Azul Helps Cinnober Add Zing to its Java Solution

By including Zing, Cinnober improves response time predictability in its trading, clearing and risk management solutions. It will also result in reduced Java virtual machine (JVM) tuning requirements, which enables faster deliveries of new capabilities. The move complements Cinnober's work with orchestrated memory management, achieving pause-free execution in servers that are critical for low response times.

"Our TradeExpress Ultra technology already enables trading and clearing systems with consistent response times and the lowest latency available, at single-digit microseconds," says Veronica Augustsson, CEO of Cinnober. "Now Azul's supplementary real-time JVM can provide every one of our offerings with consistent response time. Zing is an outstanding JVM with regard to predictability in the demanding domain of financial IT."

With Zing, Cinnober's customers can eliminate latency outliers and deliver scalability as order rates, in-memory data set sizes or user loads grow. Developers can also utilize all available Java libraries and functions.

Zing can be implemented with TRADExpress solutions simply by replacing a system's current JVM, without recompiling or re-architecting. This allows the system to meet service level agreements with regard to predictability and eliminating latency outliers.
