The advent of Single Dealer Platforms (SDPs) is advancing the state of the art of investment banking by integrating the delivery of pricing, risk and liquidity to traders. By aggregating information across asset classes and exposing it via intuitive web-based interfaces, sell side firms that implement SDPs can give their clients previously unachievable visibility into complex opportunities for profitable trades. SDPs can deliver value in all areas of securities, with their adoption most prevalent in fixed income (FI) trading and foreign exchange (FX).

Solaces middleware appliance is the ideal messaging platform for SDPs, and is in fact the only product that satisfies all the messaging needs of an SDP. Solaces unified platform supports high rate, ultra low latency messaging, guaranteed/transactional messaging between internal applications, and streaming to client applications over LANs, WANs and even to Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) whether desktop or mobile via HTTP over the Web.
