FalconStor, Voltaire Boost Xasax’s Ultra Low Latency Financial Network with iSCSI over InfiniBand
Xasax Corporation has chosen technology from FalconStor Software, provider of disk-based data protection solutions, to enable it to offer ultra low latency financial market data to active trader and financial services organisations. The FalconStor Network Storage Server (NSS), powered by the FalconStor IPStor platform, provides storage virtualisation and provisioning services, via industry standard iSCSI protocol, over a 20 Gb/s InfiniBand storage area network, supplied by Voltaire. Xasax, whose clients include active traders, hedge funds, and other financial services organisations, provides market data, order routing, entitlement solutions and proximity hosting services. The blended FalconStor, Xasax and Voltaire technologies give traders access to high-speed order execution; large, high-performance data stores; and trade management capabilities that were previously unavailable to the middle market, the vendors claim.
