Maxeler Technologies Appoints Two New Board Members
With the Intel-Altera deal at the end of last year, and Microsoft investing into custom hardware, the concept of computing in space (www.openspl.org) is not any more a niche activity. Maxeler has been the world leader in dataflow computing (a special form of computing in space) since JP Morgan invested in the company in 2011. The attached press release shows further strengthening of Maxeler's position in the finance market.
London, United Kingdom, March 22, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Company names Andy Bach, Juniper Networks’ Chief Architect in Financial Services, as Board of Directors Observer and Jerry Marcus, Former Director at Metromedia Fiber Networks (Now Zayo Group) as member of Maxeler Technologies’ Board of Directors.

“The opportunity we have at Maxeler to lead the next wave of Dataflow innovation across a diverse range of industries is incredible. That is why we are so honored to welcome tech industry veterans Andy Bach and Jerry Marcus to our leadership team,” said Oskar Mencer, CEO and Founder of Maxeler Technologies.
Mr. Bach was formerly the Global Head of Network Services at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE Euronext) and brings a wealth of experience in innovative technologies for the financial industry.

These appointments further strengthen Maxeler’s previously announced partnership to run Maxeler data flow applications on Juniper’s QFX5100-AA switch and QFX-PFA application acceleration switch, which significantly improves the performance of business-critical applications in latency-sensitive computing environments. Ideal for financial services institutions, the switch, acceleration module, and Maxeler’s programmable Dataflow machine abstraction vastly improves the performance of applications that handle market data and social media feeds, order execution routing and big data analytics. These capabilities allow financial firms to make decisions faster and take advantage of real-time market opportunities.

It is my pleasure to join the board of Maxeler to help guide the development of this company and the technology for the benefit of Juniper and the overall industry.”
