FSMLabs announces Enterprise Real-TimeNet which lowers and guarantees network latency, network bandwidth and network task execution with round-trip worst-case times of 50 microseconds. Real-TimeNet controls network I/O CPU processes with its fully controllable, zero-copy deterministic hard real-time networking stack with support for ICMP, IP, UDP and TCP that improves routing, security and enterprise fault-tolerance by decoupling/separating soft real-time network calls from hard real-time network calls thus creating a “Real-Time Processes Layer” which eliminates network bottle-necks and increases network data throughput. In combination with Real-TimeNet, RTTimeSync addresses Wall Street’s technology compliance issues related to precise transaction time-stamps and network response times for OATS, MiFID and Reg. NMS. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), has listed RTTimeSync as a clock synchronization timestamp solution that eliminates clock-drift and keeps their members compliant with federal regulations. RTTimeSync, FSMLabs’ maiden product on IBM’s “Ready for IBM Grid Computing” partner program, synchronizes distributed network clocks in grids and clusters within ~250 nanoseconds of any time source, while Real-TimeNet lowers latency and guarantees network bandwidth with 25 microseconds one-way worst-case latency times. FSMLabs Lowers Latency for Wall Street with Real-Time Networking Stack “FSMLabs brings a higher level of performance to HPC with control of CPU processes at the Real-Time Processes Layer.,” says Marcus Webster, VP of Sales for FSMLabs. He continued by saying, “By decoupling soft real-time from hard real-time at the layer between the OS and the CPU, computers can handle more network traffic, guarantee the precise time-stamps and avoid the backlog of network traffic jams as seen on February 27th by the NYSE.” For securities firms interested in lowering their network latency and improving their network clock synchronization, Real-TimeNet can transmit data securely at the lowest possible latency while RTTimeSync can time-stamp each transaction within ~250 nanoseconds of any time source. Real-TimeNet and RTTimeSync for Financial Services works with Linux, BSD and Microsoft Windows is currently available from FSMLabs, along with RTMS, their Real-Time Management System, at its Web site.
