Low Latency: Eliminating Application Jitter With Solaris

Overview

Sun is working closely with leading application partners to address the latency and performance issues across the end-to-end trade process. A key focus is the market data space. The annual doubling in market data volume over past years will likely be eclipsed in 2007 due to Reg NMS andMiFID2, penny quoting of options, proliferation of venues on which instruments trade and of dark pools of liquidity and the unprecedented growth of algorithmic trading. Large sell-side institutions are further exacerbating the issue by adding their own internally generated realtime data to their market data systems. Older market data systems are unlikely to keep up (as evidenced by a publicized hiccup at a major exchange), and trading firms are moving quickly to upgrade these systems.
