Slough, UK, 1st February 2010 – International solutions provider, Logicalis, today announces it has implemented a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) at Winterflood Securities Ltd, an international capital markets firm and leading liquidity provider headquartered in London.  This is the first Cisco UCS to be deployed in the UK, and will deliver significant first-mover performance and competitive advantage benefits to Winterflood Securities.

As a leading electronic market maker in the UK, Winterflood Securities provides coverage of major global markets.  With data connections into each market, the company regularly processes in the order of 250 million market data updates a day with peaks often passing 30,000 updates in a second.  Winterflood has seen a ten-fold increase in market data volumes through their systems in the past three years and expect this trend to continue.   For Winterflood Securities, the accuracy and ‘speed’ of their data processing is intrinsically linked to client and company profitability.

Wayne Davies, manager networks & infrastructure for Winterflood Securities, comments, “The sheer volume of data processed and value transacted makes our IT infrastructure mission critical.  Platform performance, resilience, and stability are essential for our traders, as is the ability to flex and scale according to market requirements.  Implementing solutions to accelerate data processing and both automate and simplify IT operations play an important role in mitigating risk to the business.

It’s always interesting to read what technologies people have deployed, this article talks about how this company has deployed UCS to deliver competitive advantage, very cool, I’m off to find out more, it’s great to read how people are using the technology and what benefits they expect to see, how it will work for their business.
