Alliance MX Maximizes Trading Communications
The Alliance MX system is IPC’s core platform for trading system applications – designed and built specifically for the mission-critical and demanding environment of the trading floor. Alliance MX’s “mesh” switching architecture creates the resiliency and reliability on which our financial markets customers depend. At the same time, Alliance MX’s integrated support for IP standards, replicated databases, and network management tools creates a services-oriented architecture on which ride enterprise voice and electronic trading applications. These applications enhance your traders’ productivity and create unparalleled support for Business Continuity Planning and Disaster Recovery (BCP/DR).
Maximum Resiliency
IPC’s commitment to reliability and resiliency of our systems is unmatched. Alliance MX is designed for resiliency, starting with its unique mesh architecture (which makes complete system failures virtually impossible). Alliance MX also supports multiple station cards per turret, dual power supplies and redundant AC power.
Maximum BCP/DR
Optional software such as
EASe,
Nexus Suite™, and
MAXaccess 1000®, combined with IPC Network Services’ SIP-enabled
Enhanced Voice Services, enable robust BCP/DR. Alliance MX includes support for thin-building and dual-data-center solutions.
Maximum Enterprise Reach
Alliance MX provides multiple mechanisms for integrating trading communications with the rest of your enterprise communications infrastructure. This translates into higher productivity and superior customer service, as your traders more effectively collaborate with research analysts, compliance specialists, and other experts.
Nexus Suite enables this capability.
