Compression Technology

With the advent of penny option pricing over the full range of exchange listed derivative products, many estimate the bandwidth requirements will jump from the current load of about 440k messages per second to over 900k. That9s almost full GIG speed. As a result, the hardware in many large companies hardware will be stressed to the max. The result could be disastrous, but there is a solution. It works in real time with 0 latency built into compression and decompression. It utilizes the fastest data network available (BT Radianz Ultra Dark Fiber network). Compression algorithms can compress 1 gig of data down to 50-75 MBs. That means failed infrastructure worries will be a thing of the past. TOPICS:Options, information providers/credit ratings
