Unlocking performance infrastructure

For too long, ultra-low-latency technologies like field-programmable gate arrays (FGPAs) and high-performance network cards have been reserved for an elite subset of the market. But, as market data volumes continue to grow and co-location space becomes increasingly constrained, the pressure to optimize infrastructure is now a universal challenge.

This webinar explores how firms beyond the traditional latency-focused crowd, including broker-dealers, agency brokerage desks and mid-tier firms, can reduce complexity, shrink their data center footprints and future-proof their operations using modern infrastructure. From outdated software stacks to overloaded servers and rising co-location costs, many firms are grappling with architectural decisions made a decade ago. Throwing more hardware at the problem isn’t sustainable—it’s time to rethink what high performance is and who it’s for.

This webinar will explore:

Why modern infrastructure challenges from rising data volumes to limited co-location space are no longer just problems for the fastest firms
How legacy architectures and software-based feed handlers are struggling to keep pace with today’s demands, even for firms that don’t identify as latency-sensitive
The parts of the tech and data stack that offer the most impact when optimizing for scale, simplicity and efficiency
How centralized, hardware-accelerated processing (via FPGAs) can dramatically reduce server sprawl, power consumption and operational overhead—not just latency
How firms across the market can now access best-in-class technology that was once reserved for elite market-makers without overhauling their entire tech stacks
What a strong business case looks like for adopting high-performance infrastructure that delivers future-proofed performance.
