Feed Handler, Consolidated Order Book, and Platform Services Production systems:

Processor: AMD or Intel x86 architecture 32- or 64-bit or Sun UltraSPARC, containing two processors or cores of at least 2.5 GHz

Minimum memory requirements: 3 GB *

Minimum disk space requirements: 2 x 36 GB

Dual 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters **

* On Solaris only, feed handlers for SIAC CTA and LSE Infolect require a minimum of 8 GB memory, and all other feed handlers
require a minimum of 4 GB memory

** Most production feed handler environments require dual 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapters for the redundant flow of incoming data. A 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter or InfiniBand adapter is required for outgoing data. InfiniBand transport only available when using the embedded WebSphere MQ Low Latency Messaging multicast transport, on a supported Linux operating system with hardware supporting the OpenFabrics Enterprise Distribution (OFED) version 1.2 (or higher). Native InfiniBand and IP over InfiniBand are supported.
