LOS GATOS, California - March 18,
2009 - Vhayu Technologies, the leading provider of
enterprise tick data solutions, today announced membership in the
NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) Partner Program. Financial services providers
use tick data, an amalgamation of price and volume data, to derive
real-time analysis of the equities, futures, and options markets.
Vhayu is collaborating with NetApp to tightly integrate
NetApp® storage solutions into a Vhayu Velocity environment.
With this partnership, customers will be able to cost effectively
store and easily share tick data volumes in the multiterabyte
range.
Vhayu's Velocity suite of products for the
financial services industry contains high-performance market data
solutions for the capture and high-speed analysis of massive
amounts of streaming and historical data. A critical piece of
Vhayu's solution is the ability to use fast and reliable shared
storage to access historical archives of trading data. Through
Vhayu's membership in the NetApp Partner Program, customers benefit
from NetApp's unified storage solution, which is second to none in
allowing storage access by using multiple protocols-including FC,
iSCSI, NFS, and CIFS-in a single architecture.
"NetApp and Vhayu engineers recently
completed an extensive project to demonstrate the suitability of
NetApp storage for Vhayu Velocity implementations," said John
Coulter, vice president of Corporate Strategy at Vhayu. "Overall,
we found that NetApp FC SAN storage systems provided excellent
performance when configured with the Vhayu applications. Together,
the solution offers customers a proven option for the storage of
historical data and archive access."
"The NetApp Partner Program brings
cost-effective, validated solutions to our customers that speed
time to market," said Patrick Rogers, vice president of Solutions
Marketing at NetApp. "Through this partnership, NetApp storage
systems and NetApp FlexClone® technology will help Vhayu's
customers deploy Velocity in a multiterabyte data environment while
maximizing storage efficiency and minimizing deployment time."
