Important considerations in LCG’s decision to outsource Solace’s infrastructure were its ability to handle information routing between the brokerage’s internal applications, as well as reduce latency and simplify data flows to ensure LCG applications are always synchronized. This helps reduce response times and Slippage for its comprehensive network, the company says.
Solace's message routers are also projected to reduce the datacenter footprint while also providing improved monitoring and management.
According to Annivas, CIO of LCG, in a recent statement on the integration of Solace solutions: "Solace technology helped us upgrade our information pipeline to ensure data is shared in a fast and reliable manner. We are now able to easily connect all elements of our trading applications so we can efficiently scale to meet the changing needs of our business."
