In capital markets, how each firm uses the information at its disposal defines the winners and the losers. Increasingly, the new information arms race for financial services firms revolves around latency — how fast from the time an event occurs can a firm begin to uniquely analyze and decide what to do about it? What started as a focus on ultra-low latency in market data delivery is now also a requirement for news and corporate events — anything that might effect trading or business decisions. This expansion of both volume and breadth of low-latency information has put substantial strain on financial firms’ information infrastructures and new approaches are emerging, including the use of specialized hardware for high-volume, low-latency content distribution.
