GIGABYTE Rack Servers Overcome the Challenges of Financial Big Data
Financial Markets Where “Time is Money” Seek the Most Up-to-date & Accurate Information
“Time is Money” is a universally recognized
phrase that can be used to accurately
summarize the rapid changes in numbers that result in a massive turnover of
money in the financial industry. A blink of an eye may result in huge
variations of profit, making people wary about the high risks of financial
markets. If you want to demonstrate your prowess trading in these markets, you
should have already evaluated the most up-to-date and accurate information
before you even start.
Along with the rapid development and
popularization of the Internet, the need for “immediacy” plays a pivotal role
in financial transactions. One company has seized on this opportunity and has built
an integrated financial information platform, providing a combination of
financial data, news and analysis through the internet to multinational
corporations, news agencies or financial and legal professionals, feeding them
the latest market quotes and real-time trends so they can accurately grasp the
best opportunities for trading.
A Multi-Functional Financial Information Platform? GIGABYTE’s Products Can Help Deliver Every Part
In order to provide investors with a better
and more efficient service, a world-renowned financial information company
constantly upgrades their IT infrastructure, using servers to process huge
amounts of data such as global stock prices, corporate bonds, exchange rates,
futures and other content, as well as financial market historical data, prices,
trading information and so on.
After relevant data is collected, it is processed and analyzed before being instantly and accurately presented, and stored in a database. Since it must be ensured that all these operations are performed on a server with sufficient reliability and stability, this world-renowned financial information company has chosen to use GIGABYTE’s design optimized Rack Server products. 《Recommend for you: About GIGABYTE's Rack Server Products》

An “Ultra-Customizable” Server Provides More Possibilities for Different Hardware Configurations
“Our systems are designed to consider various
changes in requirements. A single server can support many different
configurations” explains Eric Kao, Server Product Marketing Manager for North
America, consistent with GIGABYTE’s spirit of customer service of providing
maximum product customization. After confirming the CPU and memory requirements
with the customer, GIGABYTE can utilize a modular backplane board to support a
different number and specification of NVMe SSD disks as required. In addition,
networking cards, RAID cards or accelerator cards can also be installed into
modular expansion slots to meet customer needs. Part of GIGABYTE’s Rack Server
Series, the R181-NA0 solved this customer’s problem by allowing them to
purchase a single machine to meet a variety of different hardware
configurations, streamlining purchasing, simplifying management and thus
reducing costs.
A Modular Chassis Design – Quickly Satisfying Needs of Various Customers
Recalling the time when GIGABYTE began competing to win the project with this world-renowned financial information company, we provided fully customized products for the customer to evaluate, which had outperformed other competitors in terms of product functionality, stability, benchmark scores, and service. GIGABYTE was more proactive in understanding the needs of customers in advance and adjusting the product accordingly, as well as providing the customer with continuous re-adjustments in a relatively short period of time to generate better performance.
Supporting the Latest Management Software to Help Customers to Reduce Operating Costs – GIGABYTE is Ahead of the Competition
Redfish API is different from traditional server management software. By simply launching the software program remotely, the user can integrate and manage servers from different manufacturers or installed during different time periods using the same software interface and commands, which is very important for enterprise customers. In order to win the new project GIGABYTE’s technical team put in a lot of effort, assigning dedicated engineers in order to clarify all customer requirements, diligently customizing the product design, and sending it back and forth for verification testing until the customer was satisfied. In addition, GIGABYTE spent a lot more time proactively enabling all products that were supplied to support the latest version of Redfish API, leading the competition.
