real-time feeds on-site, or remotely by LIM’s operations team.
Kishore Gangwani, president of LIM, said: “We’ve spent several months designing this new data warehouse. LIM Evolution sets the new industry standard for combining real-time data delivery with data that has undergone rigorous quality checks. Our clients can benefit from this offering that delivers both streams of data.”
