Maxeler Technologies Inc Collaborates with Hitachi Data Systems Around

High-Performance Compliance Capture and Analytics Solution for Financial

Institutions
Addressing the demands of new financial legislation and compliance regulations with a
high-performance compliance capture and analytics solution
Mountain View, CA, December 26, 2016 --(PR.com)-- Maxeler Technologies Inc., a leading provider of
Dataflow computing platforms and a member of the Hitachi Technology Alliance Program, announced
today its collaboration with Hitachi Data Systems to address the demands of new financial legislation and
compliance regulations with a high-performance compliance capture and analytics solution. The
Maxeler-Hitachi Data Systems solution combines Maxeler Technologies Data Flow Engine (DFE)
technology with high-reliability Hitachi NAS (HNAS) and Hitachi Unified Storage (HUS) for
performance-matched data acquisition and storage and Pentaho Data Integration and Business Analytics
software for real-time and forensic analytics and reporting dashboards. Offering end-to-end nanosecond
packet capture, deep memory buffering and timestamping at line rate, the solution helps financial
institutions achieve the high-frequency, transaction-related record keeping mandated in European Union
MiFID II and US Dodd-Frank regulations.
With Maxeler's customizable dataflow engine (DFE) technology, data is streamed from memory onto a
chip where the data moves directly from one functional unit to another, without being written to off-chip
memory until the entire process is complete. With a DFE, there is no need for instructions because the
DFE itself represents the computation. As a result, there is also no need for memory decode logic, branch
prediction or out of order scheduling, allowing the chip to dedicate all its resources to performing
computation. As such, dataflow computing can accelerate and run different applications orders of
magnitude faster than conventional CPUs. The Maxeler DFE technology captures, analyzes and stores
streaming IP traffic at full 10Gb/s line speed.
Demonstrated at AWS re:Invent at the end of November, the Maxeler-Hitachi Data Systems solution
leverages the new Amazon AWS F1 instance, the first cloud instance with programmable hardware for
field-programmable gate array (FPGA) application acceleration, which simplifies and speeds the
deployment of the application to more than a million AWS customers with just a few clicks.
"The collaboration between Maxeler Technologies and Hitachi Data Systems can solve a serious problem
for financial institutions across the globe. The combination of Hitachi data acquisition, storage and
analytics with high-speed dataflow computing from Maxeler Dataflow Engines and the new AWS F1
instance represents a very significant breakthrough for financial organizations who need maximum
performance without unreasonable costs or timelines," says Geoff Smailes, Chairman of the Maxeler
Technologies Board of Directors, who worked previously at a Tier 1 financial institution.
As financial institutions acknowledge the importance of data as an asset and as they continue to deploy
sophisticated analytics to realize the benefit of that asset, we will begin to see some achieve competitive
advantages in this fast-paced marketplace. Of course, these organizations also face continued regulatory
