Intilop Inc., the leading developer and provider of advanced high complexity IPs, FPGAs/ASICs and system solutions in Network traffic acceleration and processing plus security and storage, today announced that the three patents filed with a total of 51 claims have been accepted by the US patent office.

We write a lot here about the latency of moving data from point A to point B. But latency is also inherent in the processing of that data at points A and B. Most likely, the processing of data is a more complex undertaking than transporting it. And that's where big data comes in.

Intilop. a pioneer and a recognized leader in providing highest quality complex networking Mega-IP building blocks and full systems, today announced results of performance testing underway for past several months at a major international customer. The full FPGA based System Platform powered by their latest Ultra Low latency 4th Gen 10G TOE and Ultra Low latency Media Access controller (MAC) that also integrates Ultra-Low Latency PHY in Altera Stratix-V FPGAs. Two of Intilop’s TOE based systems are connected together and are transferring very large data files achieving this level of unprecedented performance since April-May 2012. System is able to sustain the theoretical limit of 1.16 G byte per second in each direction between multiple TCP clients/servers running simultaneously.

Juniper Networks, the industry leader in network innovation, today announced its switching and routing technology has been deployed by TMX Atrium. This will provide flexibility, low latency and high-speed 24/7 connectivity to financial services organizations. TMX Atrium deployed Juniper Networks(R) QFX3500 Switches in its network to distribute market data more quickly and reliably, reaching up to 1.6 gigabits per second, the equivalent of downloading one movie over the Internet every eight seconds.

Zeptonics, a new Sydney-based financial technology firm, today announced an exciting new network device that delivers re-configurable network connections and packet replication with a negligible latency, making it ideal for ‘fan-out’ trading applications such as market data distribution and network monitoring.

Mellanox Technologies, a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced a benchmark result of over 598 million messages a second achieved in the HP low-latency lab in Houston, TX. Mellanox and Bon Trade Solutions achieved the result while testing RDMA messaging used in enterprise trading and pre-trade risk systems across a Mellanox InfiniBand network on HP Proliant Generation 8 (Gen8) servers running Windows Server 2008 R2.

Intilop, a pioneer and a recognized leader in providing complex networking Mega-IP building blocks and full systems, today announced delivery of a full FPGA based System Platform powered by their new Ultra Low latency 4th Gen 10G Nano TOE and Ultra Low latency Media Access controller. It integrates Ultra-Low Latency PHY available in Altera Stratix-V FPGAs. Full System Platform is on an Altera Stratix-V FPGA board from BittWare. This extends their leadership of more than 3 years in providing series of full TOEs and systems powered by them. Their mature, network proven series of TOE's have been deployed in hundreds of networks worldwide including blue-chip companies, financial institutions and major world stock exchanges enabling trade executions in record 1 us. The new platform is bound to shatter this record by yet another few hundred Nano seconds! It is also removing major traffic bottlenecks in Networks around the world.

Zeptonics, a new Sydney-based financial technology firm, today announced production of a switching device with a latency of around 130 nanoseconds[1], the fastest in the world.

Mellanox® Technologies, Ltd. (NASDAQ:MLNX) (TASE:MLNX), a leading supplier of high-performance, end-to-end interconnect solutions for data center servers and storage systems, today announced that Strike Technologies has deployed Mellanox 40 Gigabit Ethernet solutions to connect to the new 40G service offered by a large US-based exchange. The faster connectivity enables Strike to achieve the highest density and lowest port-to-port latency Ethernet performance, enabling the fastest response times for high frequency trading applications.

Juniper Networks, the industry leader in network innovation, today announced that a carrier-class switching infrastructure based on the Juniper Networks QFabric architecture will be deployed at a new data center being built by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEx). The new Hosting Services Data Center, scheduled for completion by the third quarter of 2012, is designed to provide exchange participants with equal, ultra-low latency access to HKEx markets and information.
