Case Study: Financial Services Firm Remains Compliant With ProStor InfiniVault®

Selero provides highly automated trade execution and connectivity solutions for the equities trading marketplace. The company's solutions are designed to be fast-to-implement, fast-to-operate, and fast-to-adjust in response to real-time market dynamics. Selero's customers include asset managers, broker dealers, exchanges, electronic communications networks, automatic transfer services, and regulators. Its services include smart order routing, trading systems for brokerage banks and international trades, intra- and inter-organization system integration, and a custom financial information exchange (FIX) engine to improve real-time electronic securities trading.

Selero's goal was to find a cost-effective, scalable, archive and retention management solution to help it achieve economic and operational benefits. These benefits would be achieved by consolidating disparate storage resources, reducing backup and recovery windows, effectively using floor space and power supplies, and complying with government regulations on data retention management. "Our industry is highly compliance-driven and regulated," added Robertson. "Lots of companies will say they're compliant until auditors take a look and tell them they're not; then it's too late," he said.

"We examined several archive and compliance solutions before choosing ProStor InfiniVault®," continued Robertson. "The ProStor InfiniVault storage system proved ideal because it offered numerous benefits in the areas of economics, green storage, implementing business and compliance rules, and ease of use. Coupled with its cost-of-ownership advantage over time as compared with other hard disk, tape, and optical disk offerings, ProStor InfiniVault was the clear choice."
