The Challenge
In a typical smart order router platform there are the front office components such as client gateways, SOR engines, exchange gateways and trade management systems, with the middle office systems taking care of trade data capture, risk management, regulatory reporting (e.g. OATS) and settlement. The front office needs high-rate, low latency delivery of orders and trades between its components. But the interface between the front office and middle office has different requirements, like the ability to handle extremely high burst rates and persist messages so they aren’t lost even if a consumer can’t consume them. And it must do this without impacting the high-speed front office systems.
