TIBCO and Voltaire Join Forces

Combined Solution Lowers Latency and Significantly Increases Message Capacity of TIBCO Rendezvous Messaging Software: Voltaire today announced that it is working with TIBCO Software to deliver a high throughput, low latency messaging solution for advanced electronic trading environments. "Latency reduction is one of the most critical issues facing financial services IT today," said Patrick Guay, senior vice president of marketing, Voltaire. "The combination of Voltaire's InfiniBand-based solutions and TIBCO's messaging software solves many of the problems our financial services customers face with growing market data and trading volumes, and enables them to gain a competitive edge." Tested by TIBCO, the optimized configuration consists of TIBCO Rendezvous 8.0 software over Voltaire's Grid DirectorT InfiniBand-based switches and software. Voltaire switches provide 10 or 20 Gigabits/second InfiniBand bandwidth and data acceleration software that takes advantage of Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) technology to reduce latency and jitter while increasing message throughput for automated trading environments. "Voltaire solutions delivered outstanding results with TIBCO Rendezvous daemons in our testing environment, reducing latency by over 30% and the latency standard deviation by up to 40%, and significantly increasing maximum message rates compared to Gigabit Ethernet-based deployments," said Jeff Kristick, vice president, Product Marketing, TIBCO. "We look forward to working closely with Voltaire and helping our common customers benefit from the performance, scalability and lower latency of TIBCO Rendezvous on Voltaire InfiniBand-based products."
