Solace, Solarflare and Arista Demonstrate Market Data Distribution with Low, Consistent Latency

The drive towards low latency trading systems, and market data delivery in particular, means IT professionals on Wall Street are constantly on the lookout for innovative new techniques and technologies. The picture goes well beyond just raw speed, however, as market participants understand that consistency and predictability are just as important. With more trading decisions and order execution processes being automated, it is critical to make sure information flows quickly and consistently through the front, mid and back office.

One of the biggest shifts companies are embracing to ensure this consistently low latency is the move to purpose-built hardware. Instead of terminating Ethernet connections in software, they’re using network interface cards (NICs) that have been purpose-built for performance, and they are discovering that middleware appliances can distribute data with greater performance and
predictability than software-based solutions. The fact that hardware-based solutions also reduce complexity and TCO is icing on the cake.

This paper describes how a system based on technology from Solace Systems, Solarflare Communications and Arista Networks can deliver low, consistent latency. To learn more, register to download this paper now.
