Apart from what everyone else
The system has a daily usage of over 1500 individuals - split between internal traders and external clients. It is Java based though there are small components written in C++. The most important thing is throughput and latency. Application must handle 100k price updates per second from a variety of exchanges around the globe, and must be able to transact orders in a decreasingly short time. As a result, analysts, developers, and support personnel must all be focused on achieving the leanest, fastest system they can deliver, whilst at the same time delivering required benefit to the business.
