GigaSpaces, HP Provide Solutions for Financial Services Apps
Gigaspaces Technologies announced the qualification of Gigaspaces
Enterprise and Caching Editions on HP ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers
designed to drive transaction speed, end-to-end scalability and uptime for
joint financial services and securities industries customers.
As capital markets continue to evolve in their transaction and analytic
processing, financial services firms must strive for cost effective,
financial applications run over commodity hardware, such as x86 architectures
running Linux. Designed for today's open environments, GigaSpaces enables
business applications with high and volatile transaction volumes unlimited
on-demand scalability and extreme performance across low-cost, open
platforms, such as blade racks and Linux servers.
Anne Ambrose, HP worldwide director of financial services, said, "Customers who
are looking to launch low-latency, distributed systems, require an entire
solution. We look forward to working with GigaSpaces to offer HP ProLiant and
HP BladeSystem servers in concert with Gigaspaces' middleware software
designed for scaleable performance and resiliency."
Gigaspaces provides innovative, high-performance application
infrastructure that delivers end-to-end scalability of high-volume
transactional applications, as the business grows. Over a single platform it
fixes both processing and data bottlenecks at the same time, without the
overhead and complexity inherent in traditional tier-based environments. In
addition to meeting all performance and scalability requirements, Gigaspaces
automatic system monitoring and management capability ensures system
availability and system performance, while eliminating the need to implement,
integrate and manage multiple middleware components. This dramatically
reduces up front application costs, as well as the ongoing costs associated
with maintenance and support of multiple vendor applications.
