''While looking ahead at a converged wholesale and
retail payment system, banks and other financial
institutions are also focusing on the more immediate,
and pressing, priorities of lowering costs and
delivering real-time payments amid rising security
threats. At the same time, banks and other payment
entities also have to contend with consolidation—
through frequent mergers and acquisitions—and
manage disparate sources of information.

Likewise, today’s capital markets are looking to take
advantage of growth opportunities while continuing to
provide seamless operation. There’s no room for error,
especially with the trade matching systems at the core
of the exchange; companies rely on these systems to
manage risk by keeping operations up and running. If
these systems aren’t working, there is a loss of business
and revenue and, with it, a loss of confidence, which
can be devastating for any financial institution.
Needless to say, the pressure to meet customer service
demands, improve financial performance, and still
maintain the high levels of security and availability
required of this industry is extreme. Fortunately, many
financial institutions, like yours, have experienced
firsthand the reliability and high availability of
HP NonStop servers.

“Major U.K. banks all know of HP’s
successful track record with the NonStop
platform. They know it can deliver 99.99
percent availability in central switching and
that is a significant proof point for LINK
when seeking new business.”
Steve Garlick, senior solutions architect,
VocaLink (formerly LINK)

''HP expands the Integrity NonStop
server family Many financial organizations are looking to
HP Integrity NonStop servers for the continuous
availability, unrivaled data integrity, and virtually
unlimited scalability—ideal for demanding,
transaction-intensive applications. Fortunately the
Integrity NonStop server family—including the new
HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem, the NS16200,
NS14200, and the entry-class NS1200—provides
organizations with the performance gains and cost
benefits they’re seeking as well.''
