A-Team Insight Exchange is a new event series for 2010, which will combine A-Team’s expertise in financial markets IT with thought leadership from world-class technology innovators and practical experience from financial market practitioners.

London-based Paremus is adopting low-latency messaging middleware from Real-Time Innovations (RTI) for internal communications underpinning its Service Fabric cloud computing platform. The move will allow Service Fabric to be deployed more readily in support of high performance front office and trade processing applications, and also allows Service Fabric developers to leverage RTI’s middleware for their own messaging requirements.

Low latency connectivity has enjoyed a resurgence of interest as high-performance trading architectures become a reality. Early interest in the low-latency ‘vision’ may have been interrupted by the global financial crisis, but no matter: low latency is back, and providing the catalyst for the explosion in high frequency trading.
As liquidity continues to fragment – in the US and globally – electronic trading operations are demanding connectivity to a broader array of execution venues. As well as traditional exchanges, traders today need access to alternative trading systems, including electronic communications networks, dark pools and multilateral trading facilities (MTFs). Securing and maintaining a robust, high-performance connectivity solution is key to providing comprehensive market access.
StreamBase Systems is introducing a community development approach to complex event processing (CEP) with the launch of its StreamBase Component Exchange (SBX), which will allow developers to download and share reusable components in order to create complete applications. The company hopes to “spark innovation” with its initiative, which it says has been driven by customer demand. The move is another illustration of how financial markets firms are embracing collaborative and open source approaches as they seek to reduce development costs and speed time to market.
Credit Suisse’s decision to implement Celoxica’s hardware appliance-based data feedhandlers for its next-generation trading infrastructure appears to be consistent with its belief that its best opportunity for reducing overall trading system latency lies in addressing the processing latency of execution engine and the market data systems that support it.
Introduced late last year as a private repository for members of its Benchmark Council, the Securities Technology Analysis Center (Stac) has found its Vault facility is proving useful to members, especially for the filing of unaudited reports that are not quite ready for fully public consumption. IBM is one vendor that is embracing the facility, which is just one of the initiatives that Stac is focusing on for 2010.
