RNA Networks Delivers High Throughput, Low Latency via Virtual Memory

RNA Networks is leveraging memory virtualisation technology to tackle memory bottlenecks that degrade data intensive trading applications. The company’s middleware platform is aimed at improving application performance, eliminating the capacity and cost constraints of server memory, and making memory a scalable networked resource. “Memory virtualisation supports ultra low latency messaging because you no longer have to pass messages through network sockets or messaging server layers. For trading floors this means micro-second delivery of execution orders which is mandatory for automated trading. Also, the algo analytics themselves get a huge boost in speed because memory virtualisation pulls DRAM memory together to create a multi-terabyte memory cloud. This enables in-memory performance for analytics, enabling near real-time access to data for algo programs and empowering traders to build more sophisticated, data-rich models.”
