Today, market data continues to grow exponentially - as does the demand for analytics from the Risk, Derivatives Pricing and Trading Strategies groups. How will your IT department deliver when floor space, power and budget are scarce? The advanced storage platforms from DDN enable you to implement a more scalable and efficient solution without the need to add additional Tick data stores or Analytics servers.

DDN recently completed a series of market data and analytics benchmark tests, created and audited by the independent Securities Technology Analysis Center (STAC). The results show that the same server when used with DDN storage systems delivered:

• 750% faster throughput on I/O intensive benchmarks, returning results to user 350% times faster
• Improved Post-Trade analytics, such as a market snapshot, up to 70% faster
• Accelerate Research Analytics for tasks such as market statistics analysis by 100%
• Learn how DDN achieves faster analytics results from servers with 1/2 the cores and 1/2 the memory by using faster storage
• Improve analytics server efficiency to cut the number of analytics licenses in ½ while delivering better response times

Our solutions enable you to simplify and consolidate tick data storage and accelerate analytics applications for the Capital Markets.
