TIBCO, Voltaire Team on Messaging Solution
Voltaire Ltd., a leading provider of grid backbone solutions for the datacenter, today announced that it is working with TIBCO Software Inc. to deliver a high-throughput, low-latency messaging solution for advanced electronic trading environments.
"Latency reduction is one of the most critical issues facing financial services IT today," said Patrick Guay, senior vice president of marketing at Voltaire. "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."
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.
"Voltaire solutions delivered outstanding results with TIBCO Rendezvous daemons in our testing environment, reducing latency by over 30 percent and the latency standard deviation by up to 40 percent, and significantly increasing maximum message rates compared to Gigabit Ethernet-based deployments," said Jeff Kristick, vice president of product marketing at TIBCO. "We look forward to working closely with Voltaire and helping our common customers benefit from the performance, scalability and lower latency of TIBCO Rendezvous on Voltaire InfiniBand-based products."
