Market performance is directly linked to a financial manager’s ability to acquire, analyze and transact data faster than the competition. As financial applications evolve to benefit from scalable cluster computing architectures and high-performance data networks, storage systems need to enable, not bottleneck, the computing system.

Additionally, the rapid growth of online market information is being compounded by regulatory requirements that substantially extend financial market information lifecycles. Storage managers require systems which can store and maintain data for years, and retrieve it at a moments notice.

The DataDirect Networks S2A9550 Storage Systems presents a common storage foundation for both real-time market data processing and analysis as well as long-term cost effective nearline and backup storage.
