GATElab Adopts Solarflare Hardware for HFT
GATElab Ltd, a London-based trading systems vendor, and Solarflare, a provider of 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) server adapters, have announced that the latter will provide its ultra-low latency product to GATElab's high frequency customers.
"We found that the board provided by Solarflare is very, very useful for us," says Stefano Falciani, managing director of GATElab Ltd. "We wanted to establish this partnership with them because I think it is very useful for both of us. We believe that the performance of our high frequency trading software is on the top tier in terms of efficiency, as well as these boards provided by Solarflare. So we think this is a good wedding."
Falciani says the microsecond savings achieved through Solarflare's adapters betters the performance with any others.
"GATElab's mission to constantly provide the best latency performance available on the market mirrors our own business philosophy," says Peter Jones, Solarflare's Managing Director International Sales and Channel. "Solarflare is looking forward to a long-term relationship with GATElab delivering a world-class, ultra-low latency solution to our common customers in multiple financial centers around the world."
The agreement was signed a couple of weeks ago. GATElab plans to announce the first customer to go live on the new hardware in the coming days.
