Following on from last month's announcement of Ultra Messaging SMX, Informatica has published a range of latency and throughput performance figures for the shared memory transport, covering a number of programming languages. Messaging latency as low as 39 nanoseconds was recorded, with overall latency more than 16 times lower than tests conducted on an earlier version of the transport, conducted in May 2010.

TIBCO Software Inc. (TIBX), a leader in the application integration and SOA infrastructure market, today announced the latest version of its flagship extreme low-latency messaging platform, TIBCO FTL® 3.1, which introduces the power of in-memory technology to bring new levels of reliability to persistent messaging. Drawing from over two decades of experience in providing communication and messaging solutions to the financial services industry, TIBCO FTL 3.1 provides a powerful messaging platform that delivers unmatched performance to any industry, where time is crucial to remaining competitive. In addition to the financial services industry, TIBCO FTL 3.1 can be leveraged by any industry facing ever-increasing data volumes, including logistics and transportation companies, government, power and utilities companies and the high-tech manufacturing industry, to name a few.

Informatica Corporation, the world’s number one independent provider of data integration software, today introduced Informatica Ultra Messaging SMX, the fastest and highest performing messaging software transport available based on performance benchmarking. Optimized for high speed electronic trading applications requiring the absolute lowest message latency and highest throughput, Ultra Messaging SMX delivers industry-leading sub-100 nanosecond latency with ultra-high throughput and scales linearly with message size and fan out.

Decision-making, event-processing and automation are creating increased demand for enterprise-wide real-time data distribution. TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ brings together IT assets and communications technologies on a common high-performance messaging backbone. It supports real-time decision-making by scaling horizontally across the organization to unlock data in diverse databases and applications and support fast, event-driven execution of business operations. The recently introduced TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ Appliance supplies even more performance and scalability along with a 100 percent guaranteed-delivery messaging platform without the need for any third-party software or storage components. Come see how the TIBCO Enterprise Message Service™ Appliance delivers greater performance, reliability and manageability while cutting costs in the process.

The drive to lower the latency of trade executions has forced matching venues to search for non-traditional solutions. The advent of the server in the switch technologies like TIBCO's FTL Messaging Switch has given execution facilities a brand new tool in this never-ending battle. This presentation focused on forward looking trading architectures that re-locate the matching engine, order gateways and even broker dealers inside the switch using shared memory for communication. Also covered were the implications of such a radical switch - not just for exchanges and their customers, but also regulators and even market structure.

For extreme low latency, code paths are highly critical, and optimizing them can have a massive impact on application stability and design. The TIBCO FTL® messaging platform draws on more than 20 years of industry-leading experience in mission-critical, high-performance messaging and takes full advantage of today’s technologies. With the recent addition of the TIBCO FTL® Message Switch, messaging middleware is combined with high-performance networking to boost speeds even more. The switch deploys your custom-built extreme low-latency messaging applications directly onto the networking path, removing additional network hops and further reducing end-to-end latency. In this session, we learnt how organizations are gaining performance and lowering latencies with greater reliability using TIBCO FTL, it's new Guaranteed Delivery services, and the TIBCO FTL Message Switch.

Mellanox Technologies, a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, announces that its industry and performance-leading InfiniBand solutions have been selected by NASDAQ OMX NLX ("NLX") to enable fast, reliable trading. NLX, the new London derivatives market, will offer a range of both short- and long-term interest rate (STIRs and LTIRs) euro- and sterling-based listed derivatives products, subject to Financial Services Authority approval. InfiniBand will act as the server interconnect for NLX’s matching engines.

The headline states the basics that you need to know about - London on Tuesday, February 19. The Low-Latency Summit has been running in London (OK, under some aliases) since 2010, evolving along the way with a focus this spring on 'convergence' - which means how low-latency, cloud and big data technologies are combining to underping automated trading. Here's some more about what you can learn about by attending ...

Intilop, a pioneer and a recognized leader in providing complex networking Mega-IP building blocks and full systems, today announced delivery of a true ultra-low latency NIC + System Platform powered by their new Ultra Low latency 5th Gen 10G Nano TOE/UOE, Ultra Low latency Media Access controller, Ultra-low latency PCIe/DMA and ultra-precise time-stamping capability.

Many global companies, especially in the front office of capital markets, have a strategic need to send real-time data from one location to another, often thousands of miles away, over a Wide Area Network (or WAN) connection.
