Once again, 29West-Informatica generated substantial “buzz” at the show, announcing general availability of a major new release of Latency Busters Messaging (LBM), version 4.0, along with new features like Ultra Load Balancing (ULB) and new products like Ultra Messaging® Queuing Edition (UMQ) — for more, see links below.
For those who don’t know, SIFMA is an annual show put on by the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, an organization which “brings together the shared interests of hundreds of securities firms, banks and asset managers”. High on that list of shared interests, of course, is ultra-low-latency messaging technology, which is precisely what 29West-Informatica’s Ultra Messaging is all about.
To all the prospects and customers who stopped by our booth, thanks! To those that didn’t, hope to see you next time!
Pictured at the right is our booth before the opening of the show, featuring Matt Saxe, Sales Director for the Northeast region, perfecting his delivery for the camera. In the background is Systems Engineer Gideon Goldman, doing actual work, as usual. Or, maybe he’s checking World Cup scores. It’s pretty hard to tell.

Many thanks to all who registered for our ZLT London event, held on June 8. Sure, the vicious rainstorm and uncooperative public transit closures didn’t help us out much, but even through all that, over 70 attendees made it to the venue at Nomura House.

Low Latency Reduction – The Latest Techniques, and Where We’re Heading
The current level of interest in latency reduction is manifesting in three principal ways: vendors are embracing new techniques; the requirement for latency reduction implies the requirement for latency monitoring and benchmarking; and lastly, the latency spotlight is also falling on the fundamental principles of network architecture and switch design. Bob Van Valzah, 29West director of product marketing, will join the TS-Associates sponsored panel of experts.

Bob Van Valzah, director of product marketing for Informatica’s 29West Ultra Messaging, will join the Cisco-sponsored panel of experts.
Session 2, 11 – 11:50
Ensuring Real-World Low-Latency – Performance When it Counts
The key to differentiating low-latency that will impact your bottom line is to ensure that your applications can handle real-world situations such as volume spikes and massive price movements with no degradation in performance. The most intense trading is the time when you make (or lose) your real money and you need your latency to be at the lowest or risk getting run out of the market. New techniques for better understanding the capacity and performance characteristics of these transaction platforms will increasingly drive competitive advantage. Through this lens, winners will design, architect and implement the next generation capabilities for dominance. This session will explore the impact of low-latency and its measurement as well as ensuring performance when it counts.
Stop by Session 2 and say hello to Bob.
