The universe of high-performance capital markets infrastructure is highly fragmented today, with many trading stacks built on stitched-together legacy software. Typically assembled from a combination of in-house and outsourced solutions with a mash-up of programming languages and design philosophies, these stacks can struggle with spotty performance, difficult upgrades, and uncertain interoperability.

Based on decades of experience as a founder, capital markets CTO, and designer of high-performance networking systems, my conclusion is that these challenges can be solved by providers willing to adopt a comprehensive, true platform—built through a hyper-unified approach to development.

For market participants looking to address critical needs like pre-trade risk, enterprise trading risk, market access, high-speed market data delivery and consumption, or matching engine technology, a platform-as-a-service solution seamlessly integrates and unifies all solutions across these firms and product sets.

This is the approach we have taken since I launched HPR in 2011. Through rigorous engineering discipline, it can deliver unmatched reliability, scalability, and performance in all areas of trading infrastructure.
