Case Study: a US fintech company achieves 10x performance at 20% of the cost with KX

Fintech company achieves 10x performance at 20% of the cost with KX

Kx Systems worked with a US fintech company that was building an industry-standard FX TCA platform for pre-trade and post-trade analysis. The company needed a database that was flexible, interoperable, fast, supported powerful querying, and could use lower-cost storage.

Kx Systems provided the KX database, which integrated with the customer’s systems and supported APIs for Python, R, and C as well as storage such as S3 instead of expensive SSDs. The result was a highly performant, cost-effective solution that delivered 10x performance and a 75% cost saving compared with the previous approach, at about 20% of the cost.
