Each week, IBM will highlight a story from around the world where IBM engineers are collaborating with clients, business partners, ISV's and education institutions to bring the latest technology to the market in new and innovative ways. |
Did you know...
...In December 2004, the New York Stock Exchange purchased 3,000 handheld devices custom-made by IBM engineers and designers? The devices were a part of the NYSE's TradeWork's processing system, allowing brokers to use the devices on the trading room floor to link to a wireless network where they buy and sell orders.
The IBM solution for the NYSE was an integrated offering, which included both software and hardware. IBM helped the NYSE form a solid backbone for this new order management and messaging system designed to manage more than 4 billion trades daily. The system is one of the world's most sophisticated examples of 'Extreme Availability,' which eliminates downtime.
