Case Study: I'M Investment & Securities achieves low-latency, scalable global FX and futures trading with Altibase

I'M Investment & Securities - Customer Case Study

I'M Investment & Securities, a leading global investment firm, faced severe latency and reliability problems with its legacy Oracle-based futures/options trading system as online trading volumes grew and its FX platform expanded globally. Trade execution and confirmations became unreliable, total cost of ownership ballooned, and the firm needed a secure, high-performance DBMS that could deliver instantaneous exchange-rate updates—so I'M turned to Altibase to solve these challenges.

Altibase was adopted in 2007 for domestic futures/options and, after consistent gains in speed, connectivity and stability, was expanded in 2010 across I'M’s FX margin and overseas futures platforms using Altibase in in-memory-only mode (installed on IBM AIX). Altibase dramatically reduced latency and CPU usage, delivered uninterrupted, precise trade execution, enabled instantaneous FX updates, and lowered TCO while providing stronger technical support—results that now underpin all of I'M Investment & Securities’ global real-time trading activities.
