NYSE Technologies' Data Fabric™ with Voltaire 10 Gigabit Ethernet
Message Acceleration Software Delivers Record-Breaking Performance on
Ethernet
Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of scale-out data
center fabrics, today announced a new low latency 10 Gigabit
Ethernet-based messaging solution in collaboration with NYSE
Technologies. This combination dramatically accelerates the performance
of automated trading and market data applications achieving average
latencies of 25 microseconds at rates of 1 million 200 byte messages per
second per core.
Voltaire and NYSE Technologies have worked closely for the past three
years to deliver low latency messaging solutions based on InfiniBand to
financial services customers. The two companies recently introduced a
solution based on Voltaire’s 40 Gb/s InfiniBand switches and software
that delivers record-breaking performance of less than 10 microsecond
latency at greater than 1 million messages per second. While the
InfiniBand-based solution is best suited for customers who need the
lowest latency possible, the new solution announced today based on 10
Gigabit Ethernet provides the best performance available on
Ethernet-based fabrics and gives customers that prefer to standardize
their data center networks on Ethernet, a competitive option.
According to Conor Allen, Head of R&D at NYSE Technologies, “By
combining NYSE Technologies’ Data Fabric technology and Voltaire’s VMS
message acceleration software for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, we’re delivering
the highest performance messaging solution based on Ethernet for
automated trading infrastructures. In addition to ultra-low latency, the
solution scales easily and has low power consumption to meet the
price-performance and energy efficiency requirements of next generation
trading infrastructures. We’re pleased to extend the work we’ve done
with Voltaire on InfiniBand to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.”
The solution tested by NYSE Technologies and Voltaire delivers
record-breaking performance for an Ethernet-based market data delivery
solution of 25 microseconds latency at rates of 1 million 200 byte
messages per second per core. The solution consists of NYSE
Technologies’ Data Fabric high performance middleware and Voltaire
Messaging Service (VMS) software technology which lowers latency and
increases transactions per second for market data applications. The
solution is compatible with Voltaire Vantage™ 8500 10 Gigabit Ethernet
switches which are expected to be available later this year.
The Voltaire Vantage™ 8500 is a high-performance, high density,
scale-out, Layer 2 core 10 Gigabit Ethernet switch that enables users to
benefit from new levels of efficiency, scalability and lower latency,
while simplifying and consolidating network tiers to lower
infrastructure expenses.
