TRADING / FINTECH

Trading hardware where jitter is the enemy, not latency.

Dedicated cores, no hypervisor, NVMe IOPS that don't throttle, and kernel-bypass-capable NICs. Strategy backtests, execution engines, market data ingestion, and crypto MEV — built on metal that doesn't share its cache with anyone.

Why bare metal

Predictable microseconds, not best-effort milliseconds.

01

No noisy neighbors

Cloud vCPUs share physical cores. That means cache thrash, NUMA migrations, and unpredictable jitter on every tick. Dedicated bare metal eliminates all three.

02

Kernel-bypass ready

Full root access. Install DPDK, OpenOnload, or any custom userspace network stack. Pin IRQs, isolate cores, run your own scheduler — bare metal is the only place this actually works.

03

Tick data at NVMe speed

1M+ IOPS NVMe arrays handle order book reconstruction and tick storage at speeds cloud gp3 volumes simply cannot match. Backtests run in hours instead of days.

Cloud trading is gambling on someone else's scheduler.

Common questions

Answers before you ask.

How does bare metal reduce trading latency?
No hypervisor between your code and the NIC. No noisy neighbor stealing CPU cycles mid-tick. Predictable cache behavior. The result is lower jitter — and for execution algos, jitter matters more than mean latency.
Which locations are best for trading?
Chicago for CME proximity, Frankfurt for Eurex/Xetra, Amsterdam for Euronext peering, Singapore for SGX and Asian crypto exchanges. Pick the region closest to the venue you trade.
Can I run kernel-bypass networking like DPDK or Solarflare?
Yes. Full root access means you control kernel modules, NIC drivers, and IRQ affinity. Install DPDK, OpenOnload, or any custom userspace network stack. Bare metal is the only way this actually works.
Do you support colocation in financial exchanges?
Our facilities are in Tier-3 commercial data centers near major exchanges, not inside the matching engine cages. For sub-microsecond execution against the matching engine, you want true colocation — for everything else, our footprint covers it.
Can I pay for trading infrastructure with crypto?
Yes. USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH — for the crypto trading desks, this removes a card-on-file dependency entirely.
What about NVMe IOPS for tick data storage?
Our NVMe arrays sustain 1M+ IOPS. Tick data archives, order book reconstruction, and backtesting databases all benefit massively over cloud SSDs that cap at ~16K IOPS.
