Tyco Fire & Security provides world-class security and access-control systems to
customers in more than 100 countries, helping to protect 300 airports, 80 of the
world's top 100 retailers and more than 5 million other facilities. As Tyco's Software
House® brand, which offers security-critical control solutions, prepared to
release its new C•CURE® 9000 security and event management application,
its developers needed a better way to manage the real-time concurrency and coordination
challenges inherent in a system that at times handles hundreds or more notifications
per second. When Software House developers heard about Microsoft® Robotics Studio's
Concurrency and Coordination Runtime (CCR) library, they inserted the code into
their solution. CCR worked seamlessly, and the developers found immediate benefits,
including 100 percent faster thread processing and linear scalability.
