Cisco has collaborated with NYSE Technologies, a provider of electronic trading services, to develop an ethernet-based integrated messaging system for the financial services industry that accelerates automated trading environments and improves end-to-end application performance using industry standards-based technologies.
The system supports the Cisco Data Center 3.0 vision to help its customers build next-generation data centers that support their business goals.
The system tested by Cisco combines NYSE Technologies’s data fabric high performance middleware, NetEffect remote direct memory access (RDMA)-capable 10GbE network interface cards from Intel, Cisco Nexus 5000 series switches and Cisco RDMA accelerated buffers drivers to accelerate market data infrastructures without requiring customers to implement new transport technologies and without having to change their applications.
Conor Allen, vice president of high performance messaging at NYSE Technologies, said: NYSE Technologies collaborated with Cisco to bring to market an integrated messaging ethernet solution based on data fabric that offers our customers the ability to build high-performance trading infrastructures that deliver the performance they need for their mission critical applications without requiring custom hardware.
Tom Swinford, vice president and general manager of Intel LAN Access Division, said: Financial industry customers want high-performance networking without being locked into proprietary architectures. Ethernet’s broad deployment and track record of sustained innovation and performance increases make it the ideal, easily deployable solution for our customers.
