 TMCnet Contributing Editor
Voltaire is working with Reuters, HP, and Intel ( News - Alert) to provide a high performance, lowest latency solution for advanced trading.
According to independent testing by the Securities Technology Analysis Center (STAC), the tuned configuration reduces the overall system latency by 48% and provides a 50% increase in messages per second at 1 millisecond.
Businesses can use the solution to deploy a trading infrastructure that is optimized for high throughput, ultra low latency and high efficiency. Financial services firms can also benefit from improved power and cooling and smaller space requirements by utilizing blade servers.
“Reducing transaction latency may be the most important race in the financial markets today,” said Patrick Guay, senior vice president, Marketing, Voltaire in a statement to the press.
Guay is pleased to deliver a joint solution that will help capital markets firms reduce end-to-end trade latency as well as gain linear scalability to address the increase in market data and trading volumes they are seeing today.
According to Mike Parlapiano, executive vice president, Global Head of Information Management Solutions, Reuters, the combination of the Reuters Market Data System, Voltaire InfiniBand solutions and HP platforms solves many of the latency problems their customers face with growing market data and trading volumes.
Parlapiano believes Algo trading firms that use this combination can make more trades in less time, directly improving their organization's revenue.
Paul Miller, vice president of marketing for Industry Standard Servers and BladeSystem, HP points out that customers today require highly performing, highly reliable server platforms without compromises.
Since HP ProLiant and BladeSystem c-Class servers provide performance, scalability and reliability without impacting latency, they are ideal platforms for algo trading institutions that rely on speed to maintain a competitive advantage.
“Driven by the tremendous performance per watt capabilities of Intel Xeon dual and quad-core processors, this solution will help firms efficiently manage today's enormous volume of transaction data,” concludes Jason Waxman, general manager, High Density Servers, Intel.
