Case Study: Direct Edge achieves 83% lower latency and $1M in hardware savings with Informatica Edge Data Streaming

New Jersey based electronic marketplace saves $1 million in hardware cost, decreases latency by 83% and achieves 100% uptime in data delivery using Informatica Ultra Messaging

Direct Edge, a Jersey City–based electronic marketplace with 85 employees and daily trading volumes above one billion shares, needed to scale from a matching engine to a full stock exchange while lowering latency, cutting costs and shrinking its system footprint. Its existing messaging environment suffered high and inconsistent latency, limited throughput and TCP-only transport, and projected capacity growth threatened a 100% jump in messaging hardware investment.

By deploying Informatica’s Edge Data Streaming to provide enterprise-class scalability and reliability, Direct Edge eliminated those bottlenecks and dramatically improved performance. The result was $1 million in hardware savings, an 83% reduction in latency, 100% uptime to data delivery and a 50% faster time to market.
