Top 5 Global Bank Modernizes Low Latency Trading Infrastructure Download PDF

A top 5 global bank was facing challenges with its aging big data infrastructure for low-latency trading. Its legacy parallel file system was difficult to manage and expand, requiring constant manual intervention and creating daily capacity constraints. With the system’s support ending, the bank needed a modern, scalable solution to meet its demanding performance requirements, prompting it to engage VAST Data.

The bank implemented the VAST Data Platform, a high-performance NFS solution that consolidated its data lakes. The results were significant, including a 6x boost in bandwidth and critical data processes finishing hours faster. The solution also provided an 80% reduction in rack space and over 2:1 data reduction. VAST Data transformed the bank's operations, eliminating daily manual tasks, reducing costs, and providing a future-proof foundation for AI and growth.
