Can Your ADC Keep Up with Your Trading Infrastructure?
Eliminate the Trade-Off Between Ultra-Low Latency and Intelligent FIX Traffic Management
In electronic trading, speed isn't just a performance metric—it's a competitive advantage. Yet many organisations still rely on traditional Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) to manage FIX traffic, forcing a compromise between ultra-low latency and the intelligent traffic steering required to optimise modern trading environments.
Maintaining ultra-low latency as traffic scales
Enabling FiX-aware routing without adding latency
Ensuring application delivery doesn’t become a bottleneck
A10 Ultra-low Latency
What You'll Learn
Discover how trading organisations are modernising their infrastructure to deliver:
- Sub-2 microsecond latency for high-performance trading environments
- Intelligent Layer 7 forwarding based on FIX attributes such as CompID
- Consistent performance through the 99th percentile
- Simplified infrastructure architectures without sacrificing execution speed
- Predictable scalability as trading volumes and complexity increase

What if you didn't have to choose?
Join Gary Nudd and Nick Bond from A10 Networks as they explore how leading financial institutions are achieving sub-2 microsecond latency while maintaining the Layer 7 intelligence needed to efficiently manage FIX traffic at scale.
A10 SPEAKER
Nick Bond, Senior Sales Engineer, A10 Networks
After 10 years in the British Army (mostly cleaning and painting stuff) I became an ADC person! Working with ArrowPoint (Cisco acquired and turned into CSS), Radware, Zeus Technology (5 companies, 12 years, same product), and now A10. It’s an interesting space to be in, being the nexus point of network / security / application. Always something new to learn, and technology changing.
A10 SPEAKER
Gary Nudd, Senior Sales, A10 Networks
As a sales professional at A10 Networks, I help organisations strengthen their security posture, improve application performance, and protect critical digital services from evolving cyber threats. My career has been focused on application security, working closely with customers to address challenges related to DDoS protection, web application security, secure application delivery, and infrastructure resilience.
A10 Webinar
Why Attend the Webinar?
Many ADC platforms claim high performance. Few can deliver ultra-low latency while simultaneously providing the intelligent Layer 7 capabilities required to optimise FIX traffic and support increasingly complex trading infrastructures. This session will demonstrate how A10's ULL2 architecture enables organisations to:
- Remove the traditional compromise between speed and intelligence
- Consolidate services without introducing latency penalties
- Improve infrastructure efficiency while maintaining trading performance
- Future-proof electronic trading environments as volumes continue to grow
