Financial Trading Software: High-end Solution with Supermicro and Intel

Liquid Capital required infrastructure expansion and refreshment to optimise their investment services up-time. DiGiCOR took the time to understand Liquid Capital’s current data centre situation and what they were trying to achieve. Which is why we developed a high-density solution for their data centre that took into consideration the use case, technical compatibility, scalability, and budgetary requirements.

• Obtain a highly dense and high-end solution that could improve Liquid Capital’s investment services work environment
• The main driving factors include: minimal downtime, highly scalable, and flexible
• Accessible and responsive for any given situation as they have internationally located data centres.

We assessed what the company was currently utilising at their current data centre, which allowed for a highly accurate understanding of what they were trying to achieve. With that, we were able to optimise a high-end solution through a high-performance and high-density environment with significantly reduced costs. At DiGiCOR, we uphold a high level of customer service, quality control and competitive pricing to ensure our solution highly suited their computing and budgetary requirements.

DiGiCOR S262-DS28-ISR

• Quad node solution: compact multiple nodes reduces hardware footprint
• High-end Solarflare NIC cards: low latency networking and application acceleration
• Scalable instead of e5 CPU: improved performance through updated versions
• Reducing hardware footprint: more efficient in use which reduces expenditure costs
• Fit Liquid Capital’s unique requirements: satisfied optimised performance and budget

It was very important for us to understand the company’s specific use case for the solution we are configuring. This has allowed us to pick up on the shortfalls of their initially proposed system, which was an over-kill that was not optimally designed to deliver performance and be cost-efficient. Our expert team navigated the company towards a DiGiCOR solution that was customised to be more in-line with their objectives. We satisfied their main requirements of computing power and budgetary limitations with our alternative solution to refresh their out-dated infrastructure. We were able to simultaneously reduce costs and provide a higher performance solution whilst providing additional equipment and support to their international data centre.
