Quod Financial Integrates the Informatica Ultra Messaging Family of Products for Low Latency Trading
London, United Kingdom, December 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Quod Financial, a global provider of adaptive trading technology, today announced that it has integrated Informatica’s Ultra Messaging product family (previously 29West), including Ultra Messaging Streaming Edition (UMSE), Ultra Persistence Edition (UMP) and Ultra Messaging Queuing Edition (UMQ) in its underlying platform – the Adaptive Execution Platform (AEP) – to provide its clients seamless communication and accelerated trading.
Quod Financial delivers adaptive electronic trading products that seek liquidity across lit and dark venues, and adapt to the dynamic trading conditions. By integrating Informatica UMS, UMP and UMQ for the trading and market data service driven architecture, Quod Financial achieved their aim of lowering latency and scaling down infrastructure. By utilising shared memory communication, not only will processor latency significantly decrease to Nanoseconds (ns), the remaining processing power will enable firms to remain one-step ahead of the competition.
"The current shift in multi-core processors and new kernel by-pass technologies, not only provides ultra-low latency trading, it reduces the hardware footprint essentially reducing trading costs," says Mickael Rouillere, CTO Quod Financial. "Financial services companies demand infrastructure that can respond rapidly to the dynamic trading environment. Together with the Informatica Ultra Messaging family Quod Financial are creating a powerful, shared memory communication messaging infrastructure, by exploiting multi-core processors, maximising the processing power available."
“The relationship between Quod Financial and Informatica Ultra Messaging is an example of how capital markets customers will be able to execute trades faster and look to gain a competitive advantage through technology,” said Mark Mahowald, general manager, Ultra Messaging, Informatica. “This partnership is further validation of the value that customers are gaining from Informatica’s Ultra Messaging technology. Today the two companies will be able to extend our global reach together and bring the benefits of ultra messaging to more customers.”
Mickael Rouillere, CTO Quod Financial stated “General Availability of the Adaptive Execution Platform with seamless communication will be released early next year.”
