Apache Kafka	Tibco EMS
Apache Kafka can manage many I/Os (writes) with only three or four low-cost servers. It grows quite effectively over big workloads and can handle large-scale deployments. The same Kafka configuration may be used as a message bus, storage system, or log aggregator, making it simple to manage as a single system feeding many applications.	Tibco EMS runs well and fulfills our strict corporate communications backbone performance criteria. Tibco EMS scales well, which is another one of our strict criteria. Tibco offers excellent support for the EMS product and always works to enhance it. This is significant since we do not want to employ anything that does not keep up with technological developments.
