As the financial and trading industries continue to migrate to electronic systems, profits become dependent on quick and resilient networking. Our cost-effective solutions address these challenges by delivering performance and stability to both the production and backoffice environments.

Hedge Funds

Small to medium-sized hedge funds have fairly standard technology requirements, but still need to balance technology use with the effort and expense required to manage it. These organizations often attempt to get by and expend minimal resources to own and manage critical technology. As technology advances, the cycle of spending to catch up becomes more costly. Ultimately, smaller financial organizations end up wasting money and time trying to “split the difference” between overspending and underutilizing technology infrastructure. Supporting technology infrastructure is not the core competency of a small hedge fund, yet its use is essential.

Our utility computing solutions are particularly appropriate for small to medium-sized hedge funds. The utility model allows hedge fund managers to use technology without the need to manage it. The balancing act is eliminated. These organizations consistently receive the perfect balance of resources and support, which allows them to focus on their core business functions.

Proprietary Trading Firms

Proprietary trading firms become increasingly dependant on technology as trading activity is converted from outcry to electronic. While technology is critical to a company’s success, the burden and expense of owning and managing it detracts from the core profit-making activity. When the difference between success and failure is measured in milliseconds, propriety trading firms cannot afford to exist without a stable, rapid, and highly resilient infrastructure.

Network Foundations’ solution engages our proven expertise and experience to create stable, efficient, and high-performance networks. This gives proprietary trading firms the ability to act quickly and consistently, and take advantage of rapid shifts in the market. Our utility computing model helps reduce and control costs, and our on-site support personnel provide on-demand support for the trading environment.
