A serious concern for market data teams is assuring stable application behavior as market data rates rise. Market data applications often exhibit crashes or other unstable behavior in response to short-term surges in market data rates. Subsequently, there's a strong interest in knowing maximum market data rates and assuring stable operation at those maximum rates.

The Ultra Messaging suite of products from 29West (i.e. LBM and UME) possess inherent features that allow our customers to build applications that are stable at most any feasible market data rates that may be rolled out by market data vendors. There are also features that allow fine-grained measurement of latency.
