This landmark 7-figure investment aligns with Beeks’ commitment to enhancing performance and reliability for its institutional clients. ÜberNIC is an FPGA-based Ethernet adapter delivering unmatched capabilities including sub-microsecond latency, line-rate throughput, consistent and deterministic performance, with zero dropped messages, all critical in latency sensitive trading environments.
Beeks, and its clients, benefit from ÜberNIC’s significant fiber-density, PCIe Gen 5 capability, and, uniquely, features such as Compute Express Link (“CXL”), White Rabbit (pico-second precision time), line-rate PCAP’ing, and SmartNIC network-edge programmability, all in a single PCIe-slot footprint.
Beeks, through this relationship with LMS, deepens its technological leadership and expands its market infrastructure capabilities across global financial hubs. This investment enables Beeks to integrate ÜberNIC’s high-performance network technology into its services, enhancing Beeks’ ability to deliver superlative outcomes to its clients, including exchanges and trading venues, banks, asset managers, and algorithmic trading firms.
“This investment reflects our careful and deliberate approach to strengthening Beeks’ infrastructure offering for capital markets,” said Gordon McArthur, CEO of Beeks Group. “Integrating ÜberNIC technology will help us deliver even greater execution speeds and predictability for our clients’ trading strategies.”
The partnership provides Beeks with a multi-function plug-and-play FPGA solution for the first time, enabling hardware accelerated performance and ultra-low-latency execution across its managed infrastructure. Beeks has secured exclusive access to ÜberNIC for the managed FSI data center segment.
“I’m excited by Beeks’ vision to embrace and globally deploy ÜberNIC’s unique features for the Financial Services Industry. The LMS team is excited to work with Beeks to bring our shared vision to fruition,” said Seth Friedman, CEO of LMS.
