Beeks, a leading managed cloud provider listed on the London Stock Exchange, has made a 7-figure investment in Liquid-Market-Solutions, provider high performance computing solutions offering unmatched capabilities including sub-microsecond latency, line-rate throughput, consistent and deterministic performance, with zero dropped messages, all critical in latency sensitive trading environments.
Founded in 2019, Liquid-Markets-Solutions (LMS) specializes in ultra-low-latency, high-capacity network connectivity, market access, and risk mitigation solutions for the financial sector and other industries. With operations in Switzerland, the United States, Japan and Hong Kong, LMS provides the world’s most performant FPGA-based network-attached-compute (NAC) systems under the ÜberNIC family, focusing on kernel bypass and PCIe transfer to achieve new standards in network edge performance. Their solutions are designed for high-performance computing, cloud infrastructure, and financial analytics, with use cases spanning advanced analytics and risk mitigation.
LMS has attracted a 7-figure investment from the Beeks Group, a leading managed cloud provider exclusively within this fast-moving sector. Its Infrastructure-as-a-Service model is optimized for low-latency private cloud compute, connectivity and analytics, providing the flexibility to deploy and connect to exchanges, trading venues and public cloud for a true hybrid cloud experience.
Through their investment in LMS, Beeks and its clients will 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 has also strengthened technological leadership and expanded its market infrastructure capabilities across global financial hubs. The company will 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.
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.
