Oracle High Performance
commodity Trading Platform
Oracle High Performance Commodity Trading (HPCT) is the
foundation for growing the commodity trading business and
mitigating its operational risk.
HPCT is a platform to support high transaction volumes and calculations, provide high‑speed connectivity to run various trading applications, and process and analyze massive data feeds in real‑time.
The key differentiator between electronic trading market participants is the speed at which they can capture and process market data into opportunities.
Until recently, managing the dynamics of multiple markets, large portfolios, and massive amounts of data quickly has been unattainable at the required price/ performance point.
Meanwhile, the geographic spread of today’s trading business imposes the need for immediate replication of databases and information to effectively calculate risks and fulfill orders.
Throwing more hardware at the
problem and creating more bottlenecks in performance, transparency, and equipment management is no longer a viable option.
High performance trading platforms and the ability to execute calculations on large data sets are not just
competitive advantages, they are an absolute necessity.
