Tested by Tibco, the optimized configuration consists of Tibco Rendezvous 8.0 software over Voltaire’s Grid Director InfiniBand-based switches and software. Voltaire switches provide 10 or 20 Gigabits/second InfiniBand bandwidth and data acceleration software that takes advantage of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology to reduce latency and jitter while increasing message throughput for automated trading environments.
Patrick Guay, senior vice president of marketing at Voltaire, said: Latency reduction is one of the most critical issues facing financial services IT today. The combination of Voltaire’s InfiniBand-based solutions and Tibco’s messaging software solves many of the problems our financial services customers face with growing market data and trading volumes, and enables them to gain a competitive edge.
