Speed, execution and money all go hand in hand in the financial computing environments. “Fast” is no longer fast enough and time to complete a transaction is imperative. Profit and loss live and die in the space between milliseconds, and if you’re not leading the pack, you’re falling behind in the world of high frequency trading. ICC has been perfecting the art and science of high frequency servers for over 25 years and is a market leader and large distributor of High Frequency Servers globally.
Time in the trading market, just like in electronics and optics, works in the nanoseconds unit of measurement and the faster, the better. High Frequency Trading [HFT] is algorithm based and the faster the outputs and executions, the better the result. High Frequency Servers are based around addressing speed (low latency) and algorithms to address issues such as tick-to-trade (tick-to-order).
Overclocking and low latency matter a lot in this space and ICC has two custom products for this market. They are as follows:

Stay Ahead of the High Speed Trading Curve
High Frequency Trading systems are evolving to stay ahead of market curves, with some focused on pure speed while others provide sheer computational muscle. That means you need to stay of ahead of the curve with your computing solutions. The ideal solution includes fast servers which easily integrates with low latency functions, provides ample room for overclocking, power for risk analysis and leading-edge parallelism.
