Case Study: Lucera achieves agile, ultra-low-latency trading infrastructure with Pluribus Networks

Agile Financial Infrastructure for Lucera

Lucera is a high-performance, on‑demand infrastructure provider for capital markets that was built by high‑frequency traders to meet the extreme demands of trading: microsecond latency, bursty traffic, tight cost and space constraints, and rapid implementation of regulatory or market-driven changes. The challenge was to deliver ultra‑low latency and millisecond‑scale responsiveness while maintaining agility, scalability and cost efficiency across global markets.

Lucera solved this by deploying Pluribus Networks’ merchant‑silicon switches running Netvisor OS and a tightly integrated server‑switch SDN architecture, with SDN compute nodes (l‑flows), always‑on analytics, and top‑of‑rack service hosting. The result is ultra‑low latency and in‑order packet delivery, efficient market‑data movement, dense low‑cost connectivity, real‑time latency monitoring, rapid time‑to‑market for changes, better burst handling, reduced OPEX and freed rack space that can be converted into revenue.
