Case Study: Spotex achieves 28% better ECN performance with Azul Systems' Azul Prime

ECN running on Azul Platform Prime delivers competitive advantage to buy- and sell-side participants

Spotex, an FX Electronic Communication Network (ECN) focused on improving trading for buy- and sell-side participants, was facing performance and scalability issues in its Java infrastructure. The company experienced garbage collection and other latency spikes of 30–50 milliseconds every 10 minutes, which affected trading performance.

Spotex integrated Azul Prime from Azul Systems into its infrastructure to replace its legacy JVM. With Azul Systems’ solution, Spotex eliminated the latency outliers and improved ECN performance by 28%, delivering a more robust and reliable trading platform for its clients.
