Case Study: Pico Quantitative Trading achieves high-throughput, resilient global data distribution with Solace

Pico Quantitative Trading - Customer Case Study

Pico Quantitative Trading, a financial technology services firm and agency-only broker dealer, needed a high-performance data distribution platform for its managed trading service. The company evaluated several middleware options and chose Solace 3200 series appliances to support connectivity to exchanges and execution venues, market data feeds, integrated risk management, and disaster recovery across geographies.

With Solace, Pico Quantitative Trading deployed a compact, easy-to-operate middleware infrastructure that delivered extremely high message throughput, WAN distribution, and multi-site disaster recovery. Solace helped Pico meet its data distribution needs with a much smaller footprint than competing solutions, while increasing the capacity, functionality, and geographic reach of its platform.
