# 2. Introduction

One of the key differentiators of Vortex OpenSplice is that it provides a user with the ability to choose exactly how to deploy Data Distribution Service (DDS) applications, i.e. there are different DDS system architecture deployment modes and also different networking service protocols. This allows a user to maximize both intra-nodal and inter-nodal performance based on requirements specific to their own use case. When evaluating Vortex OpenSplice it is very important to understand all of these features and benefits to ensure that the most appropriate combination is evaluated against your specific performance criteria. Once the performance figures have been observed the choice is usually clear.

Every customer use case and set of requirements is different, so let us briefly guide you through how to best deploy Vortex OpenSplice so that it meets and exceeds your expectations. Here we explain how easy it is to get started with Vortex OpenSplice and observe the excellent performance and scalability it provides. Vortex OpenSplice is even shipped with dedicated performance tests that the user can build and run easily.

Note that this Guide serves only as an introduction and does not replace the full Vortex OpenSplice reference and user guides.
