The Orion application's core components are: Extract Transform and Load (ETL) that receives data from core trading (prime record) applications and populates the database; the Orion Cache which loads the data into a distributed in-memory store (Oracle Coherence) and allows users to run ad-hoc aggregation requests through a C# WPF client.
