The pace of business today, in a highly competitive global marketplace, demands real-time agility. Organisations need to be event-driven. Delayed response to changing conditions can mean missed opportunities, overlooked threats. But building an end to end low-latency infrastructure that can accelerate the analysis of incoming data has always been difficult.

Attend this exclusive free of charge technology seminar to learn how S3 and its partners; Xsigo, Force 10, Isilon and Riverbed can help reduce latency, increase throughput and remove bottlenecks across your datacentre from Server to Network to Storage.

Low latency is a hot topic within the financial markets, where the proliferation of algorithmic trading requires firms to react to market events faster than their competition to increase profitability of trades. A large global investment bank has recently stated that every millisecond lost results in $100m per annum in lost opportunity.

"If simulation and analysis performance degrades, so does market competitiveness"
