Optimize GPU Clusters for Fast, Accurate Financial Services AI

Demanding accuracy and speed, financial firms are in a race to leverage the powerful insights of artificial intelligence (AI) for quicker decision-making capabilities in order to gain a strategic competitive edge.

Let's Talk

Required Predictability

In equity and commodity trading, value can be measured in the nanoseconds that traders have little control over. Thus, traders are concerned with the predictability of the exchanges with which they interact.

Latency and Jitter

Traders place orders before their industry counterparts, however, those orders can execute later than anticipated. Focus has rightfully shifted from network latency reduction to jitter variations and fluctuations.

Need For Determinism

Determinism is key to building trust between exchanges and traders. Brokers seek exchange relationships that not only provide fast execution, but also consistency and predictability of trade execution timing.

In Pursuit of Uptime

Enabling Continuous Financial Operations with Simple, Protected Fault-Tolerant Computing

Customers of retail banking, corporate banking, and capital markets expect immediate, uninterrupted access whether on site, online, or through a mobile app. Delivering a smooth, consistent, and valued experience anywhere, anytime can be data and infrastructure intensive.

However, financial services companies can reliably meet these expectations and deliver this experience by placing greater computing capability at the perimeter—or the edge—of their networks, complementing the high availability computing platforms within their data centers.

From trading applications that require processing in nanoseconds to credit and debit card authorizations that require transaction processing in real time, any interruption in service could be the difference between you, your competition, and your bottom line.

Our zero-touch computing platforms run critical applications with built-in fault tolerance, ensuring up to 99.99999% platform uptime. Featuring application virtualization, they consolidate key workloads onto a single compute platform, reducing the need for multiple servers and simplifying operations without adding risk.

Customer Success

New Exchange Designed for Determinism With Streamlined Execution and Order Handling

Members Exchange (MEMX) is engineered to maximize determinism, minimize latency and jitter, and consistently provide a predictable platform to execute trades at the best price possible.

The company’s IT architects were able to analyze afresh how exchanges and the trading markets work. They looked at data flow and location, traffic patterns and densities, and processes, and then leveraged the best and most advanced technologies available.

They identified and addressed challenges to efficiency and data availability through innovations from leading technology companies, such as Intel and Penguin Solutions, taking advantage of modern capabilities, such as secure cloud infrastructure. Thus, they created a highly predictable trading platform that is also scalable and flexible.

“The entire system is optimized and balanced for speed and stability across the entire architecture—from quoting to the matching engine to executing trades and eliminating latency when moving data across the platform and to the cloud.”

- Jonathan Kellner, CEO

“We needed to work with someone who could not only build a highly custom platform but would be a true technology partner that would help us with the many engineering and logistics challenges that we faced along the way.”
