## Introduction

The SMA information eXchange (SMA-X) is a high performance and versatile data sharing platform for distributed
software systems. It is built around a central Redis database, and provides atomic access to structured data,
including specific branches and/or leaf nodes, with associated metadadata. SMA-X was developed at the Submillimeter
Array (SMA) observatory, where we use it to share real-time data among hundreds of computers and nearly a thousand
individual programs.
