Voltaire Ltd., a provider of scale-out data center fabrics, introduces a new low latency 10 Gigabit Ethernet-based messaging application in collaboration with NYSE Technologies.
This combination dramatically accelerates the performance of automated trading and market data applications achieving average latencies of 25 microseconds at rates of 1 million 200 byte messages per second per core.
Voltaire and NYSE Technologies have worked closely for the past three years to deliver low latency messaging solutions based on InfiniBand to financial services customers. The two companies recently introduced a solution based on Voltaires 40 Gb/s InfiniBand switches and software that delivers record-breaking performance of less than 10 microsecond latency at greater than 1 million messages per second.
While the InfiniBand-based solution is best suited for customers who need the lowest latency possible, the new solution announced today based on 10 Gigabit Ethernet provides the best performance available on Ethernet-based fabrics and gives customers that prefer to standardize their data center networks on Ethernet, a competitive option.
The solution tested by NYSE Technologies and Voltaire delivers fast performance for an Ethernet-based market data delivery solution of 25 microseconds latency at rates of 1 million 200 byte messages per second per core. The solution consists of NYSE Technologies Data Fabric high performance middleware and Voltaire Messaging Service (VMS) software technology which lowers latency and increases transactions per second for market data applications. The solution is compatible with Voltaire Vantage 8500 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches which are expected to be available later this year.
By combining NYSE Technologies Data Fabric technology and Voltaires VMS message acceleration software for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, were delivering the highest performance messaging solution based on Ethernet for automated trading infrastructures. In addition to ultra-low latency, the solution scales easily and has low power consumption to meet the price-performance and energy efficiency requirements of next generation trading infrastructures. Were pleased to extend the work weve done with Voltaire on InfiniBand to 10 Gigabit Ethernet, says Conor Allen, head of R&D at NYSE Technologies.
NYSE Technologies and Voltaire can now offer customers the lowest latency market data delivery solutions on both InfiniBand and 10 Gigabit Ethernet, says Asaf Somekh, vice president of marketing, Voltaire. Moreover, the solution is based on industry-standard technologies so customers can build state-of-the-art, high-frequency trading systems without needing to buy expensive, custom hardware.
