Direct Edge: Growth Leader Gains an Edge
Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series’ performance and reliability help Direct Edge challenge Wall Street’s giants.
Some companies might scale back their growth plans in the face of global recession and industry turbulence. Not electronic stock market Direct Edge. Focusing on customer-centered innovation, Direct Edge doubled its trading volume in the last year and vaulted a key competitor to become the third-largest market center for the trading of U.S. cash equities, trailing only the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq1. Now, Direct Edge has set its sights higher. Pending approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, it will open Wall Street’s newest stock exchange in the spring of 2010. And the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series will serve as its technology engine.
Challenges
• Extreme performance. Shaving a few microseconds off execution speeds can mean the difference between business success and also-ran status.
• No fail. Infrastructure failure can produce an immediate loss of business.
• Massive Scale. Between soaring company growth and swings in trading volumes, Direct Edge’s infrastructure must be ready for anything. The demands are rising as the company anticipates its evolution from electronic communications network (ECN) to full stock exchange.
Solutions
• Drive growth with the Intel® Xeon® processor series. Calling it the clear leader, Direct Edge has made the Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series the cornerstone of its forthcoming trading platform and disaster recovery expansion.
