Low Latency Infrastructure

The growth in algorithmic trading, the proliferation of trading venues and the resulting fragmentation of liquidity, as well as regulatory requirements to demonstrate best execution, are some of the trends driving an ever increasing need for lower latency in asset classes such as equities.

Technology Vendors are rallying to the call of the Financial Markets, producing high bandwidth, Low Latency Infrastructure, capable of delivering high performance, scalable architectures that are now becoming attractive across market verticals as the need for high performance architecture at a compelling price point grows.

Lato Networks has created an Eco-System of Low Latency Infrastructure Technologies. These technologies are from a number of manufacturers, and only the lowest latency products are included within the Low Latency Eco-System.

• Unicast Firewall - 3 µs
• Mulitcast Firewall - 3.5 µs
• 1-10Gbps Ethernet Switching Layer 2 & 3 - 700 Nanoseconds
• 1-40Gbps Infiniband Switching - 100 Nanoseconds

These solutions vastly reduce the time it takes for financial firms to execute trades, and therefore maximises profit potential. Return on Investment for these products can often be less than 1 day of trading.
