When it comes to high frequency trading servers, several elements are key. CPUs being one of them. Fresh off the back of the recent AMD Ryzen 7000 series launch,  we can expect to see the new Ryzen 9 7950X, Ryzen 9 7900X, Ryzen 7 7700X, and Ryzen 5 7600X released on September 27th.

Trading servers go through a lot of changes on a regular basis as the ever-changing landscape for tick-to-trade latency continues to improve. CPUs, FPGAs, NICs, network stack enhancements, and choices of data centers with proximity to key systems, are just some of the elements of a trading server that need to be considered for optimal latency, which in the case of a trading server, means maximizing your yields.

With the number of drives available now and the amount of drive types, it’s hard to say which disk setup is optimal for you. Our RAID calculator is a great way to determine the size and amount of disks. Here we’ll talk through some of the pros and cons of some of the RAID modes.

There are many drive types and many RAID modes available on the market today. There are pros and cons to every RAID mode and there are also benefits to onboard RAID as well as a hardware RAID card. On our RAID calculator page we list out the pros and cons to each mode, which are also listed below:

Our team is excited to attend this year’s SIGGRAPH event, the premier conference & exhibition on computer graphics and interactive techniques.

HPC Clusters are becoming more and more common and they are coming in many variations. Put simply, an HPC cluster is many networked computing nodes put together for a particular use case. It’s a cluster of high performing compute nodes. 

When it comes to High Frequency Servers, there are a few key elements needed to ensure successful performance. Tick to trade latency is imperative. This is the key to a highly performing High Frequency Server. We’ve put together a system focused on low latency, which is the key element to success in a high frequency server.

Making the right RAID card choice can often depend on your server configuration and drive type(s) as well as OS support for your particular RAID card(s). 

Intel and AMD are going head to head in a fierce battle for market share. As device growth continues per person and per country, Intel and AMD are after an ever growing space. AMD has really pushed Intel hard over the last couple of years with their Zen 3 based processors. They have continued to eat at Intel’s market share at the consumer and datacenter level.

HighPoint, a manufacturer of leading RAID controllers, has announced a new RAID card with extreme performance for a single RAID array. HighPoint 8-Port High-Port-Count (HPC) M.2 controllers deliver unbeatable performance and storage capacity in a compact PCIe device that can be easily integrated into any industry standard computing platform.
