Sybase launches Next-Generation analytics platform for Wall Street
May 2008 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Sybase Inc. announced the launch of RAP – The Trading Edition, a next–generation market analytics platform that lets capital markets firms make better trading, risk and portfolio decisions with less risk through timelier, more comprehensive market insight. Designed specifically for high-volume, high-velocity trading environments, RAP – The Trading Edition accelerates varying analytics requirements for all asset classes in a single platform.
RAP – The Trading Edition enables capital markets firms to capture and consolidate high volumes of market data feeds by efficiently storing multiple years of trade and other data in real time—compressing stored data by up to 70% and capable of storing up to terabytes of data—while delivering 10 to 100 times faster analytics performance than traditional data management platforms.
Other key beneficiaries of the solution include quantitative analysts, risk managers, and compliance officers. Analysts can run powerful quantitative models against years’ worth of time-series market data, trading histories, and reference data, with complex analysis running in minutes vs. hours; risk managers can monitor balance sheet exposure hourly to reduce firm-wide risk; and compliance officers can audit the trade flow to meet the latest compliance requirements.
