Presentation: "Introduction Finance/Banking..."

Track: Banking: Complex high volume/low latency architectures

Time: Wednesday 10:30 - 10:45

Location: Abbey Room

Abstract: In Finance/Banking systems it's not uncommon to see applications delivering over 1 million messages per second. In XTP (extreme transaction processing) applications, high volumes with low latency is fundamental requirement. This track looks at some of the latest innovations as well as time-proven best practices that architects of banking & finance systems need to know. If you've ever thought of moving your servers from one side of the building to the other to shave a few milliseconds off a message exchange, then this track is for you.
