Mellanox Chases Low Latency

SIFMA, N.Y. -- Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ: MLNX; TASE: MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end connectivity solutions for data center servers and storage systems, and Corvil, a provider of latency management systems for high performance trading and market data, today announced a joint demonstration at SIFMA showcasing live latency measurements at nanosecond resolution. Mellanox will demonstrate the industry-low, sub 300ns latency performance of its recently introduced 10/40Gb Ethernet switch using Corvil‟s market-leading latency management system, CorvilNet. Nanosecond-level measurement is particularly important for co-located trading systems where component latencies of a few microseconds can have a material impact on system performance. Response times are now well into the sub-millisecond range in many cases. Traders are becoming more interested in monitoring small changes in response time and how they might affect the behavior of their strategies, since it is relative speed, rather than absolute response time, that really determines trading success. “Components of the trading loop are now achieving latencies in the low microsecond range. This necessitates the use of nanosecond-level measurement to gage their performance,” said Donal O‟Sullivan, VP Product Management, at Corvil. “CorvilNet is unique in its ability to monitor latency with nanosecond precision for electronic trading applications and infrastructure. We are delighted that CorvilNet has been used to validate the performance of Mellanox‟s 10/40GbE switch.”
