Case Study: Saxo Bank achieves ultra-low-latency, scalable streaming and reduced hardware costs with Informatica Ultra Messaging

Informatica Ultra Messaging solution helps leading investment bank provide competitive, and appealing streaming prices and a more agile, responsive service to clients

Saxo Bank, a global investment bank specializing in online trading and investments, faced explosive growth in trading data and rising transaction costs while needing faster, higher-value service for clients. The bank needed to control message-volume growth, introduce horizontal scaling and ultra-low latency in the core transaction phase, and guarantee timely delivery of market and trade data.

By adopting an edge data streaming solution (Informatica Ultra Messaging), Saxo Bank gained low-latency, application- and network-independent messaging with high throughput on parallel commodity hardware. The solution enabled competitive streaming prices, expanded the bank’s offering into more sophisticated trading services, reduced hardware costs, and improved the timeliness of risk decisions—allowing Saxo to be more agile, responsive, and take on more business.
