Description
- Today’s leading trading firms, market makers, hedge funds, and exchanges demand low latency trade execution and risk management for competitive advantage.
- For traders seeking a plug-and-play NIC upgrade, quants seeking computational offload to accelerate their algorithms, or partners seeking ultimate flexibility to build their own fintech solutions, the new Alveo™ X3 series of low latency network adapters and accelerator cards offers both turnkey deployment or custom implementation paths.
- Available in two variants, the Alveo X3522 low latency network adapter provides a low latency NIC with an optional upgrade for user programmability.
- The Alveo X3522PV adaptable accelerator card provides a fully programmable option for fintech customers to implement a customized, low latency solution.
- Collectively, the portfolio reduces overall system latency by bringing compute closer to the wire.
