The Free Electron Laser in Hamburg (FLASH) at DESY is a user facility. It produces laser light of short wavelengths from the extreme ultraviolet down to soft X-rays. To study, monitor and document the machine performance and parameters and also to collect the results of the experiment measurements a fast data acquisition (DAQ) system has been developed. A shared memory based buffer manager is the heart of the system. It arranges collected data as events for every linac short. All events can be read by different consumers simultaneously. Linac feedback and monitoring processes as well as experiment middle layer servers are typical clients of the buffer manager. Any client can also generate its own data and insert it into the same event or produce its own one. The paper will focus on the detailed implementation of the buffer manager and its main features. The experience and the achieved performance will be covered as well.

At XFEL it is planned to install most electronic components and computers for LLRF, diagnostics and controls inside the tunnel. Access to these devices during the XFEL operation will not be possible. Remote control and monitoring of all relevant parameters of the shelfs/crates and the computers must be ensured and should be done in a standardised way. In addition software downloads and debugging up to the FPGA level should be provided, even if an operating system crashes e.g. due to radiation, maintenance functionality must be available. An introduction to xTCA will be given, the reasons to change the crate standard from a VME to a xTCA based system and the experience with this new electronics standard will be described.
