Case Study: Pontus Networks achieves 20X pricing performance and reduced FX arbitrage risk with Azul Systems

Thread Manager plus Azul improves pricing system performance 20X

Pontus Networks, a financial services firm focused on trading and risk, needed to make FX pricing systems more predictable to reduce market arbitrage risk. Its challenge was to avoid latency spikes and stale or inaccurate prices that could expose sell-side organizations to being cherry-picked by faster counterparties. Pontus Networks used Azul Systems’ Azul Prime with Thread Manager to address these performance and latency issues.

Azul Systems’ Thread Manager with Azul Prime improved platform performance by eliminating response-time outliers and making pricing behavior more consistent. The solution delivered a 20X performance improvement, reduced risk and analytics calculation times, and improved messaging and workflow performance, helping Pontus Networks lower arbitrage risk while also reducing capital and operational expenditure.
