When it comes to latency in financial trading, the name of the game is how low can you go. According to an industry analyst, a millisecond of latency in trading can translate into $100 million of lost revenue for a major brokerage firm.
In a quest to quash latency while at the same time providing flexibility and agility, TIBCO has banded together with Dell, Arista Networks and Mellanox Technologies to deliver a complete Extreme-Low-Latency Messaging solution based on TIBCO FTL.
This solution, which was announced earlier today, is made up of the following:
- TIBCO FTL
- Arista 7100 switches
- Dell PowerEdge C6100 servers
- Mellanox ConnectX-2 EN 10GigE NICs with RDMA over Converged Ethernet
This end-to-end solution enables financial trading market customers to rapidly turn millions of messages per second into actionable information on the trading room floor. Faster access to information means faster time to analysis and faster time to profitability. And in today’s global financial markets, speed is king.
