CIARA Joins the STAC Benchmark Council

CIARA Technologies

CIARA, a division of the Hypertec Group, announced today that it has become a member of the STAC Benchmark Council, whose purpose is to explore technical challenges and solutions in financial services and to develop technology benchmark standards that are useful to financial organizations. User firms include the largest global banks, brokerage houses, exchanges, hedge funds, proprietary trading shops, and other market participants. Council members define STAC Benchmarks and rely on STAC® for unbiased vendor performance comparisons at every level of the architecture.

“We are proud to announce our membership with STAC,” said Patrick Scateni, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at CIARA. “CIARA is committed to offering low-latency, high-performance computing solutions for financial institutions that comprise the STAC Benchmark Council. It is important that we demonstrate the latency and computation performance of our ORION HF server line in ways that are relevant to the financial community. We will be completing several STAC-N1™ benchmark studies to prove that our Orion HF family of servers deliver the lowest mean latency, max latency, and jitter (standard deviation of latency) of any system.”
