In order to meet the investment needs of futures investors to deal with extreme market conditions, the high-frequency trading system of securities companies has entered the era of nanosecond trading. Even a one-thousandth of a second delay in the exchange of financial futures may cause tens of millions of losses to client agents. High-frequency trading of futures and securities is a relatively special financial application scenario. Users not only need the server used for trading to have powerful computing power, but more importantly, it can provide ultra-low response delay.

This is a very difficult challenge for server manufacturers. On the one hand, since the high-frequency trading process involves massive calculations, it is determined that the back-end needs to be supported by servers with high stability and high reliability. In order to meet the investment needs of extreme market conditions, it is also necessary to squeeze the main frequency of every 1Hz of the CPU to the limit, so as to obtain nanosecond time advantage for customers. Based on this, Gooxi launched the "Light and Shadow" series of HFT high-frequency trading servers to meet the extremely stringent professional needs of customers.

First air-cooled heat dissipation

High reliability & versatility

Gooxi Ray series of high-frequency trading servers are the first to adopt air-cooled solutions in the industry. Since the high frequency trading (HFT) server uses a high frequency CPU, the power consumption of the CPU can be as high as 350W or more. At present, the vast majority of manufacturers in the market use liquid cooling solutions. Although liquid-cooled heat dissipation is more efficient, many IDC rooms currently refuse to provide hosting services from the perspective of liquid leakage protection, while air-cooled solutions can be unobstructed. However, the air-cooled solution adopted by Gooxi has no such troubles.

Stable-frequency system guarantees the server

Continuous operation at 5GHz extreme speed

Due to the extreme processing speed required for high-frequency trading, the CPU is always running at full load, so there will be a phenomenon of frequency hopping. In order to solve this bottleneck problem, Gooxi's Ray series of high-frequency trading servers start from three aspects: power supply, instantaneous heat dissipation, and BIOS adjustment.

Flexible & scalable design

Support for more complex applications

In order to meet the scalable needs of high-frequency trading, when most manufacturers in the industry are still relying on real-time data analysis of FPGA cards, Gooxi Ray series of high-frequency trading servers are designed with dual full-height PCIE cards to provide sufficient flexibility for expansion function, which is the first in the industry. In addition, two half-height PCIEs are designed to meet more complex network configuration requirements.

Build an ultra-low latency network

Limit delay reduction

In order to meet the needs of real-time response and concurrent request processing for financial high-frequency trading, Gooxi Ray series of high-frequency trading servers have introduced solarflare low-latency network cards, and have done a lot of optimization in BIOS, underlying drivers, etc. performed to the extreme. In addition, this series system introduces the memory of B-die particles and undergoes a series of optimizations to ensure that the data latency in the memory is lower, and the 3G load latency is not higher than 53NS.

IPMI remote control

Further improve reliability

This series of high-frequency trading servers can realize a series of remote control methods such as remote opening, remote KVM, system health management, system operation log, etc., to ensure higher controllability and reliability for users.

It can be seen that Gooxi Ray series of high-frequency trading servers can provide customers with real-time market services accurate to nanoseconds in the highly time-sensitive high-frequency trading financial market, and gain more operation time for investors to make investment decisions and space, effectively improve customer experience, and help customers to further seize market opportunities.
