Blades Give Trading Application an Edge

“Dell blades are the right solution for our business because the reduced power, space, and management requirements allow us to focus our resources. We are confident that our clients are benefiting from the most reliable and efficient technology available today.”

- Keith S. Smith Jr., systems engineer, Tora Trading Services

Due to power constraints and a reliance on 1U and 2U rack servers, Tora Trading Services data center was unable to scale to provide necessary resources. It was also too complex to manage, making the data center inefficient and unwieldy.

Working with Dell, Tora migrated its proprietary trading application to 3 Dell^TM  PowerEdge^TM  M1000e enclosures with 33 Dell PowerEdge M600 blade servers deployed. The blade system provided excellent power management, optimized space, and reduced infrastructure costs.
