VMA version 5.0 adds Industry-Best TCP Acceleration to its Market-Leading Message Acceleration Solution
Mellanox VMA 5.0 delivers sustainable latency under loads of over 2.5 million packets per second and dramatically improves UDP latency to under 2.0 microseconds and transparent sockets TCP latency to under 2.5 microseconds, nearly two times better than competitive offerings. Mellanox VMA 5.0, in conjunction with ConnectX®-2 adapters, delivers the lowest latency and boosts performance for a wide range of finance/trading and Web 2.0 data center applications.
“As data volumes increase in a variety of financial services and Web 2.0 market segments, data center IT end-users are quickly requiring faster, transparent message acceleration solutions that seamlessly run on their existing high-performance networking infrastructure,” said John Monson, vice president of product marketing at Mellanox Technologies. “Mellanox’s VMA can improve performance of any socket based application that requires high packet-per-second rates, low data distribution latency, low CPU utilization or increased application scalability.”
Mellanox VMA provides the fastest order execution time, allowing exchanges to increase market share over slower competing venues. For traders, VMA allows the fastest response time to market data and arbitrage opportunities, and the ability to minimize the impact of pre-trade risk management, now being required by new federal regulations. |
