Bear, Stearns & Co. has selected Vhayu Velocity as a fast, redundant intraday tick cache for their electronic trading engines. The decision to choose Vhayu was based on the speed and scalability of the Velocity platform.

"Vhayu's software was designed specifically for market data and has built-in scalability and reliability that we demand within our trading technology infrastructure," said Jerome Downey, senior managing director of Bear Stearns.

Jeff Hudson, CEO of Vhayu, said that many firms have decided that it is too difficult to build their own in-house systems for data analysis and storage and are turning to vendors for solutions.
