Customer Case Study - NYSE Euronext: We've "Doubled the Performance and Halved the Cost"; What next?
14:00 - 14:30 - Council Room Business Session
Speaker: Phil Styles, NYSE Euronext
Abstract: Derivatives trading is not alone in demanding ever more performance at reduced costs but is coupled with an almost insatiable requirement for the very lowest possible latency. Just over four years ago, the Derivatives trading business of NYSE Euronext decided to "Double the performance and Halve the Cost" and our migration from a proprietary hardware/OS combination to Industry Standard Servers with Linux began. This presentation describes the journey to date and looks forward to both the technical and business challenges as part of a larger global Exchange group.
Bio: Philip Styles is the Infrastructure Architect at NYSE Technologies with principal responsibility for the Red Hat Linux Infrastructure deployed for Derivatives Trading.
