Enter the Proximity Cloud
Ever since grid and cloud computing popped up on the capital markets’ radar screen, both architectures have been pitched as a cost savings technology that let users spin up virtual servers on demand and retire them as soon as the jobs they ran were over. In addition, firms can transform their capital expenses related to the care and feeding of internal clouds environments to a much lower cost operational expense by paying for just the resources they use by using third-party cloud offerings.
However, most technologists agree that cloud architecture falls down when it tries to run latency-sensitive applications. Most technologists agree that latency-sensitive applications function best on dedicated hardware, which avoids various levels of virtualization and typically are co-located with the exchange or liquidity venue. Cloud environments typically are located outside co-location venues due to the high real estate prices co-location vendors charge.
Speaking with Mark Casey and Adam Wray, CEOs of CFN Services and Tier 3 respectively, they believe that they have solved at least half of the problem through a recently announced partnership. If you are not familiar with the two 5-year old vendors, CFN Services delivers hosted co-located market data and trade execution capabilities to 70 global liquidity centers via its Alpha Platform. Tier 3 offers its clients enterprise-grade virtual private cloud environments within its Chicago, New York and Seattle facilities.

A major shout out to DirectMarkets' Kevin Lupowitz, who agreed to be my firstvictim guest on the Daly Post Podcast. In this approximately 30-minute kick-off episode, we discuss how Kevin's firm looks to re-make the follow-on issuing businesses for corporate issuers by adopting an electronic crossing-network paradigm that directly links issuers to institutional investors.

Stopping the Spread of Greek Fire
One of the enduring mysteries of antiquity is the make up of Greek Fire.
According to records, the Greeks would use this nasty Napalm-like substance to set fire to enemy navies. For the unfortunate victims, no normal fire-fighting techniques could extinguish it. Once a ship caught fire, it burned until there was no more fuel left.
Sound familiar?
