According to Ralf Duken, Head of Networks & Security at LMAX Exchange, in a recent statement on the integration, “Having looked at several providers of network devices, it became clear to us that Metamako’s devices offered a significant improvement compared to our existing, passive solution. Metamako offers several advantages, including dynamic patching, increased network visibility, more accurate timestamps and a simplified network environment, with less cabling.”

“Moving from passive tapping to active, as we are with Metamako, means that we get better signal quality and therefore a reduced error rate. Metamako’s outstanding reliability record, as well as the advanced functionality and speed their devices offer, were critical factors in our decision,” he added.

“Dynamic patching allows LMAX Exchange to change the configuration of their systems remotely, from any location. This means that they will be more responsive to customer demands, as nodes can be added from anywhere, and reduces the errors, which might be introduced through physical rewiring,” noted Dave Snowdon, Founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Metamako, in an accompanying statement.
