Case Study: Börse Stuttgart achieves scalable, low-latency trading and crypto innovation with NetApp

From Mainstream to Blockchain, German Stock Exchange Innovates in the Private Cloud

Börse Stuttgart, a 150‑year German stock exchange that supports super‑low‑latency trading in more than 1.8 million financial products and powers the BISON cryptocurrency app, faced rising trade volumes, extreme marketplace volatility, and massive data throughput (up to hundreds of thousands of price updates per second). The exchange needed a scalable, highly available infrastructure that could sustain peak loads, ensure business continuity, and simplify operations.

Börse Stuttgart implemented a NetApp-based private cloud—FlexPod converged infrastructure with NetApp AFF and FAS, MetroCluster replication, and NetApp Managed Services (backed by Cisco UCS/Nexus)—across two data centers and colocation. The solution delivered high performance, geo‑redundant availability, storage tiering to cut costs, and support for rapid DevOps, enabling reliable, low‑latency trading, the launch and operation of BISON, and the capacity to focus on future innovation.
